Transfer from Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport / Wold–Chamberlain Field to The Covington Houseboat

The Inn is on a renovated towboat so be aware that the rooms are comfy but NOT huge. Lots of people come and enjoy themselves immensely but some expect larger rooms/doorways. Remember, its a boat, not a yacht. Stay the night on the Mississippi River literally at the Covington Inn. This houseboat is trimmed stem to stern in mahogany, brass and bronze, extending to guests the elegant comfort once reserved aboard historic work vessels for company executives and VIPs.

Windows and portals in the boats tiered design draw light into each room. Sleeping quarters feature a mix of ingenious built-in cabinets with simple furnishings from the Covingtons work era. Salvaged fixtures, nautical antiques and historic art provide tasteful reminders of the river and the inns past life.

Sitting permanently moored within the reflection of downtown St. Pauls towering skyline, The Capitol, museums, theater, fine dining and shopping wait just across the bridge. Offering a place for both a quiet getaway and the city spree, the Covington does it all.

Beyond the privacy of the staterooms, the salon provides a comfortable gathering place. Lit with clerestory windows and furnished with fireside couches and window-front tables, the salon offers a great place for breakfasting, letter writing and browsing through the Covington library of historic river and shipping books. Our breakfasts, cooked in the boats galley, pamper you with just a touch of the gourmet while fueling a full-days exploration. Guests are required to show a photo identification and credit card upon check-in. Please note that all Special Requests are subject to availability and additional charges may apply.
