We enjoyed a nice weekend getaway at the cottage. The rooms were clean, spacious, and exactly as described. The private deck was a wonderful space to spend a bit of time in the mornings and evenings! The location made it easy to walk to places downtown, but the actual setting still felt quite private which was exactly what we wanted!

Liked: Communication, location
The property is well located in the Old Covington area and a quiet pleasant place to stay for a few days.However, the driveway to the unit was not mentioned in the listing and is a quasi-graveled / dirt road over exposed tree roots which make for an unpleasant daily arrival and departure.A few other items that need attention by the owner:1. The main bathroom shower does not drain well, or at all.2. The shower and faucet fixture handles come loose and fall off.3. The oven pans/trays were dirty.4. It would make a more pleasant property is the living room area had a few living room chairs.5. We had trouble opening and closing the lock box; suggest a new one is in order.

Louisiana getaway

Property was very clean and comfortable. Loved the location. Walkable to restaurants, shops and grocery. Host responded quickly when we discovered there was no toaster and dropped one off right away. We would stay here again next time we're in Covington.

Great Location

Our experience with this property was extremely positive. The furnishing were comfortable, lots of hot water and wonderful water pressure in the shower. Quiet location but in walking distance to most anything in the downtown part. Great restaurants and very nice shopping experiences. We look forward to a return.

Covington vrbo

Resident stay was clean & comfortable. It appeared to be a work in progress. Primary bed & bath were finished except for ceiling light & bathroom lighting. The smaller secondary bedroom was adequate & nice. Second bath was small, shower space small. Overall , a nice stay. Excellent location, walkable to numerous great restaurants & local attractions. Thumbs down on driveway entrance & parking.. We were requested to enter through a back driveway entrance. Narrow entry with overgrown shrubbery, & rutted drive. Parking area had large tree roots & overgrown shrubs. Driveway & & parking was on dirt, unpaved…no gravel or shells.
