Secluded Log Cabin Near The University of the South

The Cabin at Muggs Pond

Built in 1975 and remodeled in 2006, The Cabin at Muggs Pond offers the perfect amount of mountain seclusion just 10 minutes (and three stop signs) away from The University of the South and St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School campuses. Full of rustic charm and eclectic flare, The Cabin also comes equipped with all the modern necessities and features you need during a weekend getaway or an extended vacation.

Step outside The Cabin’s back door to easily access a 1¾ mile trail perfect for walking, running or biking. Take the short walk down to Muggs Pond for plenty of fishing, canoeing and swimming. Enjoy morning cups of coffee or evening cocktails on The Cabin’s covered back porch. Grill up delicious dinners on The Cabin’s large side deck, complete with built-in bench seating.

The Cabin's great room includes a beautiful stained-glass window and large mountain stone fireplace, fully stocked with firewood for cold winter nights. Each of the bedrooms on the main level has its own 1/2 bath (toilet and sink) and shares a tub shower with an adjoining bedroom. The Cabin’s original full bath is also located on the main level, off of the kitchen. Walk up the spiral staircase to reach The Cabin’s loft bedroom, which has a cozy sitting area/den adjacent to it ideal for reading books, watching movies or playing board games with friends.

Excellent for any occasion (Myers Point, a favorite venue for Sewanee weddings and receptions; is only 1/4 mile away!), The Cabin is sure to make your trip to the mountain one to remember.

Check-in time is 3:00 pm. Check-out time is 11:00 am.

Homecoming Weekend Stay
We used the Cabin for our 10-year reunion and it was a great property for all of the families to reunite and was very kid friendly as well!

Secluded but close
The property is beautiful and we had a perfect fall weekend to enjoy leaf season. The cabin is spacious, accommodating and very well equipped. A college classmate who lives in Dallas has a son at Sewanee who is in the football team. Our daughter graduated from and was married at Sewanee so it is a great opportunity to see an old friend and be on the mountaintop. We were here last year and plan to return next fall.

The Cabin is a great cabin
We really enjoyed our stay, it was so much more than you see in the picture. The pond has great fishing. We enjoyed sitting on the back porch listening to all the birds and watching the squirrels play. It was so great of a home, we are wanting to rent The Cabin again in the future.

Sewanee Graduation 2023
peaceful, rustic cabin in the woods, surrounded by bird song. The Cabin on Muggs pond was the perfect place to unwind and relax from all the graduation festivities. In the morning we would gather on the porch for coffee and listen to the birds all around us. Evenings found us listening to music, cooking dinner, visiting on the porch or deck, and playing Scrabble in this cozy cabin that has all the amenities. We were sad to leave .

Family weekend
6 of us stayed at The Cabin and it was perfect for us. Visiting my son at The University of the South, we had a perfect place to relax, gather ourselves in the morning, built a roaring fire one evening and just enjoy being together. Very close to Sewanee, TN - this spot really made our weekend special.
