About this property

Dramatic Mountain View Within Minutes from Sewanee

"Mountain View" is a cozy house that features the best view on scenic Monteagle Mountain. This comfortable, 2850 square feet mountain house was built in 2001 and is newly decorated. It is nestled on 5.5 acres, overlooking a dramatic 2000 foot view in Clifftops - between Sewanee and Monteagle, Tennessee. There are 900 added square feet of porch, both screened and open, a vast great room with open kitchen is an exceptional gathering place with vaulted ceiling, large stone, wood-burning fireplace, multiple seating areas and stereo with built-in speakers.

There are four bedrooms, sleeping a total of 8 people in beds. Two bedrooms are on each side of the great room. One bedroom is a master with private porch, queen bed, ceiling fan and master bath with whirlpool tub and luxury shower. A second bedroom overlooking the mountain view has a double bed and bath. The third bedroom has twin beds and bath. The fourth bedroom, also overlooking the mountain, has a double bed. There is a sofa-bed in the great room and there are 3 air mattresses.

A large, open modern kitchen has new gas stove and range and every convenience and is open to the great room. Hardwood floors are throughout and ceiling fans are in the great room and on the porches.

The home is an ideal place to relax and gaze at the mountain view which is dramatic four seasons of the year. Mountainview is located in a community called Clifftops, which has abundant wildlife, walking trails, and a quick walk to tennis, basketball, swimming and a swing set, which are directly next to the property. There are two club houses and a beautiful lake for swimming.

If you are unfamiliar with Monteagle Mountain, it is one of the most stunning natural areas of the Cumberland Plateau, designated nationally as a "bio-gem" because of its rich diversity of wildlife, trees, birds and other species.

Nearby Savage Gulf State Park has ample hiking and gorgeous more fabulous wildlife.

There are several award-winning restaurants, coffee houses and sandwich shops close by, and mountain shopping with crafts, pottery and antiques. The home is just 5 miles from the campus of the University of the South at Sewanee where there are numerous activities including the Sewanee Summer Music Festival.

Quick Weekend Getaway

We have stayed in Clifftops several times and this home has the most incredible view on the bluff! The house was spotless and the kitchen well stocked. The floor plan is great with three of the four bedrooms having bluff views. It is so very peaceful and super secluded!

Family weekend hideout

It is not possible to put into words the view that arrives at sunrise - ridge tops in rolling fog, clearing to the fall colors hidden beneath. Had a wonderful (but too short) stay in this mountain retreat home. All as presented online and so much more - we will remember this weekend forever.

Wonderful house!

Absolutely beautiful house and fabulous view! It is within walking distance of pool, pickle ball and tennis courts and playground. The kids in the family loved that. The lake is a drive. The kids also loved swimming, in the lake, jumping off the dock and playing on the floats that were there. A wonderful Labor Day weekend for three generations of a family.

Christmas at Clifftops

My family and I had a wonderful white Christmas at Clifftops. We loved the layout and size of the house. Everyone thought it was better in person than the photos depicted online. Kitchen was bigger than we thought which was great as there were a lot of cooks moving about. We didn’t get to enjoy the large porch as it was very cold outside, but did enjoy the view. House was well supplied with nearly anything you might think of. Definitely would like to go back.

Perfect

This was our second stay at Clifftops and we were just as thrilled as last time. Such beauty, stillness and peace. Everything we needed was at hand. We were very blessed to be here and to spend time with family. The twins loved all of the games that were available. They ran straight to the basket of dolls that they loved during our last visit and about which they had been talking excitedly. Thank you so much Beth and Richard!!!

Delightful Home

What a wonderful home! Terrific open plan kitchen and living area. The beds were super comfortable and all the rooms opened onto porches (screened and open) that looked over the most majestic view! The proximity to the new pickleball courts was definitely a plus for us! And, they had racquets and balls for us to use! Definitely a well stocked home!

Beautiful Mountain Home

6 adults stayed at this gorgeous mountain home. We were all so impressed with how well stocked it was. Most rentals have cheap toilet paper, no laundry detergent, etc. Beth had it all ready for us! She has spices, coffee filters, tons of different teas…and if you want to get really fancy you can make a nespresso with one of the many flavor pods that were there. And don’t get me started on all the books and games that were there! The view was gorgeous and it was a quick walk (less than 5 minutes) from the top of the driveway to the pool. I would definitely recommend this home!

Perfect for Sewanee Families!

This house has served as our ‘home away from home’ over the years while our daughter attended Sewanee. Over our stays, we’ve hosted visiting family members easily and everyone appreciates it's comfortable, spacious and family-friendly design. If you’re a Sewanee family looking for a location to serve meals, play games & relax (with a gorgeous view) then this is you’ve found your spot! Class of '22 -- YSR!

About the host

Hosted by Beth Courtney

Host profile image
We live in Nashville, 1.5 hours from the property. We bought the house, which was built in 2001, in 2005. We fell in love with the view and my husband attended the University of the South.

Why they chose this property

The view takes your breath away - it stunning every season and time of day - even when it rains and the clouds roll through. We are secluded on 6 wooded acres, but a 5 minute walk to the pool and tennis courts at Clifftops - which is like a natural park. Also, we are just 5 miles from the University of the South. The house is new and comfortable - it was designed for family gatherings with big porch, fireplace and open kitchen.

What makes this property unique

The house has four bedrooms, 3 which face the mountain. It has 2.5 baths - stereo system with built in speakers and two televisions. It is surrounded by the woods - has many walking trails in Clifftops, the community. Plus, there is a lake, pool, swing set, basketball and tennis in the community, which is gated.
