The Space
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 queen 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 queen sized bed plus a desk and chair. You will comfortably sleep no more than 2 people total 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.
In the cool months we provide heat only. In the warmer months we provide air conditioning only
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.
Key House Rules:
• No alcohol
• No smoking
• No pets
• No parties
So what is Scarritt Bennett Center?
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.
Campus Activities
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. Find a listing of their upcoming programs at https://scarrittbennett.org/.
Guest Access
You will have full access to your suite as well as access to the dorm building and permission to explore the campus. The dorm building is of course shared with other guests so you may pass each other in the halls. Masks and social distancing is required.
There is free parking onsite, 1 car allotted per suite reserved and a pass will be required. Additional street parking can be found off campus.
Interaction with Guests
The rentals are managed by UrbanNashville Vacation Rentals. We're a small and local business that strives to make your trip to Nashville great. We let our guests have their space but if needed will be around to help. If you have any questions, concerns, or anything to share during your stay, our team will be available for you.
The Neighborhood
The condo is located in the Music Row/Midtown area. Walk to local hotspots such as Edgehill or the Demonbreun and Midtown bar strips.
There are a number of tasty local restaurants and a few fun bars nearby such as Barcelona (Wine and Tapas Bar), Old Glory, Jack Brown's Beer & Burger Joint, Tailgate, Bella Napoli, OSA Coffee Roasters, Live Oak, 8th and Roast, and more.
The infamous Honky Tonk Row is about 2 miles away. It's typically a 9 minute or less Lyft ride to downtown or if you're up for it, an extended walk (about 40 minutes).
The suite is also close to Belmont University and touches Vanderbilt University campus, both well-known neighborhoods with shopping, restaurants, and bars! 12South, The Gulch, Germantown, East Nashville, Green Hills...all are less than 15 minutes away! The suites are truly in a central location to all things Nashville.
Getting Around
ON FOOT
There are great local eateries, cafes, and bars nearby worth exploring within a 10-minute walk!
RIDESHARE
There are rideshares all over the city from Uber, Lyft, and even Earth Rides (Tesla cars only). They are easy to call anytime day or night. Pro traveler tip: download all apps to your phone so you can compare prices and get the cheapest option!
TAXIS
See the ride share option above, taxis are available however few and far between and can be quite pricey in Nashville. There are so many taxi companies that we really cannot recommend any one over another, and we encourage you to investigate rates and reviews to find one that suits your needs.
MTA BUSES
The MTA (Metro Transit Authority) Buses run all over Metro Nashville and even some surrounding counties. Very reasonable fares and a wide range of routes make the bus a cheap and easily navigable choice for visitors.
NASHVILLE B-CYCLE
Nashville's bicycle sharing program has been a huge success with locals and tourists. Simply walk up to any Nashville B-Cycle station, swipe your credit card, and pick out your red bike! The closest B-Cycle station to the will be in 12South (about a 20 minute walk away).
