We had a wonderful stay here. The house is nice and suited our needs. My family loved being on the dock where they swam and fished. Floats are provided as well as a paddle boat. The back porch is covered and was a lovely place to hang out. The kitchen is well stocked with just about everything you need. We enjoyed ourselves immensely! Thank you!

This was our third time staying at House of Joy. We stayed somewhere else last year, but stayed the two years prior to that. We like the dock, swimming, and our son caught some nice cat fish off the dock at night. The location is good and we love the large parking area. The house seems as if the owners just haven't done much upkeep or replaced things. The furniture is not very comfotable. The only place to sit in the living room is an uncomfortable sectional sofa. The queen mattress rolled my husband and I to the middle. There were ants in the bathroom. (The property manager did bring us ant traps, but they didn't work) The grass needed mowing, we had to contact them twice to get that mowed. They had put in a new septic tank, but the yard was not smoothed out and it was really rough in places. Boards had been replaced spartically on the dock instead of replacing the whole thing. The kitchen was not nearly as stocked with dishes, pots and pans and things as when we first stayed there. The toaster oven in the kitchen needs to be replaced or removed (it takes an eternity to toast). I am disabled so unfotunately I spend more time in the house or on the porch. The furniture on the back porch needs to be replaced with something more comfortable. We had a good time and enjoyed our week there. If you and your family spend all your time outside, this may be a great house for you. Lots of turtles, birds, otters and the scenery is great. We really like that it's in a quiet cove.

Our family of 3 generations had a nice vacation. Wifi was strong enough to stream on devices. The house was a good fit for two kids, two parents and two grandparents. My son was able to fish off the dock. One note: check the breeding times of the fish in the lake if possible. They are less likely to bite when it’s that time.

This property was fantastic!! The owner was most helpful throughout the process and always answered any questions I had. This property is well stocked to enjoy time in and around the water with flotation devices, life jackets, fishing equipment beach chairs and anything you would need. Evenings were enjoyable with the fire pit!! We made s’mores! We took our boat and the boat ramp was very close by. You just need to take your towels, sheets, clothes and food!! We had a wonderful time and look forward to renting it again in the future. I highly recommend staying at The House of Joy!! The name says it all!!

From the moment you pull into the driveway, you just know you're going to be able to relax and enjoy the lake. The home is nicely decorated, the mattresses comfy, and the short (not too steep) walk down to the dock makes it one of our favorite lake rentals that is offered by VRBO.

This property was a nice way to spend some time on Lake Gaston. It was clean and fairly well appointed for cooking and such. I wish there had been a few more lighting options--it was mostly overhead lights and felt like you couldn't get light where you needed it for games on the table or knitting on the couch. The lake access was great for swimming and kayaks. My only complaint is that there was very little information about checkout procedures, which left us a little confused. A lot of places tell you about what to do with dishes, kitchen towels, etc, but there was no instruction so I hope we did things correctly! Overall, a great space and comfortable time for lake stay.

The House of Joy is truly a place for relaxation, fun and just getting away from it all. The location could not be any more perfect. It is quiet and excellent for swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding or just sitting on the dock. The house is in one level and has a wonderful porch for eating or just relaxing. We were thrilled that we could use the lift as well. Just lovely!

This house is exactly as it appears in the listing. It is clean and comfortable and well appointed. Check in was a breeze and everything met our expectation. Sara, the property manager, was easy to get in touch with and handled everything like a pro. The dock was perfect for swimming with a depth of roughly 6' off the end. Our pontoon was too big for the boat lift but the side of the dock was just fine for keeping the boat all week. We very much appreciated that the home is towards the end of a quiet cove so boat traffic was minimal...perfect for swimming! The house is only a 4-5 minute drive to Washburns and maybe 10-12 minutes to Food Lion. If we had to find a single thing with the home that we would change it would be that the furniture on the porch really is not comfortable. Fortunately we could see in the photos that this was likely the case and so we brought our own folding chairs. All in all it was a great stay and we look forward to returning in the future.

I can't imagine a better place for my mom and I to spend a weekend catching up. With covid and a few other schedule hiccups, we hadn't seen each other in over a year. This home had everything we could have wanted and more. The pictures do not do it justice, there's no way to capture the tranquility you feel the moment you arrive. Thank you so much for lending your retreat to us!

This was our 2nd stay at House of Joy. Everything was perfect just as we remembered. It even snowed. Only downside is that the fish were not biting like they were in April but we had a great time trying! Well appointed kitchen and we enjoyed the gas grill. We will be back for sure!
