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.

This was a perfect place!!!
This place was excellent! Me and a few coworkers had a big project to take on that took a couple weeks. This place made us feel like we never left our homes. To be able to relax, cook dinner and have our own private rooms was perfect. Gayla, was an awesome host with simple instructions for checking in and out. Could not ask for a better host. I certainly would use this property again for any extended stays.

Charming and cozy home in Waco
What a beautiful little home in Waco. It was comfortable, adorably decorated farmhouse-style, and conveniently located. It’s a very safe and quiet neighborhood, the host had Wine in the fridge for us, and it’s very close to the attractions in Waco. It was also super easy to communicate with our host, Gayla. We enjoyed our stay!

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.
