“My husband and I stayed at the Covington Inn when we got married, and have been back two additional times in our two year marriage. The Covington Inn is quiet, quaint and has a lot of character! We love it! The atmosphere of Harriet Island, the Mississippi River and Downtown St. Paul helps to provide a unique and awesomely romantic get away! We highly recommend it!”

“We have stayed at the Covington Inn several times during all seasons. You can't find a more romantic and relaxing place to share a bottle of wine in front of the fire place surrounded by the lights of Saint Paul in the dead of winter.

The views of the skyline downtown St. Paul are amazing and yes Romantic.

“If you are looking for a romantic get away, look no further than the Covington Inn. The views of the Mississippi River and the Saint Paul skyline are breathtaking from the rooms and the large deck (there is a double chaise lounge that is perfect for enjoying a glass of wine while watching the sun set or staring up at the stars). The suites are cozy and each has a fireplace-a must when you are looking for romance. Trust me, you won't want to go home.”

“The Covington Inn B&B is the most unique place we have ever stayed. We decided to do a "staycation" rather than go out of state and our stay was awesome. We could stay on the boat or walk or drive to the city. We enjoyed a festival being held on the island where we were moored. The rooms are fantastic and comfortable. The breakfasts were excellent. The view of St. Paul was beautiful - especially at night. All aspects of the Covington Inn were top notch - service, cleanliness, condition, etc. I have recommended it to many of my friends. It is simply an all around great place to stay.”

“ttWords are not enough to describe the ease and tranquility of the atmosphere, rooms, owner and staff at the Covington Inn. We stayed in the Riverview Suite, which was amazing! It was spacious, charming and very comfortable. With a private sitting area affording a view of the river and downtown St. Paul, having our own little "parlor" area was a nice addition. In the evening, we enjoyed a picnic on the rooftop deck and watched the sunset and reflection of the city on the Mississippi. It was magical! The mornings breakfast was delicious! Decadent and memorable in a beautiful parlor setting. I can't recommend the Covington Inn highly enough. It allows you to feel as if you are alone in the city yet have it all at your fingertips.”
— Tracy Bench
“You will not be disappointed with the Covington Inn Bed and Breakfast. Once you step onto the boat, you are taken away with how welcome you feel.

I recommmend this inn to everyone!”
