Howdy! We’re Brooke & Clay Allison

We’ve been hosting adventure retreats since 2019 when we built our first retreat near Glacier, Montana. From the first views of the Rocky Mountains to the steep climbs, cool glacial lake dips, & hearty home-cooked meals, we have fallen in love with giving people new experiences, and building spaces allow this whole-body, whole-being reset. We believe people need a place to let go of their busy schedules, get away from technology, and really be present.

After our first 3 summers at the Rising Wolf Retreat in Montana, we started dreaming up a new location that would be available year-round and would be very accessible to our hometown of Nashville. When we explored the home, the property and the town of Sewanee, we knew this was the place! We’ve always loved hiking the Cumberland Plateau - enjoying the Fiery Gizzard Trail, Fall Creek Falls, the Sewanee Perimeter Trails and the biking, swimming & climbing that the area has to offer. The home itself has deep ties to the Sewanee Episcopalian church and university and is filled with a history of antiques, art & artifacts from the region. We can’t wait for you to join us and to welcome you to Sewanee & The Rising Sun Retreat!
