About this property

Sleepy Lagoon Cottage - On 18 lush acres & just minutes from Downtown Covington!

Sleepy Lagoon is an incredibly picturesque, park-like property that offers 18 acres just minutes from shopping, dining, and outdoor activities in Downtown Covington. When you enter the gates of Sleepy Lagoon, driving up the long, azalea-lined driveway, past a barn, fenced paddock, and an expansive green space rife with oak, pine and magnolia trees, you immediately forget the busy streets you just left behind. Next, you pull up to a beautiful fountain in the center of the majestic koi pond that flows into the lagoon below from which the property gets its name. The lagoon is dotted with cypress trees and live oaks and winds throughout the property. Wooden bridges and lighted, elevated walkways along the water beckon guests to take a stroll around. At the end of the driveway sits The Cottage, welcoming you with its front porch swing and ceiling fans. Inside, you'll find a spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with a bonus space that sleeps two additional guests, that was completely renovated in April 2020. The Cottage offers all the amenities of home, from all necessary cookware, serving ware and appliances in the kitchen to extra linens and towels for each bedroom. The den and all three bedrooms feature wall mounted Smart TVs with high speed internet connection. A brand new washer and drier set can be found in the laundry area just beyond the breakfast table. The Cottage has a carport and ample space for extra parking. There is a charcoal bbq grill (charcoal and lighter fluid provided), as well as a large Blackstone griddle for you to enjoy. If you're wanting to explore even more of the grounds, you'll want to stroll to the back of the property, where you'll find the cliffs overlooking the Little Bogue Falaya River. A walkway allows you to travel down to the water where you can enjoy the feel of the white sandy beaches under your feet and the relaxing sounds of the babbling water in your ears. If you love to fish, be sure to bring your poles and bait so you can fish in our stocked ponds (catch and release only, please!) Sleepy Lagoon is a place like no other. We look forward to the opportunity to welcome you here!

*Please note, every booking at Sleepy Lagoon's Cottage includes $10k damage protection coverage, as well as $1M dwelling and liability coverage for the entire length of your stay. You will see this listed as a $38 "Administrative Fee" on your pricing.

*Please note: We use Minut at The Cottage to monitor noise decibels. The Minut device is located in the kitchen above the refrigerator. The device only monitors noise level. It does not record audio whatsoever. Please do not tamper with or remove/disable the device.

Amazing Rental
Stacey was an amazing hostess. Everything we could have possibly needed for our stay was there. Between the makeup wipes, the throw blankets, and the toiletries, everything was at our disposal. Easy access not only to the host but to the property. Stacey provided prompt responses to my questions and the property was awesome to walk. Overall, a great stay with a great hostess.

Hidden Gem
Great place to get away with friends and family that is far enough away so you can just relax, but close enough to activities that they are a short drive away.

Better than a hotel Stay
Retirement surprise party for a vice president and her family. All other hotels were booked. I reached out to Stacey and the rest is history! The property was amazing and way better in price than two hotel rooms. I have this host and property in my back pocket from now on.

About the host

Hosted by Stacey Rase

Host profile image
The property at Sleepy Lagoon has been in my family since 1996. My parents lived here and renovated the front two homes in the late 90s. Shortly thereafter, they built the Cottage on the property. After both of my parents passed and all four of our kids graduated high school, my husband Mike and I decided to move out to the land and renovate the homes, one by one, to be offered up as short term rentals. The Cottage is the first to come on board! We LOVE living at Sleepy Lagoon and we enjoy hosting guests from all over the country (and the world!) The 18 acres provides a quiet sanctuary from the "real world" but is just a short three mile drive to all necessary amenities. You'd be hard pressed to get us to return to suburban living!!

Why they chose this property

Sleepy Lagoon sits on 18 private acres. We are in a rural area but only a quick 5 minute drive to Downtown Covington!

What makes this property unique

The property itself is quite unique! There are spaces to relax, reflect, fish, swim in the river, eat outdoors...the possibilities are endless! Take a stroll around to enjoy the lagoons, ponds, fountains, raised walkways, seating areas, and riverfront.
