Casa Verde Guesthouse – A Peaceful Garden Retreat Near Downtown Covington
Escape to Casa Verde, a charming guesthouse set on a beautiful property in picturesque Covington. Surrounded by Palm Trees, Towering Bamboo and Gardens. Casa Verde is just 2 minutes from Historic Downtown Covington, this peaceful retreat offers the perfect blend of relaxation, comfort, and convenience.

And, since we are only 45 minutes from New Orleans, it is easily a day trip away from all the excitement and history that NOLA offers.

YOUR HOSTS:
My husband Pat and I are natives of New Orleans, but spent nearly 20 years living along Lake Erie near Cleveland before returning to Louisiana in 2020 and settling in Covington.
While we’ll always love New Orleans, we truly enjoy the quieter pace of the Northshore. The city is only about a 45-minute drive away, and we still enjoy visiting whenever we can.
We love maintaining the gardens and vibe of our little oasis... truly a magical place for us and our guests.
We live in the main house on the property with our friendly elderly dog ~ Stella. The guesthouse and pool area are set apart to provide guests with plenty of privacy, while we remain nearby if you need anything during your stay.
We’re always happy to share recommendations for local restaurants, attractions, and things to do while you’re visiting Covington and the Northshore. Airport Transportation: Transportation:
We are often available to provide Airport Transportation at $100 each way. Prices fluctuate during peak times, so Uber and Lyft prices may be more or slightly less.

The property is a beautiful, secluded, and serene surroundings. Amenities and supplies were generous and check in/out routine was a breeze! Lots of on-site activities and games, the gym was awesome! Owners were super friendly, helpful and responsive, despite being on their own vacation. We highly recommend!

Casa Verde was an inviting retreat. The home was clean and well stocked. Patty had turned on the AC prior to our arrival which made it very comfortable. She provided pool towels, sun tan lotion, food in fridge, and a little welcome sign. She and her husband were welcoming, easy to talk to, and quick to respond to texts. The pool was a great place to cool off from the Louisiana heat! I definitely recommend Casa Verde!

Definitely recommend staying here. Perfect location with easy access to both downtown Covington, and Abita Springs area. Wonderful and extremely peaceful cottage situated at the end of dead-end street and located roughly 100 feet from the owner's main home. The host-maintained frequent contact from our first contact until our departure from their wonderful home. The cottage was very clean and tidy with plenty of guest towels (very soft too) stocked in both bathrooms. The cottage has 3 bedrooms, with a bonus daybed in the upstairs area which provides for plenty of room for several couples or families to have room without being in each other's space. The cottage has a large downstairs workout room which provides one access to dumbbells, resistance bands and machines if you are looking for a place which allows you both a comfortable stay and continue working out. The pool is located right outside the workout room and gets plenty of sun during the day and has lots of chairs along with loungers surrounding the pool. The home is only minutes from downtown Covington boutique shopping area, as well as at the St. Tammany bike trail.
