Also the Edgeworth Inn and Suites and Campus Suites (931) 924-4000, (931) 598-5121 or 187.RELAX.INN offers accommodations in the Monteagle Assembly.

If you are planning on staying more than one or two nights, or if you have a large group, you might consider renting a house in the Monteagle Assembly. The number for the Housing Cooridinator is (931) 924-9000, or email mssadh@blomand.net. Parents attempting to do this for the first time should not be discouraged. Accommodations in the Assembly are very popular, and some parents of upperclassmen may have planned well in advance to reserve a place for such popular times as Family Weekend or Commencement. The WildHeart Lodge (Guest Rooms & Lodge) is located on the plateau but a few miles out (423) 837-5730.

Should you decide to go “down the Mountain,” the county seat, Winchester, has several motels, including the Jameson Inn (931) 962-0130 and the Best Western Inn (931) 967-9444. Another “down the Mountain” option would be the Franklin-Pearson House (931) 962-3233, a 9-room bed and breakfast in Cowan.

There is also the Antebellum Inn which is a five guest room bed and breakfast. (931) 967-5550. On particularly busy weekends, including Family Weekend, Alumni Homecoming, and Commencement, it may be necessary to seek accommodations in more distant towns and cities, such as Tullahoma, Manchester, South Pittsburg, or even Chattanooga.

If you are more of the outdoors type and do not mind driving 25 miles, Tims Ford State Park (931) 962-2706 is a very nice place to stay with comfortable, modern cabins set in beautiful natural surroundings. Tims Ford is located outside of Winchester.
