When summer’s in full swing, there’s nothing quite like enjoying your backyard with family and friends. The pool’s cool, the grill is sizzling, and you’ve got nowhere else to be. But what if you could take that experience to a whole new level? That’s where a custom pool house from Homestead Structures comes in.
This isn’t just a place to store pool gear or towel off. It’s a space that brings together comfort, style, and functionality. Whether you’re looking for a shaded retreat, a spot for entertaining, or just a way to keep wet footprints out of the house—there’s a design that fits exactly what you need.
Let’s take a closer look at some of the best pool house ideas that bring luxury and relaxation together in one beautiful backyard destination.
Create a Backyard Oasis That Feels Like a Getaway
The right pool house doesn’t just complement your pool—it transforms your entire backyard. You’re creating a dedicated space for rest, play, and everything in between.
Want a quiet spot to read in the shade while the kids splash around? Done. Dreaming of a bar and lounge area where friends gather every weekend? Easy. Looking for a peaceful place to sip your morning coffee, even if you never step into the water? That’s possible too.
Homestead offers both fully custom and pre-designed models that fit a wide range of backyards, from cozy suburban spaces to large open lots. Whatever your setup, you can create a space that works with your home—and adds to it.
Outdoor Bars That Make Entertaining Effortless
A modern swimming pool house bar is one of those features you don’t realize you need until you have it. Then suddenly, everyone wants to hang out there.
It’s not just about drinks (although those are nice). It’s about having a place for conversation, snacks, and a little bit of shade. Add some bar stools, maybe a mini fridge, and you’ve got the perfect summer setup. And when it’s all built into your pool house? Even better.
Whether you go for something rustic with timber framing or lean more modern with clean lines and polished finishes, the bar becomes the natural hub for every backyard gathering.
Pergolas That Add Architectural Elegance
If you want your pool house to blend seamlessly into your landscape—and look amazing while doing it—a wood pergola is a smart addition. It brings texture and balance to the design while creating a defined space that still feels open and airy.
A pergola offers light shade and a beautiful setting for outdoor dining or lounging. It’s also a great way to add structure without feeling boxed in.
Some people attach their pergola to the main pool house structure, creating a fluid indoor-outdoor space. Others keep it separate for more flexibility. Either way, it elevates the entire look of your backyard.
Outdoor Kitchens That Keep the Party Going
If your summer plans involve hosting, you’ll want to consider adding a kitchen to your pool house. Not just a grill—though that’s always a good start—but a fully functional setup with counter space, a sink, and a fridge.
No more running inside for utensils or worrying about keeping drinks cold. It’s all right there.
Some setups even include extras like pizza ovens or built-in smokers, which means your backyard becomes the go-to spot for neighborhood get-togethers. Whether it’s casual cookouts or weekend celebrations, the outdoor kitchen turns your big swimming pool house into a true destination where everyone meets up.
Designed for Use Beyond Summer
Pool houses are often seen as summer-only spaces—but they don’t have to be. With the right design choices, yours can be comfortable year-round.
Think about insulation, finished interiors, and heating elements like electric fireplaces or wall-mounted units. Once you’ve got those in place, your pool house can become a home office, guest suite, or cozy movie night retreat long after swim season ends.
Many homeowners find themselves using their pool house just as much in the fall and winter as they do in July. That’s what makes it such a great long-term investment.
A Private Space That Adds Function to Your Yard
Aside from fun and aesthetics, a pool house brings real practicality to your yard. Maybe you want a clean and dry place to change out of your swimsuit. Maybe you’re looking to keep pool equipment tucked out of sight. Maybe it’s both.
Even a small swimming pool house layout can include private changing areas, storage closets, a bathroom, and even a hidden service area for pool filters and pumps.
You get more organization, less clutter, and a cleaner house since guests no longer need to run inside for every little thing. It just works better this way.
Crafted with Quality and Care
One thing that sets Homestead apart is how we build your swimming pool house. These aren’t mass-produced kits. They’re hand-crafted by skilled Amish builders who focus on details that last.
You’ll notice the difference in the woodwork, the joints, the finishes—it’s all designed to feel solid and look beautiful for years to come. And if you want something custom? That’s absolutely on the table.
Even the prefab styles, like the Avalon or Heritage models, offer plenty of options to personalize the layout and features. It’s a blend of efficiency and artistry that’s hard to find elsewhere.
Flexible Options That Fit Your Needs
Not every pool house needs to be huge or complicated. Sometimes, the best designs are the simplest—just a shaded sitting area, some storage, and a place to rinse off after a swim.
Other times, you might want the full package: a covered patio, indoor lounge, kitchenette, bath, and bar.
Whatever your vision looks like, Homestead Structures makes it possible. You can start with one of their time-tested models or sit down with a designer to sketch out something entirely your own. Either way, the end result is a space that feels like it was made just for you—because it was.
Ask Yourself the Right Questions
Before you settle on a swimming pool house idea, take a moment to really think about how you’ll use your space.
- Do you need space for entertaining or more for private relaxation?
- Will guests be changing or staying overnight?
- How much storage do you need?
- Do you want to use it year-round—or just in the warmer months?
- What matters most: cooking, lounging, or keeping things tidy?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Your pool house should match your lifestyle, your space, and your plans. The more clarity you have, the smoother the process will be.
