Check-in was very easy . Everything was great how it was showed in the pictures. Lots of space . We loved it and like to stay for next year as well. I will recommend it to everybody

This is our third year at this lake house with family and it was fantastic once again. Such a relaxing area, a beautiful new deck (great for serving lunch while playing in the lake), and includes all of the water toys (kayaks/paddleboards/lily pads), making it fun for the whole family! We entertained ages 2-72 and everyone had a great time! Thanks for letting us use your house again, Sharon!

Overall the layout of the house was good for larger families but when we arrived we were less than impressed with the overall condition of the house. House was dirty with spider webs all over the outside of home. Inside had a lot of dust and just wasn’t up to the cleanliness we have experienced with other homes on VRBO. Dock was great and was brand new. Great overall except the only place to put your boat was on the side as they don’t allow you to dock your boat in one of the slips. No cleats were provided and biggest issue is there is no lighting at the dock at all. Very disappointed especially if you go out for an evening boat ride. Have to come back to a completely dark dock. Inside of the house had a good layout for larger family’s. The surprising thing is that they didn’t provide enough of what you needed for your stay. We were only provided 7 towels (2 per bathroom except one upstairs that was shared with two bedrooms that one they only provided one towel). Surprising because we told them how many we were bringing because the homeowner made sure to tell us the maximum amount allowed to stay in the house was 13. Also dishes and utensils were not enough for the number of people staying, 8 bowels and 10 plates for a home that could house 13??? Also a lot of the cabinets in the bathrooms are very shed and paint is chipping or peeling! But by far the worse thing about the house was the hvac systems. We went in the beginning of fall when temps were not over 84 and the house never seemed to cool down. You arrive and unload you cars and the house is set at 80. House takes forever to cool down (if it actually does). Would NOT rent this house just because of this as we do not want to be sweating during our sleep. Can’t imagine how hard it was for renters during the summer!! Overall good layout and great dock but not up to the standards for what I would expect for this price point especially for quality of the house and the cleanliness!

We had an Amazing time on our annual girls lake trip. The house was spacious with comfortable beds, plenty of bathrooms, beautiful sun rooms & the Best dock ever! We can't wait to come back again!

Very enjoyable and relaxing week. House exceeded all expectations. Owners were wonderful. View and being on the lake was great. House does have a lot of steps. The downstairs is a plus with its bedrooms and living room/kitchen. We had a private chef cook out back and it was wonderful. Walk to double decker boathouse is awesome. Great property!

My entire family stayed at the property for a week and we had a blast! There were plenty of places to go to have a private conversation or to read a book and it never felt like we were on top of each other. We loved playing corn hole, paddle boarding and enjoying the dock and Lily Pad. We would definitely recommend this property.

Sharon was so helpful and provided tips before our trip. The home was perfect for our needs and had plenty of kayaks and paddle boards for all.

We had an absolute great time at this home! The floor plan is excellent for families traveling together- it was actually more space than we needed. The kitchen is completely stocked with everything you need from A-Z. The home is clean, comfortable and decorated so cute! Our stay was three days but could have stayed forever. Five stars all the way around!

Our entire family had a wonderful time in this extremely spacious home. Not only was it immaculate, the owners ensure there is everything you need there. As a self subscribed Lennon snob, I was also very impressed with not only the very comfortable bedding and linens it also in every bathroom and the kitchen. I highly recommend a stay and this love way home

We stayed at Lake Joy to be in town for a family wedding. The location, house and amenities were fantastic. Property as pictured, very welcoming. We had a little time to enjoy the kayaks and paddle boards on Saturday which was great. Highly recommend to others looking for a very nice place to stay!!!

This is our second year in a row at this lake house in Henrico and it's something we have looked forward to since our last stay! Our group consisted of family (grown siblings) and their children. An awesome place with something to do for all ages. Everyone enjoyed all of the kayaks, paddle boards, two story dock, fire pit, and foosball table. This place has so much to offer. The owners are extremely communicative and answered my questions within a short time. If you are looking for a place to gather that has a well stocked kitchen (plenty of plates, silverware, and cups even for our large group), lots of amenities included (like kayaks, lily pad, and paddle boards), and is right on the water, look no further. We are already planning our next trip!

Beautiful home at the lake with all the amenities. We turned down other properties because they required that we bring our own kayaks or had way too many rules. The trip to the lake should be stress free so we’re happy we booked this home. The owner, Sharon, was super responsive to our questions. The home is very clean and well cared for. Stepping out to the large lake frontage and sitting in the 2 level dock in the morning with my coffee and enjoying the views was one of my favorite things to do. We’ll be back for sure.

