As of July 29, 2025, the Gardener’s Cottage — once the residence of John Huss, the original landscape and garden architect of Ventfort Hall — is back in the estate of Ventfort Hall.

This little Gardener’s Cottage has lived a private life beyond our gates since the 1940’s. But in June 2025, we were granted first right of refusal for its quiet, off-market sale. And we said yes— with full hearts, no budget, and soil-ready hands! The Gardener’s Cottage is currently envisioned as a short-term guest rental — one that supports its own care while welcoming visitors into the living roots of Ventfort Hall.

Rentals of the Gardener's Cottage are now available! In addition to Airbnb, the cottage is also listed on Zillow, Redfin, and Realtor.com.
