A Local's Guide to a Fall Weekend in Sewanee
There's something magical about Fall on the Mountain. The changing leaves, crisp morning air, and slower pace make Sewanee and the surrounding South Cumberland Plateau the perfect place to spend a weekend.
Whether you're visiting your Sewanee student, returning as an alum, or simply planning a fall getaway, here are a few of our favorite ways to experience the Mountain this season.
Hit the Trails
Take in the sweeping views from Sewanee's Piney Point, explore the waterfalls and wooded trails at Foster Falls, or venture into Savage Gulf State Park for some of the area's most beautiful fall scenery.
Eat, Drink & Explore
Start your morning with coffee and breakfast at Mountain Goat Market in Monteagle, enjoy a meal at Shenanigans in Sewanee, or browse the local shops and galleries around the University and nearby communities.
Stay a Little Longer
The best part of a fall weekend? Having a cozy place to come home to after a day of exploring.
At Reverie Vacation Rentals, we offer locally managed cabins, tiny homes, and vacation homes throughout Sewanee and the South Cumberland area. Whether you're looking for a peaceful bluffside retreat, a hot tub under the stars, or room for the whole family, there's a place to make your Mountain getaway feel like home.
