Reviews of Aurora's House of Light & Joy
"Loved the hospitality. The rooms were clean and beds were 4 star hotel quality. I was responsible for bringing Dannion Brinkley to Lily Dale in the summer of 2022 and he stayed in the immortal beloved room. He enjoyed his stay as well, and loved the service. Joyce, the owner; is nice and makes herself discreet so as to give people their privacy. However if you should need something, she will get it for you. I stayed in both the first floor rooms and both were cozy. I particularly liked the night light in the mystical prisms room."
"STAY SOMEWHERE ELSE. I start by saying that the owner is probably a nice person, however, we wouldn't know that. Her interaction with us was strange from the start. We rented what was billed as the entire first floor, as well as a room on the second floor. The rental process was difficult and through text. She wanted paid through a cash payment app, another thing that aids in feeling uneasy. Joyce (the owner) failed to confirm, wouldn't answer for days on end and often seemed annoyed. When I messaged 5 days before arriving to confirm, she informed me that the upstairs room was no longer ours. She had apparently forgotten and had rented it to someone else. Here we were, 7 of us, all coming from different states… and now two of us had nowhere to stay. Joyce’s response was less than helpful and again, annoyed with me for being upset at her mix-up. Her exact words were that “things happen for a reason”. In our view, the “reason” was that she failed to be able to handle her rentals, had overbooked, and now had no solution for us except for US to figure it out. The two from our party had to rent a place OUTSIDE of LilyDale because there weren’t any rentals available at that short notice. The trip began with chaos and it ended with chaos. I was very specific about clarifying that we had a private bathroom, full use of the kitchen, etc. When we arrived, the refrigerator was completely FULL, no room for anything (and smelled)! We had to find a store to buy a cooler to save all of the food that we brought (she actually scolded us for bringing a bag of ice). The house is crammed full of so many things that you can barely move and we had to put the cooler in the bathroom! While we learned AFTER the fact that our ‘private first floor' rental was not only shared with EVERYONE staying upstairs… but with the owner herself! She would come in and out many times making herself food and never uttering a word to us. It was awkward and strange due to her silence and we felt like total intruders. The biggest issue is that the advertising is NOT accurate. Her website and messages contradict what you actually get. THIS IS NOT A FIRST FLOOR RENTAL! This is staying at someone’s home that they share with you. We brought all of our own food, something that made her uncomfortable. Four middle aged women that didn’t feel comfortable enough to open a bottle wine and have a glass with each other. We didn't even feel like we could stay up and talk. We decided to stay that first night because at least we had our own bathroom…. Or so we thought… only to wake up early in the morning with someone from upstairs in our shower. I could on and on about the lack of comfort we felt, or how she did nothing to make us feel welcomed, or that you would go to bed not knowing who all was going to be outside of your door when you woke. The beds are uncomfortable and the kitchen has no a/c. The window units do nothing for the bedroom, so we were sweaty the entire time. Unless you enjoy a communal shower, this isn’t the place for you. My overall take is that there are many homes to rent and probably have owners who are more honest about what you are getting, helpful for first timers, and don’t make you feel like an intruder in their home. Joyce was flighty, and unorganized. Sadly, this entire trip was tainted by the lack of room, lack of honesty, and her strange behavior when she was around us. DO NOT RECOMMEND."
"The pet friendly apartment was perfect for our stay! Having a full kitchen with gas stove and dishwasher was a definite bonus! We enjoyed lounging in the living room and the comfortable bed. The bathroom was spacious. This will be my go-to place when I'm in Lily Dale, New York. Thanks Joyce for a lovely stay."
"Joyce made this the perfect stay for our workshop in Lily Dale. She was warm and open hearted, and the accommodations were clean, quiet, and peaceful. Put this at the top of your list for Lily Dale places to get a good night’s sleep."
"Enjoyed the house itself. Did have a faulty lamp. Was notified and nothing was done. No receipt was given the whole entire stay. Was told over the phone $100.00 a person for two rooms and a bathroom for four days. Called ahead of check-in time and was told I needed Cash or check because the credit card machine was broke. I didn't have either and my friend had to pay $850.00 in cash with no receipt. Not to mention a $100.00 was charged to my credit card to hold it. We had the understanding of having a room until Sunday at 1100a.m..The answer was yes but we would have to share a bed and give up one of the rooms. Took the room and thought we had paid up until Sunday at 1100 a.m.. Three times we remember stating, until Sunday. All transactions was done by word of mouth and the owner Joyce, was rarely there. We were asked to leave Saturday instead. We lost a half of day for a class that was $100.00 a piece and had no where to stay for the night. This lady said, she doesn't remember this deal until Sunday and asked us to remove our items right then. We left and traveled home which was 10 hrs. She threatened to call the police when I was talking to her because she didn't like what I had to say. She wanted to know why I was mad???? I told her that I planned to report her and finally I got a receipt. This lady isn't smart because the text receipt had the date. Not only that, but the agreement was $100.00 per person/a night. On the receipt she wrote $120.00 x5 nights. This host was wishy washy with no paperwork! I loved the house but make sure you have paperwork from the owner and her phone number because she is rarely there to talk to. I wouldn't ever suggest staying here to a friend. The 2 stars was for the house itself with no owner. Still plan to report treatment to the main office of Lily Dale. Sad that they have someone who does business this way. Besides this..... had a great time."
