About this property

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)

About the host

Hosted by Michelle Taylor

I am a young professional that worked in education for 17 years before deciding to take a different path. Southern hospitality has been ingrained in me from an early age and I just knew I would enjoy making guests happy and comfortable while they were visiting. So in June I began a new company called Southern Backroad Retreats. Southern Backroad Retreats began with only The Pool House and now I also rent the bottom floor (3 bedroom and full kitchen) of my in-laws home.
The Pool House which was home to David, my husband, and our two older children. We had an old farmhouse located where the main house sits now. One night while I was cooking supper David sold the farmhouse to a neighbor to be moved. David and I, along with our crew, built the Pool House at night and on the weekends. This after hours build turned into home for four years. We got pregnant with our third child and knew the one bedroom escape would not hold us all. That is when David built me the house of my dreams next door to The Pool House. Since then our kids have used The Pool House to entertain friends and the entire family enjoys curling up in front of a rolling fire!
Today, my husband David and I manage our businesses Taylor Construction & Roofing & Southern Backroad Retreats. Time that isn't spent working we spend watching our children play ball or enjoying a leisure drive on the mule around the countryside. David and I hope you enjoy the country as much as we do!
God Bless,
Michelle & David Taylor
