Move-In, Homecoming & Every Carson-Newman Weekend on the Calendar

The Executive Apartment A living space at Cedar Pond Farms, a quiet base for Carson-Newman campus weekends

A college family's calendar is a loop of Jefferson City weekends: August move-in, fall Homecoming, winter games, spring banquets, May move-out. Four-plus years of the same question — where do we stay this time? — deserves a standing answer.

Move-in day, minus the motel

Arrive the night before, minutes from campus, and start early with real coffee from your own kitchen. When the dorm is finally arranged and everyone is hot and sentimental, the farm porch and the pond are waiting — a far better place for the drive-away feelings than a parking lot goodbye.

Homecoming, done right

The Eagles' biggest home Saturday deserves more than a bed: bring the alumni crew, take a whole B suite or building, grill after the game, and let the group photo have Highland cattle in the background instead of an ice machine.

The repeat-guest advantage

Families who stay with us once tend to book the year's remaining weekends before checkout — same unit, same porch, the farm already knowing how they take their arrivals. Booked direct, every stay is dressed: Cedar Pond robes, Gelato Brothers gelato in the freezer, fresh flowers from our beds.

And always, the cows

Whatever brings you to campus, leave two hours for the Premium Highland Cow Experience — in the field with our Scottish Highland herd, the farm's signature and your student's favorite off-campus flex. See every stay and put the whole school year on our calendar.
