Secluded 2 Bedroom Retreat w/great family room on Sewanee Campus

This home is in one of our favorite areas to stay on campus and is within walking distance to the cross! The home, itself, is lovely. We never wanted for anything and never had any problems with amenities. The hosts were kind and communicative. But as much as I reluctantly post this because I am not usually that person, I feel that I need to mention that the mold and moisture in this house is off the charts. You can smell it before you ever walk in the front door. This is why I gave it 4 stars rather than 5 stars.

Disappointed The location is great and the inside of the house is clean, but the house has a LOT of deferred maintenance issues. Mold in a number of places on the outside wood part, rotted wood, etc. The main thing that got us is the moment we opened the front door, the house smelled of mold and mildew. I was told by the Owner that when the dehumidifier stopped, to empty the water tray. Well, the dehumidifier was stopped when we walked in. I don’t know how long it had not been running. We emptied the dehumidifier water tray three times while we were there for two nights. No wonder the house smelled of mold and mildew! My girlfriend, who is a very successful residential real estate agent in Atlanta, and is used to dealing with issues like this, was concerned about breathing the air inside the house! The Owner said the crawl space is encapsulated and there is a dehumidifier in the crawl space also, but whatever the problem is, the interior of the house just stinks. It is not pleasant staying in a house with that smell.Also, there was broken glass right in the middle of the driveway. These were big chunks of broken glass. The kind that can get caught in your tire treads and cause a flat. When I told the Owner, she said she wasn’t aware and would have the maintenance people check it out next week! How about cleaning it up immediately while we are there so we don’t have to drive around it to keep from getting a flat! Advice. Stay at The Sewanee Inn or some other house!!!

Charming Cottage-On Campus This may be my very favorite place to stay when visiting Sewanee. There's plenty of room, it is clean, comfortable and completely charming. Can't wait to come back in April!

Great house! Stayed here for Lessons & Carols with my husband, son & DIL. It was perfect…so much room, very confirtable and a great location. You can’t beat a sunset at The Cross! We will definitely stay here again.
