Southern Backroad Retreats (The Pool House)

The Pool House is nestled a mile from the Conecuh River in Goshen, Alabama. It comprises a country comfort escape paired with city convenience. This Pool House hosts one private bedroom with king bed and additional sleeping accommodations in the great room area with pool table and plenty of entertainment space. A beautiful view of the expansive countryside can be enjoyed while grilling near the porch. This awesome space is only a 15min drive from Troy (231), a 22 min drive from 331 in Luverne, and a 50 min drive from Montgomery.

The Pool House is a quaint one bedroom escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It is actually the guest house for Covey Point Lodge. Three steps led you to the front door. Inside you will find a great place to relax, watch your favorite TV show on Dish, enjoy free WiFi, or delight in a game of pool. All while drinking a refreshing glass of filtered well water. In the kitchen you will find the cabinets stocked with most of your cooking utensils. Both the microwave and refrigerator are new. Any laundry needs can be taken care of in the full size washing machine and dryer located in the full bath. The back door opens up to a majestic view of the pool with a privates fence. Steps lead down to the poolside. There you can enjoy a rejuvenating dip in the pool, show off your diving skills from the diving board, or relax in one of the six lounge chairs alongside the pool. If outdoor activities appeal, a boys and girls pitching mound and basketball goal are available across the yard. After having all the outdoor fun you can stand wash off in the outdoor shower before grilling. Need extra sleeping to accommodate more guest rent Covey Point Lodge! The main house next door to The Pool House (April - September)
If you are lucky to visit The Pool House at Covey Point Lodge during October through March be sure to contact us about booking a quail, pheasant, deer, turkey, & hog hunts (during the appropriate season).
This spot of paradise is not far from Downtown Troy, AL. Local points of interest include Troy University which hosts seasonal sporting events, As well as, Troy Parks & Recreational Center. It hosts manicured walking trails and softball and baseball fields. Enjoy a quite stay off the beaten path at the pool house if you are in town for a ballgame or any other activity in Troy.

You can enjoy the activities of the city and return to the relaxation of the country.

Beautiful Country Property

This property was a wonderful surprise!!! The home was just the right size for the two of us. The home is in the country but only a short drive into town. It was great sitting out on the back porch swing and enjoying the swimming pool. The internet was fast when we needed to work and the home was in a great area between Greenville and Dothan as we were playing the Robert Trent Jones golf courses. I highly recommend this property and we would stay there again.

Weekend getaway

My girlfriend, and I had a wonderfully relaxing time. Everything was better than described! We will definitely be coming back when the weather is a little warmer, to fully enjoy the pool. It was just a bit too chilly this weekend to get in.

Peaceful retreat

The property and house were wonderful. The minimum to stay there is available. I was charged extra for the kids, but wasn't provided extras like coffee, towels, etc. The property manager did respond immediately when we had trouble finding key code at late check-in and helped us navigate a booking mistake. We will definitely stay again. I was more frustrated with the VRBO app than the actual property owner. It is incredibly cumbersome use in comparison to other apps.

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.

It was ok

We were looking for a quiet getaway for our family of 4...There is a clear rule of NO glass by the pool. Someone clearly couldnt help themselves and my husband, 1 of my children, and myself ended up with glass in our feet. There is a farm workshop directly behind the pool where there is constant noise from the workers and their music. They also found it necessary to fire a gun and blow a bird to bits in front of my children. I have PTSD and it sent me into a panic attack. The place was mostly clean. Walls need a good scrub down. The wiring needs replaced/repaired. The fan in the bathroom is a bit noisy and sounds like its going to fall off the ceiling.Michelle was very nice and responded very quickly to my texts. The pool itself was very clean and enjoyable. Due to the glass and unexpected gunfire i have to give this place a 2-3/5. We will not be returning because of it.
