Stayed Jan 16, 2026Easy check in and check out. Lovely decorations. Comfortable access to town while still able to escape. (The train line nearby had zero trains, so no issues at all)

Stayed Jul 25, 2025This property was perfect! The host provided more than I've ever seen at any other property and was excellent with communication. It's located conveniently close to shopping centers, major highways, and city parks. I would definitely stay here again if ever in Waco.

Stayed Mar 31, 2025Our 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.

Stayed Dec 19, 2024House was very functional, cute decor. Only 4 stars for cleanliness. Kitchen and baths were clean but gobs of dust on ceiling fans and lights. Only ironing board we could find was in the garage and too dirty to use.

Stayed May 23, 2024We 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.
