Nestled on 3.5 acres in Hattiesburg, the Meador Homestead B&B boasts comfort, charm, and hospitality.
With two rooms, the dog-trot cabin was rather luxurious at the time of its construction. A large pass-through in the center of the cabin allowed for dogs to “trot” in and out – hence the name.
Though more than a century has passed, the cabin has remained virtually unchanged – aside from the addition of electricity, gas, heating, and AC, of course.
Able to accommodate up to four people, the two-room cabin features a bedroom, sitting parlor, and “glorified outhouse” with a huge shower and crystal chandelier.
Only adding to the cabin’s antiquated authenticity is the myriad of heirlooms that fill it. One of the most attention-getting is the rope bed, which pre-dates the cabin by nearly 30 years!
Over the years, the B&B grew to include another cabin, The Family Treehouse. Brimming with rustic charm and unique features, such as a copper bathtub, it’s just as appealing as the Meador Homestead.
