The Joy House is a true Joy!

It’s so nice to stay in a house so we’ll furnished, even to the most minute detail. The beds are comfortable, the WiFi works great, bottle of champagne waiting upon arrival. We bring our little dog, who enjoys the fenced in backyard with decorative lighting in the trees. The location is near many good restaurants, as well. Each time we come to Waco, we hope the Joy House is available.

Joy House is our favorite

We have stayed at the Joy House several times and always find it comfortable, clean, and convenient. Also, the manager is very helpful and easy to reach. The Joy House is a few minutes from Downtown and Baylor, which results in great restaurants and shopping. When we want to go downtown, it’s only 10-15 minutes. Our Bella loves it, too, for the fenced back yard.

Joyful

Our stay at the joy house was excellent! The host is very responsive. There were snacks and even a bottle of wine! Unfortunately our stay was so short we couldn’t finish the wine and couldn't take it with us since we were driving. Definitely would stay again and would recommend to others. Bed was very comfy. Backyard had cute party lights and was fenced and private for our dogs to run and play. Internet was slow, but not an issue for us.
