Reviews
"Great location for an event. Very beautiful buildings."
"Stayed here in one of the dorms that have been converted into an Airbnb. It's a beautiful campus and great location!"
"Stayed with my daughter, we each had our own dorm room with the jack n jill bathroom connecting, we were looking for an apartment and it happened to be the cmafest weekend, luckily we found the scarrit. This is not a hotel and thats great, the grounds were nice, location perfect, quiet, peaceful. I'm sure its busier when Vanderbilt students return. I did find two lounges, one with sink, dish soap and tables so you could eat comfortably there. I will be staying there again bringing my husband when i come back into the city to visit , thank you for sharing this place with others"
"I have planned a coordinated multiple wedding ceremonies at Wightman Chapel at Scarritt Bennett. Not only is it stunning, but every ceremony runs so well because of the accommodations they provide. Small and large wedding parties are always comfortable in the rooms after taking photos on the stunning grounds. The staff makes it easy to understand their policies and allows each client to customize their ceremony however they would like. I always look forward to returning to Scarritt Bennett and working with them time and time again!"
"The Scarritt-Bennett Center is a treasure for those who want simplicity, nature, sacred surroundings and affordability. If you are looking for upscale accommodations, this is NOT the place for you. I stayed 5 nights at the location. During my stay i not only enjoyed walking around the beautiful grounds and learning about the rich history; but I also savored walking through the neighborhood and to downtown Nashville to some attractions and places to dine for my vegan appetite. (Yes, I could have taken an Uber to get to many places within 10-15 minutes, but I enjoy my walks). Scarritt-Bennett has a dining hall on campus with an excellent chef that prepared some vegan dishes that more than wowed. I had a couple meals on campus during my stay. And there were some events on the campus that I missed because I already had other plans. My stay was not only about affordability but about supporting an organization with faith and racial justice roots."
