Oliver & Cecile
A Curated Escape
Steeped in History. Reimagined for the Modern Visitor.
Warm, relaxed, and refined, Oliver & Cecile offers a curated escape where every detail is deliberate and every experience tailored. Tucked beneath the oaks in a tranquil corner of Old Covington, our historic home has been transformed into an inviting space for travelers and staycationers alike to experience the best of every era in one warm, relaxed, and refined atmosphere.
A Unique Accommodation Experience
Built in 1925 by Oliver and Cecile Hebert, this Covington home has quietly watched a century unfold. Today, it opens its doors once more as a boutique retreat blending nostalgic charm with present-day indulgence.
Whether you're checking in for the weekend or just stopping by to say hello, Oliver & Cecile invites you to slow down, settle in, and savor the feeling of being thoughtfully cared for.
Distinctly Designed Rooms
No two are alike. Our five rooms offer a variety of coffee table books and reading materials, tools for appreciating the beauty of our natural surroundings, boutique soaps and bath salts, tailored art pieces, and hand-thrown pottery create a layered, lived-in luxury.
A Lounge Among Friends
With soft light, comfortable surroundings, and vintage charm, the lounge offers space to savor sweet indulgences and warm conversation under chandeliers with stories of their own. We provide glassware for you to enjoy your favorite drinks, curated shopping lists of fine wine, spirits, and small bites available within walking distance, and access to personalized recommendations from a local sommelier.
While our lounge is currently exclusive to guests, we anticipate opening to the public soon under limited hours. We invite our Covington friends and neighbors to drop in frequently, however–we’re always happy to visit with you and share updates on our progress.
Personal Touches with a Sense of Place
