It’s the time of year for vacations and staycations. No matter if you’re a local or if you’re looking to visit Louisville for a weekend, now’s a great time to find somewhere to stay that’ll help you stay cool in this otherwise unmerciful heat.

We’ve put together this list of 15 Airbnbs in and around Louisville that have pools. There’s a mixture of houses, apartment rentals, farm stays, and more — and, as of this writing, all of them have availability in July and/or August. The prices will vary a lot — some of these are big party destinations geared toward groups of Derby and festival tourists, and some of them are more targeted to couples or families looking for a quiet getaway. Click each listing title for more info.
