We enjoyed our stay. The hostess was thoughtful and the property was beautiful, secluded and quiet. It was very spacious and comfortable. It was a bit further from the Covington that we expected, but overall a great experience.

Fantastic Property and Host
This was the perfect location for our family and pets. My pups loved the path around the pond. The property was lovely and peaceful. The home was spacious and clean, with all necessary amenities. The location was ideal for our travels to Covington, Mandeville, and New Orleans. Sandra is a wonderful host! We’d love to come back! Thank you so much for making our stay so memorable.

Nice house outside Covington
We had a very nice stay on this secluded property near Covington. The house was clean and nicely furnished. We only cooked breakfast each morning but the kitchen was we equipped. The property was a little further out from Covington than I envisioned but the location proved to be a good central location for north shore locations we needed to visit.
