Monteagle Mountain and Sewanee sit high atop the fast paced world below and enjoy a rich history, a casual lifestyle, charming restaurants, and is the preferred locale for vacation, second and retirement homes.  We are frequently surrounded by natures most spectacular shows. 

Monteagle Mountain is the highest mountain on I-24 and is the gateway to the Cumberland Plateau.  There are two Monteagle exits on I-24, exits 134 and 135.  They connect the interstate to Highways 64, 41A, 156, 56, 50 and 41.  Highway 41 is the old historic highway connecting Chicago to Miami.  It was the site of the halfway house of Al Capone which is now a charming gourmet restaurant called High Point Restaurant.

The Cumberland Plateau is the largest remaining forested plateau in the continental United States.  It is the home to the South Cumberland State Recreational Area, comprised of over 16,000 acres.  Popular destinations include: Carter State Natural Area, Fiery Gizzard Trail, Foster Falls, Greeter Falls, Grundy Lakes, Savage Gulf and its Stone Door, and Sewanee Natural Bridge.  We had approximately 990,000 visitors go through our park system in 2000.

The University of the South in Sewanee is located about 3 miles from Monteagle.  There are 1300 students and approximately 1000 residents.  It was rebuilt after the civil war by English stone masons and looks as if you have stepped into Oxford.  Sewanee is a bountiful source of activity.  Annual occurrences are the Tennessee Williams Writers Conference, performing arts live theater, classical and chamber music performances on weekends in summer and also a guest lecture series.

The DuBose Conference Center is located in Monteagle.  It is a retreat, summer camp  and conference center owned by the Episcopal Church.

We have so much to share so come visit us awhile and enjoy all that the mountain and local region have to offer
