Escape to Camp McGu, a gorgeous log home with a magical lakefront setting in Monteagle's Clifftops, just minutes from Sewanee. Situated on five private acres, the home has three fireplaces and multiple outdoor seating areas and comes with three boats - two hybrid stand-up paddle boards and kayaks and one peddle boat.

The well-stocked, modern kitchen recently won the regional "Best Design" award from Wolfe appliances and is completely equipped to meet all your needs, with mixing bowls, pots, pans, utensils, griddle, blender, waffle maker and everything else you might need to prepare a perfect cabin meal. For coffee lovers, we have both French presses and a drip coffee maker, as well as a coffee bean grinder.

The spacious bedrooms are beautifully appointed for your comfort. The bedroom on the main floor opens to the back deck with fireplace and has a wall-mounted television. The second floor bedroom has a queen bed and access to the full bathroom on that floor. As well, there is a desk and sitting area in the lofted second floor that includes a single-sized futon for another guest. On the lower level is a bunk bed that accommodates five people, a full bathroom, and a TV area.

Outside, the huge deck is perfect for enjoying the views, watching the wildlife, and using the grill or smoker. Down at the lakeside gazebo and large dock, relax in an Adirondack chair, launch a boat, or fish for giant catfish.

The Clifftops community is equipped with a pool, a beach club, tennis and pickleball courts, a playground and numerous hiking trails, all of which you'll have access to as a Camp McGu guest.

* For people who are looking for a romantic getaway, Camp McGu makes it easy to unwind by one of the three fireplaces, sit on the expansive wrap-around deck, nap in the hammock or relax dockside for sunset.

* For families looking for a place to let the kids hike, bike, climb, cave, swim, and explore, the Sewanee-Monteagle area and South Cumberland State Park are great destinations. The Perimeter Trail around Sewanee is fabulous for hikes and mountain biking. The Mountain Goat Trail is a paved "rails to trails" mixed-use walking, biking, and running trail connecting Sewanne-Monteagle-Tracy City. Fiery Gizzard, Foster Falls, and Bigfoot Adventures are all within 20 minutes. At Camp McGu, we also have a tree pod, a ninja line, and a variety of board games perfect for family nights around the table.

* For music lovers, The Caverns Amphitheater venue in Pelham is just 20 minutes away. In March 2018, Bluegrass Underground began performances in its new home, the Caverns, at the foot of Monteagle Mountain. The Caverns is a full-fledged music venue hosting performances year-round. Several of these concerts will air across the nation on PBS channels.

* For golfers, Sewanee has a wonderfully unique and challenging nine-hole/18-tee golf course with great views. Sweetens Cove (ranked by Golfweek as the 21st best course in the U.S. you can play) is just 45 minutes away.
