Cute house & private!
My husband and I stayed here for Troyfest. It wasn't too far and much nicer than staying in a hotel room at about the same price. It was nice & clean and had everything we needed plus a pool table! It was a little chilly for the pool, but it looked nice.

Great Visit!
The Pool House was a great place to stay. The home was clean and it had many things to do in the home like pool or maybe take a dip in the pool outside. The home is in a very rural area so if you travel at night it will be a very dark drive. Our host was great and very fast at communicating and keeping us up to date on the homes condition. We I’ll definitely stay here again.

The Pool House was a perfect fit for our family of 5! We all had plenty of space, fun playing on the pool table, and it was in a close enough proximity to the events we were in town to attend.

Pool House
My daughter and I stayed the weekend at the Pool House. We loved it. It had everything we needed. Just far enough away from town to not feel isolated. I liked the privacy fence because there was quite a bit of traffic in back of the property the first day. But we would have liked to have had a view of the beautiful surroundings. Guess you cant have it both ways. But we'd definitely stay there again. Even the couch bed was compy! And Michelle was very thoughtful and quick to respond with any info we needed.

Great home, great setting
My son (college student) visited me here and we had so much fun both in the pool and playing pool! We cooked dinner in the well-furnished kitchen and ate on the back porch; it was so quiet. The birdwatching and stargazing were great ways to spend my mornings and nights. A coffee (graciously provided on site) on the front porch for sunrise was perfect! I can’t wait to come back in warmer weather and bring more family/friends to share this gem!

We really enjoyed staying here to be close to my family. The pool was a nice treat. There is a business behind the house so it was a little weird tractors going on behind the house while we were swimming. They also had some dogs that would bark from time to time.

Luxury in the Country
I stayed here just for a night with my husband and 3 boys (ages 5, 9,9) and it was amazing. Plenty of room, adorably decorated. I would call it country chic. The pool is awesome and clean and the kids loved swimming and the pool table. We got in kind of late, it's hard to find at night, but I called the property manager and she could not have been nicer or more helpful. Property was clean, really nice, and I will stay there again. Thank you!
