With a beautiful queen-sized canopy bed, paired with comfy bedding, you and a partner can sleep in or stay up late. Watch a movie in your suite or open the windows and let the outside in. The adjoining bath boasts an oversized shower and organic, posh toiletries to leave you refreshed.
••• Guest Bedroom 2 / Office •••
You can work or play in this bedroom office. Setup your laptop with a view of the bluff from the desk, or let the kids have their own room with a bunk bed and twin-sized trundle that sleeps three. With a travel crib in the closet, and an oversized lounge chair by the window, it’s also the perfect nursery for rocking a little one to sleep.
••• Kitchen and Dining •••
Impress the family with your cooking skills in the open kitchen with double ovens, a six-burner gas stove, and all the appliances you’d expect (fridge, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, Keurig). We’ve stocked the cabinets with everything you might need, including a full set of pots, pans, bakewear, and a pantry with the essentials. The dining table seats six and offers its own views of the bluff. (If you’d rather eat outside, the screen porch has a table that seats six, too!)

An architectural gem designed by acclaimed Nashville architect Neil Bass, Sewanee Woods has been restored and reimagined as the ultimate mountain retreat. Bass was instrumental in preserving historic structures in Nashville, and designed a number of important public buildings, including the Senate Chamber and House of Representatives in the Tennessee State Capitol, the Nashville Metropolitan Courthouse, and the Botanic Hall at Cheekwood. He only designed 15 residences; Sewanee Woods is one of them.
