Our house was built in 1872. It is among the first 50 houses built in Sewanee as the University started offering classes. It originally served as a boarding and guest home. We extend that guest service to current visitors for University events. The Castle Room was created in 1996 for our then six-year-old son. We hired University theater majors to make him a castle. While he is now an adult, the castle remains. We promise to treat you like royalty! Sorry, we love dogs, but no pets please. The queen bed has a comfortable mattress, 100% cotton linens, down pillows, a down comforter (down alternate if you request), an armoire for your clothing and a desk for work should you need it. All our bedrooms are on the second floor. The bathrooms are shared with other guests. We are available for anything you need but will give you all the privacy you want. That said, our kitchen seems to be a natural gathering spot for trading stories especially over a morning cup of coffee. Sewanee is a magical place. We have a welcoming community that will draw you in. People walk and ride bikes. They sit on their porches on soft afternoons and quiet evenings. If your looking for a place to slowdown and enjoy a book or a conversation, you'll find your place in Sewanee. The best mode of transportation is a good pair of walking shoes or a bike. You can drive, but parking is limited in central campus. There is free parking downtown, but it iOS only half a mile from our front porch. There is no public Transit, but there are regular shuttles to the Atlanta, Chattanooga, and Nashville airports. If you are the parent of a prospective or newly admitted student, ask us for tips about being a Sewanee parent that are not normally covered by the admissions folk. Don't get me wrong, the admissions people are great and straight shooters. We've no dirty secrets to tell, but being a parent is different from being a student.