Just lovely. Owners extremely accommodating. Lots of water toys (kayaks, paddle boards, floats), lifejackets, indoor & outdoor games, ceiling fans in most rooms and tower fans in every room, extensive variety of kitchen appliances and cookware, plenty of bedding and linens. Very comfortable and very nicely decorated. Everyone in the family can't wait to come back!

Lake Joy was the best! The house was huge with space for everyone in our big blended family! Many special memories were made playing games, jumping off the dock, bobbing and canoeing in the lovely cove, playing yard games and just being together. Highly recommend Lake Joy!

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful, CLEAN, multi purpose home with us for our family vacation. We appreciate and have had a blast with ALL the water activities provided & the view of the lake is spectacular, especially on the upper dock deck. The layout of your home offers everyone a chance to enjoy & chill out how they like. We hope to return. Thank you for sharing your little slice of paradise with us.

I absolutely loved this rental! We were a multi family and there was enough space for each of us. Even separate seating areas and hang out spots within the house. Plenty of amenities for everyone and everything you can imagine. I look forward to coming here again!

Wonderful property I highly recommend it, this house has everything you need. Great water, dock, fully stocked kitchen and enough room to fit the entire family.

Our spring break vacation at the Lake House was fabulous. Checkin was easy. The house was very clean. The kitchen was fully stocked. Beds were comfortable. Having 5 bathrooms was perfect for my family. We had 5 adults and 5 kids ranging in age from 6-13. There were plenty of life vest for the fun we had on the lake with the kayaks and floats. Overall great home away from home.

Lake Joy was the perfect spot for two families for a long weekend. It was immaculate, very thoughtful, and most importantly relaxing. We didn’t want for anything, except maybe to come back in warmer weather!

My family had a fantastic stay at Lake Joy. The home is so beautifully decorated and is really large. The view was beautiful. There was plenty to do and my family especially loved the kayaks. The upstairs sunroom is an oasis. We look forward to staying here again in the future.

Great space! Plenty of room, comfortable beds end decorated so cute in "lake house" style. Looking forward to returning. Owner was helpful and responsive to our needs.

Amazing time at Lake Joy for a long weekend! We stayed with four families and there was plenty of room for everyone. Great common areas as well as privacy if wanted. The two level dock was so fun and the water toys (kayaks, paddle boards, and Lilly pad) really made our stay! We had a couple of issues with things in the house, but the owner was prompt in addressing them. Thankfully I had read reviews previously about no linens (we have never stayed anywhere that didn’t provide them, but it seems to be typical in this area). We paid extra for linens, which worked out great and brought our own towels from home. We also brought life jackets from home for the kids, but plenty were provided at the house if we hadn’t. We have stayed in some rental homes with not enough dishes or pans/pots, but this house had every pot, pan, and dish we could have ever needed. Very well stocked. The house was clean, provided lots for family members of all ages to do (besides the outdoor activities, there were Foosball and puzzles/games inside), and everyone had a wonderful time. Highly recommend! We would definitely stay here again (and are already talking about another trip)!

Property is beautiful and loved jumping off the upper deck. The owner was very responsive and even helped us out when we forgot an item.

We had a wonderful experience staying here! Perfect spot to simply unwind. The house is beautifully furnished and has plenty of space! They were sure to make it a very homey stay! I definitely recommend and look forward to coming back in the future!

My husband of 39 years and our three sons and their wife’s, all in their mid 30’s plus our three grandchildren rented this house the last week in July. We are all very athletic and love adventures and playing together. This was the perfect location for kayaking, paddle boarding , fishing and playing cards on the boat house deck. It became a right of passage to jump off the top deck into the lake. Then they took kayaks out to go fishing. They brought back a RIVER MONSTER and the little ones caught a few sunnys. After a day playing in this quiet cove we went to the large kitchen and laughed as we talked about our adventures. Each family took a night to cook so Dad and I never had to. It was great. After dinner the whole family played a game. My Redneck Life was hilarious so was Christmas in July. This home is equipped with everything a family needs. Lots of water toys, life jackets, grill, games two outside porches plus a huge kitchen w updated appliances. One additional thing worth mentioning is the layout. Each family had their private room with bathroom attached. That is a must for a great vacation. It was a beautiful week for family time.

The sunroom addition looks great and was a bonus!! Definitely look forward to coming back! Loved the decor! The aquamat was great for playing and laying.

Very nice property, and the private boat ramp was a definite bonus. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and getting some well needed relaxation!

Great location on cove, just off Lake Gaston. Property has a lot of kayaks, paddleboards, lily pad and floats which is great for water time! Relaxing dock with good views. Inside is functional with bedroom layouts and living space. Plan to bring your own food, beverages, bedding and any extra kitchen wares. Limited restaurants in the area. House has coffee makers, lots of dishes and cooking wares and two large refrigerators. The homeowner is putting a lot of work in and this is a great place for a relaxing family getaway!
