I booked this for my daughter and my new son-in-law for their mini Honeymoon.Her wedding was in Abita and we used the large house Whispering Oaks for the day of getting ready for the wedding. The out of town Bridal Party guest stayed in the Main house. The Barn was suitable for the groom and groomsmen to get ready while waiting to do pictures.

We loved our stay at this adorable VRBO in Covington, LA! It was cute, clean, and very roomy. Perfect for our family. The location was ideal, centrally located to everything — Abita Springs, Mandeville and downtown Covington. You can tell the owners put a lot of heart and hard work into making this place special.The beds were super comfortable and our two kids loved having both the sleeper sofa and futon! The bathrooms were clean and spacious, and the half bath downstairs was a great bonus. The owner was wonderful to communicate with both friendly and responsive.We’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!
