Why Jackson Point

More than a hotel room.

Under 25 Minutes From Campus

Close enough for every event. Far enough to decompress after a full day on the Mountain. No traffic, no downtown congestion — just a quiet drive through the mountains.

Space for the Whole Family

Two king bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, a full kitchen, and a living room with panoramic valley views. Invite your student over for a home-cooked meal — the kitchen is fully equipped.

The Wellness Room

A Japanese-inspired cedar soaking tub, 14-foot bifold doors that open to the valley, a private shower, yoga mats, and a vinyl station with curated records. The kind of decompression you won't find at a hotel.

Stay Connected or Unplug

1 gig fiber WiFi for remote work between events. Gas fire pit on the patio for evening conversations. EV charger in the driveway.

Morning Coffee, Done Right

Fellow Ode grinder, Chemex pour-over, Cosi kettle, and Third Coast Coffee beans from Austin. No Keurig pods — real coffee for real mornings on the mountain.

Book Direct — Save 15–20%

No Airbnb fees. No platform markup. Same commercial insurance and cancellation policies. Use code TIGER10 for an additional 10% off during Sewanee event weekends.

After the Ceremony

The real celebration happens here.

Commencement is one day. Make the weekend count. The Wellness Room at sunrise. The fire pit after dark. Your student's favorite meal in a real kitchen with a valley view. This is where the memories happen — not in a hotel lobby.

Add a celebration package: champagne, chocolates, and flowers staged before you arrive.

Multi-course private chef dinner served at Jackson Point

A Curated Amenity

A private chef in your kitchen.

After a full day of ceremonies, tours, or travel, the last thing anyone wants is to wait for a table. Bring dinner to the house instead.

We partner with Food Fire + Knives — a vetted network of professional private chefs. Choose your chef, choose your menu, choose your timing. They arrive with everything, prepare a multi-course meal in the Jackson Point kitchen, and leave it spotless. You stay seated.

What's included

Everything but the seat at the table.

À la carte multi-course menu with fixed per-guest pricing. Background-checked chefs (minimum 1 year sous chef experience). All food, equipment, and cleanup included. Online booking, chef confirms within 48 hours.

Booking, payment, and menu coordination are handled directly with Food Fire + Knives. Mention Jackson Point and your check-in date when finalizing your reservation.
