Your Property:
We want you to enjoy your stay just as much as you do. Help us ensure you are booking the right fit for your needs by reading this listing fully before booking.

Our twin studio is located in one of the old dorm buildings of what was once Scarritt Bennett College for Christian Workers, then later Scarritt Graduate School (more history about the campus below). The studio is a modest 150 sq ft, with a bathroom that has a private tub/shower combo. Expect a room without frills but on a campus akin to a European monastery or dare we say, Hogwarts!

The room has a twin sized bed plus a desk and chair. You will comfortably sleep 1 person in the room. The studio is equipped with ONE TV with streaming capabilities, ONE mini-fridge with a freezer, ONE microwave, and lastly ONE dual drip coffee maker + keurig.

NOTE ABOUT TEMPERATURE: This campus and building is very historic. In the cooler months, the building runs on heat only. In the warmer months, the building runs on air conditioning only. Since the entire building runs on the same temperature, the individual room temp cannot be changed inside the room.

If booking here, keep in mind it's not the room that you're booking the space for, it's the location and the beautiful campus. We encourage our guests to explore! Check out the architecture, the archways, there's even a labyrinth.

--History about Scarritt Bennett!--

Scarritt Bennett Center is a nonprofit conference, retreat, and transformative education center. It's history dates back to the late 19th century when it was first established as the Scarritt College for Christian Workers. The college sought to train young women missionaries in a time when women were still prohibited from many forms of leadership. The college eventually became co-ed, and in 1952 it became one of the first white, private colleges in the state of Tennessee to integrate. Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. famously visited the college and preached in its historic Wightman Chapel on April 25, 1957. Scarritt College operated from 1892 up until 1988 when it became the home of the now nonprofit organization, Scarritt Bennett Center.

Today, Scarritt Bennett Center's mission is “to create space where individuals and groups engage each other to achieve a more just world.” The center is property of the Women's Division of the United Methodist Church. Expect to see the United Methodist Women on campus throughout the year for board meetings, chapter workshops, and retreats. The campus also regularly hosts conferences, private events, weddings, and elopements.

Scarritt Bennett Center offers a variety of programming across the year that are free and open to the public, including poetry readings, live jazz music, chapel services, and more. Guests staying on campus are encouraged to participate in all that the campus has to offer - after you have booked, please inquire for more info about these campus activities.
