Wonderful place to unwind and enjoy nature!

Everything is as described...the owners are more than accommodating and go out of their way to make sure that you have everything you need.

Everything was pristine, from the cabins, to the scenery to the amazing hosts! We will be back!

Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully designed property with perhaps one of the most beautiful views in East Texas. The cottages are not only adorable, but are clean and comfortable as well. For us it was a welcome challenge to be without TV or Wi-Fi for a few days, but this setting is exactly where you want to be for a digital detox. Plus, there are plenty of amenities to keep you entertained. The sounds of birds wake you up and the chorus of frogs and crickets lull you to sleep. We especially enjoyed canoeing in the lake where many wildlife encounters were had. Lake O' The Pines is (in my opinion) the best lake in East Texas as it's shores have been kept mostly natural, preserving gorgeous views of the piney woods. The drive to the property will have you wandering what you signed up for, but the moment you turn in the driveway you'll feel as if you've just entered the gates of paradise. The hosts do a wonderful job providing everything you need to make the most of your stay, and are quite pleasant to visit with as well. The cottage was spotless and the linens were freshly pressed. I feel this place is a fantastic value for money and will definitely be returning with family and friends.

Cabin, grounds, view, fishing, great! Loved it. Clean, comfy, cozy.

We stayed in the Knox cottage and it was wonderful. Very clean, comfy, and cozy. The grounds are beautifully maintained and it is a very peaceful place to relax and enjoy nature. The owners Tom and Catherine are so extremely kind and helpful with anything you need. We will definitely tell our friends and family about this place and we are already planning our next stay at old camp joy!

We had an amazing time. Property and cabin were perfect. Great place to kick back and enjoy. We will definitely go back. Great job Tom and Katherine!

Excellent accommodations. Very clean, comfortable cabin right on the lake.

This time we rented all three houses on the property. Each is decorated so well, clean and comfortable. The views are outstanding right on Lake of the Pines. A flat bottom boat, kayak and canoe are available at the waters edge. Tom and Katherine are a stones throw away if you need anything. I can’t say enough about how clean and well stocked you will find these properties.

Beautiful cottage and lake view Very comfortable and clean We will be back!

My husband and I went for our anniversary. The cottage was so cute and clean. We enjoyed our weekend stay and will definitely bring kids the next time. You can fish just a few steps away and use their little boats they leave out.

Old Camp Joy was the most peaceful, clean, wonderful cabin I have ever stayed in. The owners are delightful and oh so helpful. Everything is well thought out and absolutely perfect. If your looking for a peaceful getaway or a week long stay, this is your paradise. We will be back!! Many more times! Tom, Katherine and Mary are such talented owners and have done an amazing job on this piece of heaven. Do yourself a favor, go visit and stay at Old Camp Joy!

The property was clean and well kept. Nice and quiet. Great view of the lake. The owner were great. Friendly people. Would visit again.

The wife and I just wanted to celebrate her birthday by taking a few day away from home. We loved Old Camp Joy so much we've considered moving to the area. The host were top notch, the cabins clean and very charming. We've found our new get away.

Delightful place for a weekend away. Enjoyed the nearby winery (Enoch's Stomp) and day trip to Jefferson, Tx. Planning a return trip already!

Great place for kids. Frogs, turtles, cats, fish, birds, boats, horse, donkey, and dogs! Owners awesome. Great respite for adults as well. Highly recommend and would stay again. Thank you!

Very easy

My wife is a teacher and this past year has been very rough for her with Covid and doing home schooling. My job in law enforcement has also been stressful this past year. Staying in this cottage was like a shot in the arm or just what the doctor ordered!!!! Such a peaceful place. We loved it here and it was hard to leave. Tom and his wife were very welcoming and told us if we need anything done hesitate to ask. We will be coming back for another visit

Very Very good!!!

2nd trip to this beautiful property.....stayed at different cottage this time but just as cute as the first. Gracious hosts.....had a small power outage at no fault of owners and they furnished flashlights so we could still play board games with grandaughter. Thanks Tom, Katherine and Mary for a memorable girl’s weekend.

We enjoyed the cottage and the outdoor activities. Will definitely go again!
