Hyppige gjester roser den avslappende atmosfæren og den raske kommunikasjonen fra vertene. Rapporterte ulemper inkluderer ustabilt Wi-Fi og begrensede streaming-/TV-alternativer, en boblebad som tidvis ikke var oppvarmet, sporadisk ubehag i sengen eller mugglukt i gjestehuset, og begrenset gangavstand med en innkjørsel som kan være vanskelig å finne. Forvent et avslappet, selvhusholdnings opphold.

This property was perfect for our family of 9 - 6 adults and 3 children. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the pool and the fishing pond. With the weather being a very hot July, the guest house and main house were cool and very comfortable. Cooking and serving meals in the kitchen worked very well with enough room for all. We also used the outside grill. The grounds were very spacious and accommodated various activities.

This was an amazing trip and stay. We enjoyed walking the grounds to discover hidden treasures in the gardens. Having the house and pool to ourselves was fantastic and a great way to relax and reconnect the family. There was an oven issue but Chris was on top of it and communicate well to accommodate me for it. Highly recommend!!

Country living at its finest!! The pictures online are accurate and not retouched. The kitchen was stocked better than my own. The pool area was fantastic. The pond provided hours of fishing and kayaking entertainment. The outdoor kitchen was terrific. Teens and adults all enjoyed the weekend retreat and hopefully we'll be able to enjoy the property again. One grandson said it was the best vacation of his life!! Location is great as well - right here in Louisiana.

The property was gorgeous! We felt like we were in our own private park. You could hear a few vehicles out on the highway, but you could not see them. It was great to have the 5 bedrooms with a bathroom for each, plus the half baths out by the pool.

Beautiful property, spacious with plenty of room for our friend group of seven. There are three rooms in main house and two rooms in second house across a small courtyard. Very easy to come and go to both houses. Main house has a very nice sun room which was great and spacious for all of us. Pool was well maintained with numerous lounge chairs. AC went out during our second day and despite being a Friday evening, the owner was quick to respond and had service provider on site within 30 minutes. We fully enjoyed our stay and hope to return in the future.

Beautiful property and house. Fishing pond was great. Wish the weather was nicer to use the pool. House very well stocked with supplies. Hosts are very responsive. Only complaint of the stay was the driveway was hard to find at first. GPS doesn't have it pinned correctly. Hope to return in the furture!

The grounds of this property are beautiful which made it a great short visit. The online description is misleading as it does not state the number of bedrooms in each house. It said five bedrooms and I thought they were all in one house so it caused a bit of a sleeping dilemma with children being in a separate area. The second house is very very musty. It was not noted that the hot tub would not be working.

Anmeldelser beskriver vanligvis hovedhuset som rent og godt vedlikeholdt. Et par påpeker problemer som mugglukt i gjestehuset og noen slitte eller skitne tepper.

The grounds were beautiful, and the home was nice especially for how old it is. All of the amenities you need were there and provided for you. The owner was easy to get in touch with. The beds were a little uncomfortable and the rugs were a little dirty from so many visitors. I would definitely get rid of the rugs and show the beautiful floors. We had a restful stay and would give the house an overall 4.7 because of the beds and rugs.

We were very pleased with our accommodations. The house was pleasant, clean, spacious, comfortable, and nicely kept. Beds were clean and very comfortable, and the kitchen was fully stocked with all we needed and much more. The playground for the kiddos was a plus and kept them very busy and the solarium was our go to place every day. We will be staying there again.

We stayed at the Secret Garden with several family members to celebrate Thanksgiving. The grounds are amazing and I wish we had spent more time on them. But the inside of the main house was fantastic for cooking a big meal and a large family gathering to eat it. Everyone loved the place and it was easy to relax there. The driveway turn is a little hard to spot but once you know it is there we didn't have problems afterwards. There isn't really anything walking distance but there is a large grocery store just a 5 minute drive away and lots of places to eat and get stuff along the main road (routine 190) close by. We appreciated that each bedroom has its own bathroom. All the spaces were clean and well supplied. Definitely recommend it for families and we'd happily stay there again.

Rom
Romslig layout med et hovedhus og et separat gjestehus, med flere soverom og private bad, pluss et lyst sunroom; godt egnet for grupper. Noen gjester nevner ustabilt Wi-Fi og begrensede streaming-/TV-alternativer, sporadisk ubehag i sengen og varmere rom i andre etasje/gjestehuset om sommeren.

Parents, grandparents and great grandma stayed in main house. Bride and bridesmaids stayed in the guest house. This set up was perfect and exactly what we needed. The sun room served as the make up/hair room and then all pics were take in there as well. I highly recommend. The grounds were beautiful— we were planning on a lot of outdoor pics but weather did not cooperate.

9 women in town to play a tennis tournament; great accommodations on large property; enjoyed the pool; plenty of beds and bathrooms; kitchen well-stocked; had everything we needed (but bring your own bath soap). Internet was slow, never could load tv, property is surrounded by lots of trees, so....Other than that, no problems! Would stay there again for sure.

