About the host
Hosted by Kathryn Kendrick
I live in Sewanee and graduated from the University here in 2009, so this mountain feels like home. I love hosting because it gives me a chance to share this special place with others—whether you’re here for a reunion, a quiet retreat, or a family getaway. I’ve thoughtfully designed the house with comfort and connection in mind, and I’m nearby if you need anything during your stay.
Why they chose this property
I chose this neighborhood because it’s close to everything I love about Sewanee—just a five-minute drive to campus, but tucked away enough to feel peaceful and private. The community here is warm and welcoming, and there’s a small-town charm that makes it feel like home. I love the trails, the local art and shops, the natural beauty all around, and the chance to catch a sunset at Morgan’s Steep. This place is full of people I admire—friends, mentors, and neighbors who make Sewanee truly special.
What makes this property unique
What makes this property unique is how thoughtfully it’s set up for groups—families, friends, or anyone gathering to enjoy time on the Mountain. There’s plenty of space to spread out, cozy places to reconnect, and fun details like a playroom for kids and a sunny reading nook. I’ve designed it with comfort, creativity, and connection in mind, drawing inspiration from Sewanee itself. It’s not just a place to stay—it’s a place to make memories.
