Sleepy Lagoon Cottage - On 30 lush acres & just minutes from Downtown Covington!

Sleepy Lagoon is an incredibly picturesque, park-like property that offers 30 acres just minutes from shopping, dining, and outdoor activities in Downtown Covington. When you enter the gates of Sleepy Lagoon, driving up the long, azalea-lined driveway, past a barn, fenced paddock, and an expansive green space rife with oak, pine and magnolia trees, you immediately forget the busy streets you just left behind. Next, you pull up to a beautiful fountain in the center of the majestic koi pond that flows into the lagoon below from which the property gets its name. The lagoon is dotted with cypress trees and live oaks and winds throughout the property. Wooden bridges and lighted, elevated walkways along the water beckon guests to take a stroll around. At the end of the driveway sits The Cottage, welcoming you with its front porch swing and ceiling fans. Inside, you'll find a spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with a bonus space that sleeps two additional guests, that was completely renovated in April 2020. The Cottage offers all the amenities of home, from all necessary cookware, serving ware and appliances in the kitchen to extra linens and towels for each bedroom. The den and all three bedrooms feature wall mounted Smart TVs with high speed internet connection. A brand new washer and drier set can be found in the laundry area just beyond the breakfast table. The Cottage has a carport and ample space for extra parking. There is a charcoal bbq grill (charcoal and lighter fluid provided), as well as a large Blackstone griddle for you to enjoy. If you're wanting to explore even more of the grounds, you'll want to stroll to the back of the property, where you'll find the cliffs overlooking the Bogue Falaya River. A walkway allows you to travel down to the water where you can enjoy the feel of the white sandy beaches under your feet and the relaxing sounds of the babbling water in your ears. If you love to fish, be sure to bring your poles and bait so you can fish in our stocked ponds (catch and release only, please!) Sleepy Lagoon is a place like no other. We look forward to the opportunity to welcome you here!

*Please note, every booking at Sleepy Lagoon's Cottage includes $10k damage protection coverage, as well as $1M dwelling and liability coverage for the entire length of your stay. You will see this listed as a $38 "Administrative Fee" on your pricing.

*Please note: We use Minut at The Cottage to monitor noise decibels. The Minut device is located in the kitchen above the refrigerator. The device only monitors noise level. It does not record audio whatsoever. Please do not tamper with or remove/disable the device.

Relaxing and comfortable!

The place was cozy and relaxing in all ways. We especially thought the beds were super comfortable. Our most favorite part was being able to walk around the property to the little ponds and the beautiful, quiet creek. We’ll definitely stay here again!

Great place to get away with friends and family that is far enough away so you can just relax, but close enough to activities that they are a short drive away.

Just an overall amazing stay. We are very family oriented and this place accommodated what we were looking for. We played family games with cards in the cottage, we fished and also had a great time at the river! We would highly recommend this place!

Very quaint & relaxing

My husband and I had one day alone and 2 more days with adult children and grandkids. We enjoyed a walk around the grounds and had a ride to find some ancestors that were buried in the area. This location is close by our home so it was extremely nice not to have to make a long trip to get away.
