Dear Diary, If you’re a fan of The Vampire Diaries and The Originals, Vervain Villa is an absolute dream come true. From the moment we arrived, it felt like stepping into the world of the shows—thoughtfully designed, immersive, and genuinely special. The listing and photos matched the experience perfectly, and everything was exactly as described. One of our favorite touches was the TV greeting when we walked in—it immediately set the tone and made us feel welcome and excited to explore. The hidden room was incredible, and the show props throughout the house were beyond amazing. Every detail is intentional, and we had so much fun discovering new references as we moved from room to room. It’s the kind of place where you can tell it was created by someone who truly understands and appreciates the fandom. Teri was an excellent host—communication was easy, quick, and clear, and you can tell she takes real pride in making sure guests have a great experience. The thoughtful extras made a big difference too: coffee and creamers, snacks, and the “did you forget anything?” basket were such a considerate touch and made the stay feel even more welcoming and stress-free. Most importantly, this stay helped make my best friend’s bucket-list dream come true, and I’ll always be grateful for that. Every fan should stay here at least once—we can’t recommend Vervain Villa highly enough.

Beautiful home with each room themed to TVD. The listing was immaculately described which was the experience we received. The host was very kind and communication was flawless. Definitely will rebook for future trips.

Dear Diary...Our stay at Vervain Villa was more than we could have ever imagined. Teri went above and beyond, and the home was just as pictured but even more amazing in person. There were extras included in the home like everything for coffee, creamer, waters, hot chocolate..even a "did you forget anything" basket, and snacks! I was blown away! My kids and I had a blast walking around with the book searching for all the props listed and taking photos. There are SO many amazing features in this home, its such a find! Do not pass this one up! (PS, there is a secret room behind the bookshelf. I totally missed that in the listing and it took us an entire 24hrs to figure out how the house slept 8 people. Everyone was SCREAMING when the wall opened! It was the highlight of our stay! ) The square is walking distance, it was so nice to just walk out the front door and head out to town. We honestly cannot wait to head to Covington again, and stay at Vervain Villa! Thank you Teri!

We had an amazing time in Covington andthe house was amazing. The kids loved allthe props and I so appreciatedthe coffee and creamer being stocked, along with paper towels, toilet paper, and a basket of snacks and necessities in case we forgot something. The host was responsive and checked in. It’s in walking distance of downtown and a perfect stay for those that love vampire diaries!
