Cozy Covington Family House

Our family of 8 had a lovely experience at Carrie's home. Nice layout for a family and definitely enough space to feel comfortable throughout our stay. Carrie was very helpful.

Great house for our extended family

So thankful we found this house so our family could stay together for our little family reunion! The house was so perfect for us to comfortably spend time together in the common areas but also have our own space when needed (when some wanted to sleep in and others were up early)! The kitchen is spacious, well equipped and perfect for family meals. A huge bonus is the linens and towels were plush and great quality. Carrie was such a delight- very responsive and hospitable! We plan to come back here annually as we visit our grandparents nearby in Money Hill!

I booked both Whispering Oaks and the Barn for a place to stay for my daughter's Wedding in Abita Springs. This was a great location. The Bride/Bridesmaids got ready at Whispering Oaks, while the Groom/Groomsmen got ready at the Barn. Whispering Oaks has lots of space, comfortable bedrooms. The kitchen provided everything we needed. The artwork and furniture provided great settings for pictures. This location was 8 minutes away from our Wedding Venue. Carrie was prompt when we needed her to address an issue. I felt very blessed to have booked this house! It was so clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated.

Wonderful!

The property more than exceeded our expectations. The location was perfect, nestled around beautiful oak and pine trees, very peaceful and quiet. The house is beautifully furnished and well appointed and easily accommodated six adults with three large bathrooms. Landscaping, especially in the backyard made spring nights lovely to sit and chat with family. Fine dining and gourmet grocery stores are all within 10 minutes or less away. No need to venture into New Orleans to have an enjoyable and relaxing vacay. We highly recommend a stay here.
