Big enough for a family and quiet enough for a couple. Enjoyed the hot tub and lake view from the deck and the dock. Loved the heated floor and heated toilet seat in the master bath. A two minute walk to get ice cream was a nice bonus. Would definitely stay here again.

This place is a gem. We made bon fires, fished for hours off the dock (and caught Blue Gill and Perch!), enjoyed the hot tub, walked to Firewater for dinner followed Lakeside Creamery for ice cream. Everything about the Bella Vista was fantastic and we cannot wait to return!

Beautiful house in an amazing location on Deep Creek Lake. Well equipped will plenty of movies for a rainy day. Looks of fun places to eat within a 5 mins walk including an ice cream shop, donut shop, and the Firewater restaurant. Highly recommend this house and will try to rent it again next time we're heading to Deep Creek.

Beautiful House! Great Location!

This was our first time staying at Deep Creek Lake and it looks like we chose a great house and location. We could walk to a lot of the bars in the evening too...which was a plus since we were celebrating my daughter's 21st birthday!

July 4th Getaway

Amazing property for a large group sitting right on the water. Prime location next to all the hot spots : Honi Honi, Brenda’s, the store, ice cream and donuts! Host was extremely accommodating and quick to respond to any questions/requests.

Wonderful Stay!

My family and I had an absolutely wonderful time. House was clean and exactly what we expected from photos. This space was great for the family to gather (without feeling like we were on top of each other the whole time) Loved the patio plus additional 2 deck levels as well as the main living space and basement living space options. Would absolutely stay here again!

Can’t say enough great things about this house- we stayed here two years ago for a friend’s bachelorette, and returned this year for my 30th birthday and we will be back annually! We love this house!

Great Christmas Getaway

We spent the Christmas week with our adult kids at Buena Vista. The home served us very well with wonderful bedrooms on each level, a well stocked kitchen (dishes, pots, cups, glasses, etc) a huge dining table where games were played, puzzles built and meals enjoyed. We all talked about how we would visit again at Buena Vista in a heart beat.

Family Christmas

The experience was very enjoyable and exactly what our family needed! Loved they had the home with a Christmas tree and all the amenities. Relaxing location and can’t wait to come back next year. This is our new family tradition- home away from home.

short family get away

1st time in a long time that we have been able to get together just the family. It was a close get away for everyone attending to get to and enjoy. We had all the accesses we could ask for water access, fire pit, pool table, hot tub & walking distance coffee shop.

Lovely Weekend Getaway

I recently stayed on property and it was a lovely time. You can't ask for a better location if you want to be close to the nightlife of the area. Only issue was a broken piece of the basement stairway, but I wouldn't hold that against the houses rating as it was only a minor flaw.

Bella Vista is Heaven on Earth!

This home is just fabulous...the best I've stayed at in my 8 years of coming to Deep Creek. Right on the lake, amazing views, lovely touches from the home-owners. These all combine to make this spot incredibly cozy, comforting, and luxurious. Walkable to Ace's Run and Firewater. Can't recommend enough!

We had a beautiful vacation at Bella Vista! The house is spectacular. We were right on the water and could walk to the Lakeside Creamery and the local restaurants and bars. We rented a boat and enjoyed fishing and swimming and relaxing in the Adirondack Chairs. One of the days we visited Swallow Falls State Park and hiked the 1.5 mile Canyon Loop Trail along Muddy Creek Falls, Swallow Tail and the scenic Swallow Falls. It was a memorable time with family!
