About this house rental
The Hardaway Cottage is a 1933 Georgian style home that was built on the grounds of the historic Roosevelt Warm Springs campus as a vacation home by Mrs. Rebecca Hardaway.
This fascinating home retains its Art Deco cool vibe while allowing guests to enjoy the beauty of a private setting surrounded by the Georgia State Park system. The spectacular views can be a place to relax on the front porch, grill out back, or unwind with a good book. Spend time cooking, entertaining, or soaking up the amazing history of the area. Often you will spot deer, coyote, chimney swifts, or more.
The house has a living room with fireplace, dining room, eat-in kitchen, three bathrooms and four bedrooms. The main bedroom with a King size bed is on the main floor. The other three bedrooms are upstairs. There is a sun porch/solarium with the most beautiful windows that adjust for any amount of light or breeze. The beautiful open porch across the front of the home can accommodate up to fifty guests. The master suite and bathroom on the main level of the home is handicapped accessible. The main level of the home is ADA compliant with wheelchair access to the parking area front and side porches and all rooms on the first floor. The home sleeps 8/10 guests.
This home is unique in so many ways. The history begins with Rebecca Hardaway who represents the industrial revolution. Her husband had founded the Hardaway Construction Company. After Benjamin Hardaway died Rebecca sold original Coca Cola stock to realize her dream of investing in a dual purpose home in Warm Springs. She already knew and love the area, and in creating the Hardaway Cottage hoped to accommodate both vacationers and people seeking treatment at the newly founded treatment center. Some key features that Rebecca designed are the beautiful marble fireplace, the 1930s tile bathrooms on the second floor of the home, and the rope-pulled elevator. The elevator is available for viewing as part of a tour of the home, but is not for use by guests.
After the death of Rebecca the home was purchased by the Charles Glenn family. Ms. Glenn had disabling arthritis and Alexander Glenn had polio. Both benefited from the homes innovative design for the use by people with disabilities. Clearly, the family was taking advantage of the treatment available for Alex at the historic polio treatment center. During WWII Dr. Charles Glenn commuted between Warm Springs GA and Oak Ridge TN the secret city where the Atom bomb was developed. The house was home to three daughters in addition to the baby of the family Alex. During WWII the two oldest sisters resided in the home with their "war babies" so the house was full of life and hope during this time.
** The Hardaway has a security camera on the garage that makes activity in the back parking lot visible.

We visited to tour Callaway and The Biblical History Center and the house was an extra bonus. The homeowners offered a tour of the home. Staying in the home is like staying in a history museum! Well Done.

While this majestic home sits with so much rich history one could be taken back in time to imagine the dinners with FDR and the laughter and fun times. Unfortunately this home is in need of some TLC. While these things didn’t keep us from enjoying our stay. Some basic repairs (replace broken window panes, mildew removal on porch furniture and outside of house)would only enhance the beauty of this home.

We were in Warm Springs for a small family event, with family and friends coming into town from the Midwest and from the coast. The Hardaway Cottage was perfect for us!

Driving up the long drive and seeing this stately house materialize out of the trees is a spectacular first impression. The location is lovely and secluded. Our kids and dog loved exploring and playing in the woods for hours. The house was incredibly roomy and comfortable. Both classically grand and yet homey, we felt very cozy here. The kitchen was well stocked, and the beds were comfy. The kids loved having their own rooms with their own bathrooms, too. They did not want to leave. The history of the place left us constantly in a state of awed reverence -- what stories those very walls and floorboards could tell. A visit to The Little White House just up the road is highly recommended. A wonderful stay, indeed. We would absolutely be happy with a return visit.
