The story

The inn stands inside the Monteagle Sunday School Assembly, founded in 1882 on the Cumberland Plateau as the ‘Chautauqua of the South’. The district nomination describes it as a large two-story clapboard building of 1897 with a hip-and-deck roof, brick chimneys and a verandah on two sides with turned posts and brackets. It operates as a bed and breakfast with seven rooms and three suites, plus two Campus Suites on the University of the South’s domain at Sewanee.
