The host Sandra was very responsive throughout the process. The beds were very comfortable, with a clean kitchen and bathrooms. The check in and check out process was very simple. We would stay here again when we come back to Covington.
The kitchen was fully equipped for cooking. We had plenty of clean towels and wash clothes. The beds were comfortable. My older children loved the pool table. I LOVED the country atmosphere. I felt safe. The host, Sandra, is the best!
We were in town for a family wedding. The location was central to family events and the wedding venue. The beds were comfortable, the house well stocked, and the hostess was amazing! And her two goats entertained us. Definitely on our stay there again list.
This house was situated on a gorgeous little property. We greatly enjoyed getting to stay here and feed the fish/turtles.
Highly recommended if you want to get away from the city and just enjoy the quiet of nature!
This home is your home away from home. Clean, home with amazing amenities. The owner is so sweet and thoughtful. I had a wonderful time. Ill definitely be back during my next trip!
Great property and host! Very tranquil and private and super pet friendly! Sandra couldn’t have been more gracious and accommodating! I highly recommend this as a place to stay.
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.
Have rented this beautiful duplex before and already booked it again! Quite, peaceful, and comfortable.....and close to family....a beautiful, peaceful retreat!
