read more about the family

Forty-odd years ago, this was Sanders Cattle Company. Today, it's the Sander’s Cottage Collection.

In 1972, Eugene Sanders bought this stretch of Mississippi land and started The Sanders Cattle Company on it. Generations of the family worked it, branding, hauling, hand-raising calves, watching sunsets from the barn that’s no longer with us.

the story of the sanders cottage collection

Same ground. New chapter. 

SEE ALL COTTAGES

Football weekends, graduation, weddings at A Barn Venue down the road, family reunions, weekend escapes & work trips.

Built for any kind of trip

The Sanders family lives on the property. If something's not right, we’re on it.

A family on the place 

Strong enough to work from the porch, stream a game, or hop on a video call.

Fiber Optic WiFi everywhere 

Every cottage has its own outdoor space. Porches, seating, cornhole boards, and grass under your feet.

A yard of your own 

Pine trees, open pasture, and the kind of night sky you forget exists when you live in a city. 

Nineteen acres of quiet 

Mississippi State, the Cotton District, downtown Starkville. All close by, but you'd never know it.

Seven minutes to everything 

The good stuff, simply put.
