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.

I live in the complex behind this house. When we first moved in we were told by our landlord that our visitors could park in the Covington house lot because our complex has no visitor parking.The other day a lady who said she was the president of the association that owns the house came and asked residents for information on who was parked in the lot.She looked at my roommates car, which was parked in her own spot, and nowhere near the landmark and said You have such a nice car, I would hate for it to get towed, so dont park out there. The next day when I left for work, vehicles were getting towed from the lot. Im not reporting this because my car got towed. We only have one car, and we always park in our own spot...Nothing ever happens at that house. Its just a little house with a giant parking lot. Its owned by the city of Vancouver, and youd think that this association that only uses it on occasion could share some of that space.If you look at the website, its closed for all but 2 hours of the week. You can only view it by appointment, so its not like people are causing it to lose business by parking there.Learn to share.

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.

Great place for events with 50 people or less. On-site kitchen for use as well. Feels homey and cozy. Have had several memorable family holiday parties here.
