The space
Welcome to the House of Joy – A Whimsical Retreat for Connection and Creativity
Tucked away on a quiet country road, the House of Joy isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a place to make memories. From the moment you arrive, you'll feel the magic woven into every corner of this vibrant, art-filled home. Designed for togetherness, play, and slowing down, it’s the perfect getaway for big families, friend groups, and creative souls looking to reconnect with each other and with the beauty of nature.
Space to Gather, Room to Breathe
This spacious home comfortably sleeps up to 16 guests, with themed bedrooms that spark nostalgia and delight. A cozy fireplace anchors the main living area, where plush sofas invite movie nights, morning coffee chats, or quiet evenings with a good book. Whether you're hosting a holiday gathering or planning a retreat, there's room for everyone to relax, recharge, and feel right at home.
A Living Canvas of Joy
Every room tells a story. Hand-painted murals, colorful crafts, and whimsical surprises hide in plain sight, transforming everyday spaces into imaginative adventures. Created by the original artist and her children, this home radiates joy, creativity, and the soulful energy of a life lived with heart.
The Great Outdoors, Just Outside Your Door
Beyond the walls, the magic continues. Step into your private slice of country life:
In-ground swimming pool – Ideal for sunny afternoons, poolside lounging, or a refreshing dip after a day of exploring.
Basketball court – Perfect for friendly games or letting off steam before dinner.
Fire pit by the creek – Gather under the stars, roast marshmallows, and tell stories as fireflies dance around you.
Wide-open lawn – Run, play, toss a frisbee, or simply soak in the peace and stillness of nature.
Tech When You Need It, Escape When You Don’t
Yes, we have Wi-Fi and Dish TV—but most guests find themselves drawn to the simple pleasures: walking barefoot in the grass, watching the sunset from the porch, or stargazing in complete silence.
Why Guests Love It!
This home isn’t just unique—it’s unforgettable. It invites you to disconnect from the rush and reconnect with what matters. Whether you're here for celebration, reflection, or rest, the House of Joy offers a deeply personal and joy-filled experience you won’t find anywhere else.

Summary: 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!
