You just need to do a little bit of planning, so you can create the perfect vacation in Covington.

The amber lights create a flattering glow that creates a calming, spa-like atmosphere and everyone loves scented candles. Also, get your household chores done ahead of time, so your home will feel spic and span, and you won’t spend your time worrying about the dishes.
But, if you want the true staycation experience, might we recommend checking into a local hotel?

And, each suite has its own special feature to the room, like an antique 19th century rib-cage shower. Twelve Oaks is the ultimate in staycation luxury, but you can also check out the local offerings on Air BnB. Choose a charming apartment on the Covington Square, or snag a room in a historic home!
