Walk to everything. Sleep in stillness. Gather in style.
Book Your StayBrand new 2025 remodel and redesign on the University of the South campus. Five bedrooms. A 63-foot deck in the trees. Modern, artfully designed interiors with Sewanee touches throughout — and you can walk to every game, every chapel service, and every campus tradition.
The Benjamin House was rebuilt for gathering — a chef's kitchen that seats fourteen, a deck that stretches sixty-three feet into the trees, and room for everyone.
Complete remodel and interior design by Debbie Ball, Sewanee '78 — worldwide influence with Sewanee touches throughout.
Five bedrooms with premium bedding, ample closet space, and natural light. Four full bathrooms plus a half bath — everyone has their own space.
Premium appliances, generous counter space, and a dining area for fourteen. A dedicated coffee station for slow mornings on the mountain.
The best part of the house. Sixty-three feet of deck stretching into the tree canopy — morning coffee, evening drinks, or just sitting together under the stars.
Keyless entry with time-limited guest codes, high-speed WiFi, smart TVs in every gathering space, and central HVAC for year-round comfort.
Nestled in the hardwood forest of the Cumberland Plateau at 2,000 feet. Private walking trails begin at your doorstep. Mountain views in every direction.
Multiple indoor and outdoor living areas — a fireside living room, outdoor seating areas, board games, and room for everyone to be together or apart.
On the Domain. In the forest. Walking distance to everything that matters.
No rideshare. No designated driver. No parking stress. Walk to every game, every service, every Sewanee tradition — and walk home under the stars.
We tried to think of everything — from the moment you get your entry code to the morning you leave planning your next trip back.
Smart keyless entry with a unique, time-limited code. No key exchange, no check-in counter. Arrive on your schedule.
The chef's kitchen is built for gathering — fourteen seats at the table, premium appliances, a coffee station, and everything you need to make it yours.
Step off the deck and onto walking trails through the hardwood forest. No need to drive anywhere for your morning walk or evening stroll.
Bring the whole family. Pet bowls provided, and miles of forest trails and your dog will love it too.
