About this property

Rising Sun Retreat, 15 Acres on a Bluff - Sleeps 18

The Rising Sun Retreat is the perfect property to host a truly memorable gathering of friends and family or to plan a retreat or event in a picturesque setting with awe-inspiring views. Situated on a massive bluff overlooking the Cumberland Plateau, the property features waterfalls, trails, cedar sauna, fire circle, yoga studio / gathering space, wrap-around screened porch, and an outdoor kitchen. The property is 15 minutes from Sewanee, the University and endless miles of trails for hiking, biking, and exploring.

This 15-acre secluded property contains a large cabin house, a studio space, 4 glamping tents, and a bathhouse with private bathrooms and outdoor kitchen. Learn more about each space below...

The Main House has 3 private rooms with bath tub, hot shower and bathroom connected to each room. Two rooms share one bathroom, and the Master has a private full bath with a balcony overlooking the bluff and sounds of the babbling brook just out the window.

The "Little Lodge" contains 4 private single rooms - fully furnished, each with a twin bed, cozy rugs and plush bedding. It is connected to the main house, and hot showers and restrooms are indoors, just down the hallway.

Experience our extraordinary canvas tents and dive into the beauty of wilderness living. Our framed, canvas tents are completely outfitted with cedar floors, cozy rugs, beds with warm, plush bedding, cast-iron stoves for fires on cool nights, lanterns and front porch seating. Hot showers and restrooms are just a few steps away. Tent camps have a front deck where you can read, relax or visit with your neighbors and enjoy the trees and the infinitely starry sky.

Stunning, charming retreat

This place is absolutely incredible. I suspected it would be special, but the pictures don’t do it justice. The views are spectacular, the accommodations are cozy and comfortable, and the property is beautiful. The home is charming and thoughtfully put together—it certainly doesn’t feel like a rental (in the best ways!), but rather feels as if you’re visiting a really special family property. The host was very responsive and helpful, and we will definitely be back.
