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.

    All I can say is that as soon as we walked in it was like walking into my home. Everything was clean. It felt very welcoming. Making memories as my son got married in Sewanee and having friends staying with us and catching up was very pleasant. Thank you for hosting us and we will be back back for sure. Very accomidating to eveyrhing. Absolutely beautiful.

    We enjoyed our stay. There was some renovation outside (painting) taking place so out back we could not enjoy but over all great house. There is not a full bath downstairs with bedroom/ only a half bath which could be a problem for someone who can’t do steps. I missed that in the description even if it was clear.

    It’s a stunning house in a great central location on campus! Everything is new and updated bedroom and bathroom wise which makes for a very comfortable space. We were warned about the construction work outside the house the day before we arrived. It was slightly more intrusive than we imagined, as they had to paint the doors inside the house while we were getting ready for dinner. Otherwise, they were gone the day of the actual 4th - the house is beautiful and we loved the nice bedrooms and living space — thanks so much!

    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.

    ..., Very convenient to campus (especially School of Theology). We had a very minor issue that was immediatly rectified by the host--very responsive. Thanks! It was perfect for our weekend stay for a reunion among friends.

    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.
