The Hadden Cottage, built in the 1850s, started life as a vacation rental and was then used to house retreat guests. The original structure was only slightly elevated above grade, so it was completely devastated during Hurricane Katrina. As part of the master plan, the cottage was moved to the center of the property, between the Frapart Hotel and Sophie Cottage and elevated to meet their height. Jill and Barrett scoured the property and neighboring woods, finding original shutters and wood flooring that were lost to Hurricane Katrina.
The exterior and interior of the cottage were carefully restored to their original form, salvaging doors, windows, shutters, and flooring. Walter Anderson prints hang on the wall and guests are treated to a private dining experience. The dining room can hold ~35 people and there is a private unisex bathroom behind the dining room.
This quaint cottage is perfectly designed to host your intimate party or work gathering.
