House of Joy

Do not miss!! Make it a point to stop in and see the wonderfully creepy photos and paintings!! We bought our first original painting from a very talented artest named Jason Voss

Super friendly owner- with tons of playful and handmade items. Reminded me of my trip to New Orleans. You can spend a lot of time in this little store because there is so much to look at. It's great that they are keeping the memories of the old bordello in Jerome alive with a fun playful attitude.
I ALWAYS have to take my friends to see this shop in Jerome.

Can you believe it? Since the 1970's, people in Phoenix would actually drive 120 miles to eat at the House of Joy when they were able to get a reservation. I used to think it was just a story until I ate there the first time on my birthday and saw the clientele. Definitely city folk, certainly onto something special, absolutely right. The food was dynamic and the small, quaint house was the perfect atmosphere for dining in a town this old and unique.

Unless things have changed much, the House of Joy has very limited hours and very limited seating. Back in the early 1970's when I sampled their gourmet cuisine for the first time, I think the restaurant seated 24 people, maybe even less. The reservation list was sometimes full for weeks since at one time back then they were only open on the weekends.

The House of Joy is always a pleasure.

Everytime I go to Jerome I have to stop at the House of Joy! Yes it use to be a house of ill repute, but OMG they have just awesome things for sale. And sorry everyone not everything is from a bordello, there are somethings are. They are just not raunchy, they are more clean and funny!

Great shop. I wish I would of bought more
I shall be calling and try to get some items mailed

Nice shop to get some history of Jerome and experience a throw back to a different era

I've come here for years, and this is by far the best store it the town.

Right away, I loved to old sign out front. Apparently this place used to be a brothel. It's now a cute antique and oddities shop. It's not very big, but they have interesting things. The woman who was working at the time was very friendly and welcoming.

If I was a Sedona local, I'm not sure I would make the trip just for this shop alone... but it's not any single thing in Jerome that makes it special, but all the things put together that makes a nice day trip! And when in Jerome I would certainly make this a must see shop! It's small but cool and full of character.

My toddler was starting to act up around the time we hit this place in Jerome, so I couldn't make my stop a long one, but if I had more time I'd love to have spoken more with the woman who ran the shop to learn more about the history of the place. I'm sure I just scratched the surface!

A cute little shop in a cute little town! Super fun and worth a visit!

Very unique and fun things in here
