The Covington Inn — St. Paul, MN
⭐ 4.5 / 5 · 115 Reviews · 100 Harriet Island Rd, St. Paul, MN 55107
Moored along the banks of the Mississippi River on Harriet Island, The Covington Inn offers one of the Twin Cities’ most singular romantic settings — a lovingly restored towboat turned boutique bed and breakfast that feels like stepping into a private world all your own. The gentle rhythm of the river, the warm glow of cabin windows reflected on the water, and the sense of gentle seclusion just minutes from downtown St. Paul create an atmosphere that’s genuinely difficult to replicate anywhere else in the region.
For couples, the intimacy here is effortless. With only a handful of staterooms, the inn never feels crowded or impersonal — every stay feels like an escape crafted just for two. Whether you’re watching tugboats drift past at dusk or lingering over a quiet morning together with river mist still clinging to the air, The Covington Inn has a rare ability to slow time down in the most romantic way possible.
