About this property

The historic Art Deco Hardaway Cottage can host your special event or vacation.



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.

A diamond in the rough

What a treat it was to stay in this beautiful, historical home! It was a perfect location for our trip to Callaway Gardens and Pine Mountain.. We had a fully stocked kitchen that was a great asset for preparing our Thanksgiving meal. We hope to return!

Hidden gem close to town

Beautiful property. Has a very historic feel with updates to make your stay comfortable. We loved that the town of warm springs was just down the hill but it felt secluded. We went to enjoy the fantasy of lights at Callaway gardens. Callaway gardens is about 25 minutes away. Nice scenic drive along the way.

Step back in time

Beautiful historic home. Hosts were very attentive and informative about the history of the house. Location was perfect. Close to town, but in the woods. Many original features (so remember it’s an older home). Loved sitting on the sun porch in the mornings and on the front porch in the evenings. Even saw a few deer. Plenty of room and comfortable beds.

Family getaway

Has been a lovely home but needs some maintenance. This did not bother us as we had a lovely time in this spacious home. The rooms, baths and total layout was great for our family. Visited the Little White House, Callaway Gardens and Hills and Dale home and gardens in Lagrange. Good time by all.

Historical charm with plenty of room

Our family stayed here over Thanksgiving and loved that we had plenty of room for everyone while also getting to stay in a historical house with an interesting history. It was quiet and peaceful and we enjoyed visiting the local sights and town. Being wheelchair accessible was a must for our family and it was amazing to find a house like this that fit the bill. I’d highly recommend for family gatherings.

Family Christmas trip

I booked this house for our annual Christmas trip( we go somewhere different every year) This house was perfect for a big family. The front porch, and sunroom was amazing! Also one room was called the cousins room and it slept all 5 together! The kitchen was big enough to sit around the table drinking our coffee and enjoying the company! I would certainly stay again!

A beautiful step back in time.

The Hardaway Cottage is a grand location. Plenty of room to accomodate many people comfortably. Although this is an older house that is under renovations, the living areas are completed. The owner keeps the place very clean and all of the ammeneties work. The surroundings are peaceful and quiet....we even had a deer come to visit. THe owner was very responsive to our questions and also respectful of our privacy. We will stay here again.

Amazing Warm Springs Getaway

Beautiful historic home on secluded property, but you could literally walk several hundred yards through the woods to the Little White House. We loved that the owners made modern upgrades yet kept the 1930s feel of the house with vintage furniture and decorations. The house was very clean, well-appointed, and had more than enough room for 4 adults. The owners were also amazing and always responded very quickly to questions and text messages. Beth offered to give us an official tour history of the home, but unfortunately we didn’t have time during our stay. We hope to come back next summer, so would love to do the tour then!

Looks just like the pictures

The house looks just like the pictures. We had our mothers 90th birthday there and our family had a wonderful time. We cooked meals in the kitchen and had everything we needed. The house was decorated for Christmas. I will say if you are interested in doing any tv watching, or are technically challenged when it comes to tv options; this may be an issue. Additionally there are not tvs in any of the bedrooms if this is important to you. The owners are very responsive to messages and questions.

Historic and Beautiful

We had 9 family members ranging in age from 14-79 years old staying at Hardaway Cottage for 7 nights. The house has been beautifully restored and is furnished in lovely antiques and decorations from the early 1900’s. Additionally, the owner has highlighted the house’s history during the polio epidemic and F.D. Roosevelt’s presidency. The house is surrounded by woods but in the city limits of Warm Springs, so very peaceful and convenient! The house is within walking distance of The Little White House, the Warm Springs polio rehabilitation pools, the quaint downtown of Warm Springs and F.D. Roosevelt State Park and within a 15 minute drive to an Ingles grocery. Additionally, there were several beautiful waterfalls and hiking trails near the house in the state park. The house easily accommodated this large number of people and we did not feel crowded at all. The rooms were quite soundproof, there was plenty of hot water for everyone and the beds were comfy. Callaway Gardens and the Hills and Dales Estate were within a 15-30 minute drive and well worth the visit. Additionally, there were several private breweries and wineries (loved the Warm Springs winery, Nutwood winery and Wild Leap Brewery) in the area that we enjoyed as well as the Animal Safari Park drive through zoo. Our favorite place to eat was Chad’s-definitely buy a cake there! The Bulloch House was also a delicious buffet with typical Southern dishes-try the fried green tomatoes and catfish! Highly recommend!!