As a frequent vrbo renter i'd have to say this place was very overrated and very overpriced for what you get. From the pictures everything looked great, but there were quite a few downfalls. No smart tvs in any room besides the main bedroom. So you're forced to watch cable, which in 2025 is not the norm. The wifi was constantly dropping signal, so for the remote work we do it was not ideal. Almost all of the beds were extremely cheap and uncomfortable, to the point you felt springs poking into you from the bed all night long. The main sitting room/sunroom (there's no actual living room) gets no wifi at all so you're forced to watch cable (with limited channels) on a 20 inch tv screen from 15 feet away. One of the bedrooms is upstairs and it's VERY hot up there in the summer with only one AC unit. The "guesthouse" does not have central AC, so it's very warm as well in the summer. The owners were very nice, the pool was nice. The historical part of it was cool and the sunroom was pretty, but overall if you're charging this much for the amenities- the property should be top notch and this is far from it.

We booked this beautiful place for a much needed family getaway! As with everything you book online you never know what to really expect when you get there. The secret garden not only did not disappoint but it was much more than we could have hoped for. Secluded but close enough to anything you need, it’s a small piece of Paradise where you can relax, enjoy beautifully taken care of gardens, with lakes and a gorgeous swimming pool. The house accommodates many people with plenty of space and beautiful rooms with light and anything you might need. Every room has it’s own bathroom which is very convenient.

The secret garden not only did not disappoint but it was much more than we could have hoped for. Secluded but close enough to anything you need, it’s a small piece of Paradise where you can relax, enjoy beautifully taken care of gardens, with lakes and a gorgeous swimming pool. The house accommodates many people with plenty of space and beautiful rooms with light and anything you might need. Every room has it’s own bathroom which is very convenient.

Everything was as advertised. We had some concerns with the gas range but I was told they would fix it after we left, I hope they did!

We stayed over Christmas and overall things were okay. Unfortunately the hot water faucet in the sink in the bathroom loft didn’t work. The hosts said they’d call a plumber to get it fixed but no plumber showed up. And the washer wasn’t working which caused a problem because some of us were on a three week trip and needed to do laundry. So we ended up going to a laundry mat on Christmas Eve. We also had the misfortune of having freezing temps while we were there so the pipes started freezing which left us without water for awhile one morning (NOT the hosts fault). We had to leave the water trickling most of the time. The grounds were nice and had the weather been warmer we could have really enjoyed that. The grounds are definitely the attraction for this property.

Beliggenhet
Beliggenheten føles avsidesliggende og fredelig, men ligger en kort kjøretur fra sentrum av Covington og butikker; det er ikke mye innen gangavstand. Noen nevner trafikkstøy og en innkjørsel som kan være vanskelig å få øye på eller feilplassert på GPS.

This is a beautiful property. We loved the sitting room with all the windows. Would definitely recommend to others. Very close to everything downtown. Thank you Diane Ratley

Had a great stay at the Secret Garden. Fulfilled all of our needs for 6 seniors. Covington is a very nice town. Felt quite safe shopping there and staying at the Secret Garden. We attended Jazzfest in NOLA. It is a fair distance to drive, but for us it was well worth it to come back to some tranquility at the Secret Garden. Highly recommended accomodation!

Country living at its finest!! The pictures online are accurate and not retouched. The kitchen was stocked better than my own. The pool area was fantastic. The pond provided hours of fishing and kayaking entertainment. The outdoor kitchen was terrific. Teens and adults all enjoyed the weekend retreat and hopefully we'll be able to enjoy the property again. One grandson said it was the best vacation of his life!! Location is great as well - right here in Louisiana.

The property was gorgeous! We felt like we were in our own private park. You could hear a few vehicles out on the highway, but you could not see them. It was great to have the 5 bedrooms with a bathroom for each, plus the half baths out by the pool.

We stayed at the Secret Garden with several family members to celebrate Thanksgiving. The grounds are amazing and I wish we had spent more time on them. But the inside of the main house was fantastic for cooking a big meal and a large family gathering to eat it. Everyone loved the place and it was easy to relax there. The driveway turn is a little hard to spot but once you know it is there we didn't have problems afterwards. There isn't really anything walking distance but there is a large grocery store just a 5 minute drive away and lots of places to eat and get stuff along the main road (routine 190) close by. We appreciated that each bedroom has its own bathroom. All the spaces were clean and well supplied. Definitely recommend it for families and we'd happily stay there again.

Beautiful property and house. Fishing pond was great. Wish the weather was nicer to use the pool. House very well stocked with supplies. Hosts are very responsive. Only complaint of the stay was the driveway was hard to find at first. GPS doesn't have it pinned correctly. Hope to return in the furture!

Servering
Selvhusholdning er et sterkt punkt: kjøkken blir gjentatte ganger beskrevet som godt utstyrt og egnet for å lage store måltider; grilling og et utekjøkken ble brukt av noen. Noen rapporterte sporadiske problemer med komfyren.

This property was perfect for our family of 9 - 6 adults and 3 children. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the pool and the fishing pond. With the weather being a very hot July, the guest house and main house were cool and very comfortable. Cooking and serving meals in the kitchen worked very well with enough room for all. We also used the outside grill. The grounds were very spacious and accommodated various activities.

We were very pleased with our accommodations. The house was pleasant, clean, spacious, comfortable, and nicely kept. Beds were clean and very comfortable, and the kitchen was fully stocked with all we needed and much more. The playground for the kiddos was a plus and kept them very busy and the solarium was our go to place every day. We will be staying there again.

9 women in town to play a tennis tournament; great accommodations on large property; enjoyed the pool; plenty of beds and bathrooms; kitchen well-stocked; had everything we needed (but bring your own bath soap). Internet was slow, never could load tv, property is surrounded by lots of trees, so....Other than that, no problems! Would stay there again for sure.
