About the host

Hosted by Stay Higher Ground Properties

Host profile image
We’re from the New Orleans area and have deep ties to Covington, LA. Our journey has been all about realizing our dreams and building something meaningful—this property is our first venture under our company, Higher Ground Holdings.

We love spending time with family, enjoying nature, and taking care of ourselves mentally, physically, and spiritually. We thrive on challenges, love dreaming, planning, creating, and above all, making people happy. Hosting allows us to share a little piece of what we love with others, and we hope your stay feels warm, welcoming, and memorable.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood because of its stunning natural beauty and peaceful surroundings. Nestled along River Road, the area follows the gentle curve of the Bogue Falaya River, offering lush landscapes, serene views, and a true sense of tranquility.

It’s the perfect balance—close enough to downtown Covington for shops and dining, yet tucked away enough to enjoy quiet, nature-filled moments. We also love being just a short drive from St. Joseph Abbey and The Greenwood, and less than an hour from New Orleans, making it easy to explore the city while retreating to calm and beauty at the end of the day.

What makes this property unique

Our property is unique because it combines space, comfort, and a stunning riverfront setting. Sitting on 1.5 acres along the Bogue Falaya River, the single-level, 3,000 sq. ft. home offers plenty of room to relax and unwind.

Guests enjoy a full garage gym, a variety of provided amenities, an outdoor deck with peaceful river views, and a fire pit for cozy evenings. Whether you’re here to recharge, spend time outdoors, or enjoy the comforts of home, this property offers a rare blend of nature, space, and convenience.
