Our Story

A house with
a history worth
discovering

deRosset House has stood on Tennessee Avenue for generations, witnessing the quiet rhythms of Sewanee life — the footsteps of scholars, the laughter of visitors, the turning of seasons across the Cumberland Plateau.

We've preserved what matters: the high ceilings, the southern light, the sense of arriving somewhere meaningful. Modern amenities live quietly beneath the surface, so nothing distracts from what truly matters — your comfort, your peace, your stay.
