About this property

Fully renovated campus home.

The home was originally built by beloved professor emeritus Dr. Steven Shrader, known for founding the Sewanee Orchestra.
We’ve named our home “Back on Tennessee Cottage,” bringing to mind Alumni returning to the Domain, our Tennessee roots, and capturing the location just off University Avenue. Given this is our family’s second home, we ask that guests help preserve the like new condition and we insist on no smoking or pets.

The home features an elegant octagonal suite, originally Dr. Shrader’s music room, now converted into an optional 4th bedroom. This 3, or 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath home (both full baths upstairs) is located directly across from the School of Theology and Quintard Hall on the corner of Tennessee and Mikell. The convenient location is walking distance to anything on campus or to shops and restaurants in the downtown Village.

Recent updates include fully remodeled bathrooms, added and refinished hardwood floors, and fresh paint throughout. Our home will comfortably sleep 8 guests. The kitchen is fully stocked and the floor plan is perfect for entertaining. Take your pick of two porches to enjoy nature or waive at students about their day. Our family friendly home offers a space for everyone’s enjoyment and we have carefully incorporated elements of the University into the décor.

With a location in the heart of campus, updates that provide modern comfort while preserving “Sewanee charm," we can’t wait to share our treasure with you.

Additional pricing on “special” weekends.

This home is only available during University sponsored or approved events.

Incredible Home in Sewanee!
We had a great stay at this home. Very spacious & very well appointed. Right in the heart of campus so it was perfect for the wedding weekend we were attending. Unlike a lot of homes in Sewanee that are rough and outdated, this home is nice and very updated. Covered parking as well. Next trip to the Mountain we'll certainly try to rent this home again.

Wedding weekend
We booked this property for our daughter’s on campus wedding, because of its great location/proximity to Sewanne campus and main level space. Everything was just as described and portrayed in the pictures. All the bridesmaids got ready on the main level the day of the wedding, and i was able to stay upstairs, out of the way :). It was just what we needed and clean and well maintained. Definitely will rent again if I need a place on campus.

Weekend wedding in Sewanee Tennessee
We had a good experience and a fun weekend at the property. The only problem we experienced was that the property was advertised as a 4 bedroom 3 bathroom house. . The house actually has 4 bedrooms and 2 and 1/2 baths. The downstairs master is beautiful but does not have a closet or a bathroom attached to it or even on the first floor. It does offer a 1/2 bath on this level. The house was great for up to 6 guest. It will sleep 8 but bathroom space can be an issue. In fairness, I originally told the host we had a party of 4 and later messaged them back shortly before our trip and increased the number of people to 8.

Fully equipped home, convenient to campus. Near the School of Theology and the theater building. A nicely renovated, comfortable, welcoming home. Perfect for a gathering of family, or for a group of friends. We would definitely rent this home again.

Sunday School Class Get Away
Our stay was wonderful! We love this house. It is our second time there. Only comment is that the bed in the library-conservatory area on first floor forces you to the middle-there are some slopes in the mattress. Other than that-it was a great experience!
