Dive into a staycation with these rental houses featuring pools

Forget a room with a view — we want a house with a pool.

No bones about it, LOU — it’s hot.

With temperatures soaring into the 90s all week, we can’t think of a better way to chill out than taking a dip. LOU has several places to rent pools by the day, but we wanted to throw ourselves in the deep end. We’ve rounded up three short-term rentals, each with a pool ready and waiting for your stayswim-cation.

Family poolside retreat

The pool takes the center stage at this New Albany, IN rental home. A covered gazebo with comfy chairs gives you a place to laze in the shade before diving in. There’s also a hot tub if you need something a little more toasty, plus an outdoor grill to keep everyone fed.

A Highlands oasis

Kick back like Louisville royalty in this 4,000-sqft home right off Bardstown Road. The house’s back deck looks out over a brick-patio that surrounds the pool, complete with lounging furniture. Once it’s time to come inside and escape the sunshine, everyone can have their own space with four floors, each with bedrooms and living rooms of their own.

A night in the barn

Enjoy the privacy of two acres at this cottage in the southwest corner of Derby City. Apple, pear, and cherry trees make white-tailed deer a common sight — you can probably spot them from the pool. Bonus: There’s fresh eggs each morning from the small flock of hens on the property.
