The Historic Covington House

The Covington House was built between 1846 to 1848. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. This Historic Home is a must see when you are in Vancouver.

This is a great historic home which was moved from orchards in the 1920s. Is not large, and when it is open there is no fee to visit. It is also available for rent for private events. You can see the numbers on some of the logs which they labeled so they could reassemble them when they moved the building. The floors are still original, through they look in great shape. This is the oldest house in Washington.

Our wedding party was less than 25 people. We wanted a small venue where we could have an intimate ceremony and reception together in one place. My first contact was through the website by calling the phone # listed. Loretta resonded promptly and we made arrangements to see the venue. She and another lady named Racine were there and showed us around. They manage this cute little log home which is on the historical registry. It has a full kitchen, two bathrooms and a changing room for the bride. On the wedding day we arrived as planned to set up and there were some boxes next to the fire place. I think it was the heating system being replaced and the guys left the boxes in our way not realizing there was a wedding to be had! I called Loretta. She and her husband came to the rescue. The boxes were heavy. They ended up covering them in white sheets and decorated the obstruction with flowers. When they finished it looked like it belonged there as part of our wedding decor. Problem fixed. Thank you ladies for handling things swiftly and being so easy to work with. We loved having our wedding here. All our guests just loved the place.
