About this property
Beautiful Lake Cottage with water access, private dock in cove and fire pit
• 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom w/Lake View, Screened in Porch, Huge Deck, and Dock....
• It is time to unplug and leave your worries behind. Come for a weekend or week with your honey or your family. Once you get here, the hustle and bustle will be in your rear view mirror and the stress will melt away. Oh Be Joyful is tucked away in a private cove on Kerr Lake and is a perfect place to come and escape the everyday chaos. Located in Clarksville, Virginia, Oh Be Joyful's location is perfect for a quick trip from Raleigh/Durham - only 1 hour from North Raleigh or Durham, 1.5 hours from Holly Springs, 1 hour 45 minutes from Garner, 2 hours from Richmond and 3 hours from Charlotte. A short drive to the peaceful setting in the woods on Kerr Lake....miles away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Traci Gibbs
We are northerners who moved south and love the water. Our dear friend Mary Ellen had a vacation home that she shared with folks and we vowed to carry her tradition & share this home with others. Sadly, she passed in 2012 before we bought this, but we named it her favorite phrase.
What makes this property unique
OBJ is a private home at the end of the road on a private cove only minutes from the open water and a short drive into Clarksville, proper. We have room for 12 people. Our property is beautifully set back on the lake with a lovely water view but has water access via a stone path. We offer use of kayaks and paddle board. Or just kick back in the hammock, have a nap in the screened porch or hang around the fire pit or on the deck overlooking the water and chat with family and friends.
