Wonderful weekend stay
We had a lovely stay at the Sewanne Inn. The lobby is beautiful and cozy and the staff was welcoming and went out of their way to accommodate us. Its proximity to the university is perfect for exploring the campus and hiking trails.We didn’t golf or tennis but the facilities looked nice. The breakfast at Shakerag restaurant is not to be missed. Overall, we had a rejuvenating stay.

Peaceful and serene are good words to describe this property once you step foot inside the door. The construction and decor along with large open feel are welcoming. Staff is very helpful and knowledgable of the local area.
