Sewanee Village

Sewanee Village

Sewanee is a world apart from the hustle and bustle of urban and suburban life. With a population of only 2,300, Sewanee will surprise you with its worldly outlook. Maybe it’s because we’re a town that attracts professors and students from around the globe, or maybe it’s the people born and raised here, whose wealth of local knowledge and experiences enrich our lives. Maybe it’s the family-friendly concerts under the stars, or welcoming places to grab a bite after a day on the trails, or beautiful crafts made by our friends and neighbors. Whatever it is, in Sewanee, you’ll feel welcome.

Sewanee is home to the University of the South—one of the country’s top liberal arts schools. Its 13,000-acre domain and surrounding state parks provide a paradise of forests, bluffs, waterfalls, hundreds of miles of trails for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding. Incredible views atop bluffs and cliffs overlook the valleys.
In Sewanee, you may come for comfort, too. Book a massage or enjoy restaurants serving all tastes, from burgers to risotto. End your evening at a luxurious inn or a short-term rental property. Start your day again at one of our local coffee shops.

There’s only one requirement: When we say hello, you have to say hello. Whether you’re here for the day or here for a lifetime, Sewanee won’t let you be a stranger for long.
