Perfect vacation spot in historic downtown Covington!

I absolutely loved my two week stay! The apartment had so much charm, and the renovation had all of the modern conveniences while keeping the character of this lovely home. The showers were fantastic and the beds were very comfortable.Julie and her husband were wonderful hosts; easy to contact and very flexible when weather impacted my arrival and departure. There are so many cute shops and restaurants within walking distance. I loved the independent bookstore on Lee Lane and Coffee Rani and New Orleans Seafood and Spirits were my favorites for lunch and dinner. It was fun to walk down to the river and enjoy the view. Spring was a lovely time to visit, and I hope to return again next year!

Lovely Property

Modern, spacious, safe upstairs apartment in a very quiet neighborhood. Lots of room to spread out. Ample parking for our two vehicles. Hosts were very responsive to our requests. Could use a few aesthetic improvements (lighting/utensils), but overall would not hesitate to stay here again.

The property was very well maintained. The house itself had a lovely charm and the neighborhood was beautiful. There were many options for excellent dining opportunities within a short walking distance. The property manager Jules was quick to respond to any inquiries and the add he posted for the location and amenities was spot on (no hidden surprises). I would definitely recommend this property if you’re looking for a quiet, clean and family friendly location. We were able to visit New Orleans without having to worry about safe accommodations by staying at this property and we had a wonderful family vacation. 5 stars!!

Spacious Attic Apartment in Classic Covington Historic Home

This upstairs apartment in a classic Covington historic home is spacious and airy, super comfortable and homey. House is older, but interior is modern and up to date, and the hosts have set it up with so many thoughtful details and supplies to make it feel like a home away from home. The location is great - right in downtown Covington and Lee Lane shops and cafes, but a cozy and quiet location that's a very short walk the river at Columbia St. Landing and Bogue Falaya Park. Bedrooms feel comfortable with really nicely done private bathrooms, and it's very quiet at night. The kitchenette is perfect for a quick breakfast or simple meal, and they've very thoughtfully stocked it with everything you might need. A lovely place to stay - highly recommended!
