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.

Perfect place for a couple night campus visit with our high school junior. Plenty of room and fantastic location to walk around campus. Downtime with coffee on the back deck listening to birds. Easy check in and out. Would love to come back.
The home was beautiful and clean. We felt like we were definitely on a vacation in this beautiful home in a wonderful location in Sewanee. We would love to stay there again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home. Provided the perfect location for visit with our Sewanee student. Hosted in-laws and our adult children with plenty of room. We will definitely start our search here when looking for on campus home at Sewanee. Can’t wait to get back.

We had an amazing stay at this fabulous house- couldn’t have asked for more. The owners were very responsive and easy when I had a quick question before we arrived. Would love to stay there again!!
Incredible property, gorgeous layout in an equally gorgeous setting. Essentially on-campus and walking distance to everything. Loved our stay there so much. Thanks Ted
What a beautiful home in a great location. Very well decorated and well maintained. Lots of activities close by in a quiet area. We thoroughly enjoyed it! The host was a good communicator and made it easy.
Our stay was absolutely perfect! We had six family members for our son’s wedding at All Saints. The house was well stocked and very comfortable. I highly recommend this home!
Our family of 7 (including grandparents) had a wonderful stay making memories on the mountain while visiting our daughter who plays lacrosse. The house was the perfect size for our group. The proximity to campus & The Pitt couldn’t be beat. We will definitely stay again if available!
The home was very nice and walking distance to the main part of campus and several hikes. The owner was very easy to get in touch with! Highly recommend!
This beautiful home was in a perfect location and had everything we could need or want. Check-in and out was a breeze. Edward had provided all instructions well in advance of our trip. Thank you for sharing your home with us!
Thank you for a lovely visit to this Sewanee home! Location is ideal- east walk to everything on campus. Perfect set up for some friends to come by to help celebrate our daughter’s birthday.
