Inn Details



The Camellia House B&B is a gracious old "Raised Louisiana Cottage" located in the heart of Covington's downtown historic district. Step off our porch and walk the town, browse our wonderful shops and art galleries, dine at our fine restaurants, enjoy our many street fairs and festivals, walk or ride the Tammany Trace, and then - come home. Come home to swing on the porch, float in the POOL, sit fireside in the garden, relax in the outdoor HOT TUB, and then nestle into a luxurious bed.


Each suite is fully private and self contained and has its own PRIVATE ENTRANCE from one of our lovely porches. Each has PRIVATE BATH, WIRELESS INTERNET,cable tv, microwave, coffee service and fully stocked refrigerator. Continental 'plus' breakfast is setup in the privacy of you suite the evening before so that you may have breakfast at your leisure. Each suite is furnished with antiques and local architectural accent pieces. Our suites are extremely comfortable, have a wonderful historic eclectic flavor yet are thoroughly modern and are not fussy or overdone. We invite you to come and enjoy our B&B and experience a touch of southern "Covington" hospitality.
