This gothic chapel looks like it was plucked out of medieval England. It’s open for visitors, and while you may run into choir rehearsals or worship services, you’re welcome at both!

Just outside of Sewanee, a very cool rock formation just a few steps from the parking lot. Not for those afraid of heights!

Take a pleasant stroll through central campus in a park that looks more than a little like something out of a fantasy novel. The stream running through it is fed by springs that were the first water source for the University.

The bluff at Morgan’s Steep is a favorite for repellers. Walk down a bit to find a series of small cascades and pools you can dip your feet in.

This chapel of the School of Theology was designed by famed architect Fay Jones, a student of Frank Lloyd Wright. It’s an easy walk from the apartment and is typically open, though the seminary keeps a busy worship schedule.

Food and drink
Fantastic porch, draft beer, and fried veggies. We also love Wednesday’s special, the Buffalo chicken salad. BOGO beer on Wednesday after 6 gets packed when class is in session.

A limited but good menu. We’re especially partial to the steak frites and flash fried Brussel sprouts. The back patio looks out on the golf course and is a lovely way to spend a happy hour.

A simple menu at the end of the golf course and lots of outside seating. We like the burgers (on the gluten free bun), and the salads are also good.

The cafe has a good breakfast and a very good plate lunch during the day. We also like the reuben. The tavern is open only in the evenings with local microbrews and pub food. BOGO beer on Wednesday, but doesn’t draw as many students as Shenanigans.

Yes, it’s a college cafeteria, but it’s really quite good, and an inexpensive place to get plenty to eat. Better during the week than on weekends.

This warm, little Mediterranean restaurant is worth your time. Menu items are as likely to come from Spain as Greece as Morocco. We're partial to the fish dishes in particular.
Portions are not too large, and the prices are reasonable. When the bill comes, we're always surprised at how well we've eaten for so little!

A lovely, newly opened French restaurant with a menu of crepes, stews, and cocktails that changes weekly. Served in a hip, slightly industrial setting. Reservations recommended!

A fantastic new place for a creative and delicious midday meal. Highly local and seasonal ingredients create a menu that changes each week, and when they’re out of an item, they’re out! Order at the counter and then grab a seat among the crowds of people piling into common tables.

Entertainment
A 30 minute drive from Sewanee, this amazing music venue hosts Bluegrass Underground as well as all sorts of national acts. Be sure to see if there’s a band you like (or could potentially like) playing while you’re in town.
