Its a very unique house with plenty of space. We had a large group and everyone had a bed. Plenty of bathrooms, lots of towels for bath and pool. Everyone with us loved it! Just watch your toes there are small step ups throughout the home. ##### Josh L. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Nikki N. 6 Jun 2024 Liked: Communication, location, listing accuracy #### Our short stay Our stay was great! Our children loved the pool and was the best part of our stay. There were several different gathering areas by the pool. It was like a little oasis in the back yard. The house had several trip hazards throughout. The counters and such were not the cleanest. All in all we had a great time. Lots of room to accommodate our big group. ##### Nikki N. Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Theresa K. 11 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Fun Adventure in the Ispy House This house is eclectic. We never were board. The house provided so much conversation. The last day we just toured around and looked at things. The pictures don't do it justice. The pool and outdoor area made our reunion! My only concern would be for fall risks. There is a lot of steps in the house. We had lots of stubbed toes by the end of the weekend. Great house! Thank you! ##### Theresa K. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen O. 11 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The House of Joy was so fun, before we left we were already talking about booking again. Our family went for a wedding. Most of our time was spent in the pool. Unfortunately, the wifi was down (and the electric went out for a little) - not their fault. BUT it made us all put our phones down and enjoy the moment with each other even more! The house was so unique. It was a crazy experience that gave us so much to talk about and even with the wifi down, the 5 kids were NEVER bored. There was 2 dogs that stopped by - Atlas & Ruger. On the fridge it said their names and said they were friendly. The kids LOVED to see them! The only downside was the wifi being out (and we were family of the bride) so that did make communication a little difficult. But again, it was a blessing in disguise! I also got hardly any photos because it was a blast! We would love to come back! ##### Karen O. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ---
