About this property

The Lodge at Bella Vista Estate: Private Pool, Indoor Grotto, Best Views in Area

Bella Vista has been one of the most sought after wedding destinations in Colorado for the past 7 years and now we are changing things up! We are no longer offering weddings as now smaller groups have the chance to rent out the Lodge only, and no longer have to come up with a group of 28! At a much more affordable price and still getting all the amenities our guests adore; i.e. private, in-ground heated pool, natural rock grotto that seats 10, fire pit and more, there’s never been a more perfect time to come to this limited edition mountain Lodge. With the most beautiful view in Colorado, this magnificent estate offers its guests an authentic Colorado retreat, exuding serenity and seclusion in a sprawling landscape. During your stay, you'll have access to the Lodge, a mountainous paradise spreading over 5500 square feet and featuring five bedrooms. Kick back, relax, and enjoy all the amazing amenities and features at Bella Vista!

The kids, little or grown, will love taking advantage of incredible outdoor amenities such as a regulation size tennis court, basketball hoop, and plenty of yard games. During the summer months, you’ll love basking in the sunshine by the huge swimming pool that you have all to yourself, and when the nights get a bit cooler, there’s no better spot than the indoor, natural rock grotto, perfect for rejuvenation after a day of adventure. If you’re in the mood for a cookout, fire up the gas grill before gathering around the outdoor fire pit to trade stories on the day. With Sonos surround sound throughout the whole main Lodge, back patio, around the pool and tennis court, you can set the mood no matter where you are on property.

The Lodge at Bella Vista is an absolute natural paradise, built for entertaining and featuring exquisite timbered elements that give a rustic appeal to the space. With massive windows that look out over some of the best views in Colorado and soaring ceiling, this marvelous home almost feels as vast as the stunning landscape that surrounds it. Spend leisurely evenings by one of two wood-burning fireplaces, including the earth stone construction in the great room. As you're gathered together in the great room, grab a drink from the wet bar and enjoy a casual movie night on the massive flat-screen television, complete with Sonos system.

The spacious great room in the Lodge extends over to the chef’s kitchen and dining area, positioned directly in front of the expansive balcony and sweeping views. The kitchen features custom wood cabinetry and centers around a massive center island. With smooth countertops and state-of-the-art appliances, the culinary expert of the group won’t miss a beat! After dinner, take your nightcap in the game room, engaging in a bit of friendly competition with a game of pool or shuffleboard. As the sun sinks low in the sky, head to the spacious back patio for unparalleled views of the sunset.

With five amazing bedrooms, you and your family will have more than enough room to spread out and relax at night. The master bedroom features a gorgeous king-sized bed, complete with a stunning wooden bed frame and surrounded by rustic, alpine decor, sure to soothe you straight to sleep. Each of the bedrooms features the same lovely natural spirit, along with crisp, clean linens and warm bedding that will keep you nice and cozy.

You’ll love Bella Vista and all the mountain excellence it has to offer, but make sure you take advantage of the amazing location and surrounding areas. From the ski lifts to fine dining and luxury shopping, Steamboat provides a breathtaking mountain setting that welcomes you with open arms. Restaurants and galleries await along Main Street, and in the summer, the gorgeous Yampa River Botanic Park is a must-visit. Steamboat Springs offers a more laidback approach to the mountain getaway, allowing you to unwind in an idyllic mountain setting. Make sure you don’t miss out on the natural hot springs the city is named after.

Bella Vista welcomes all groups! You’ll love this one-of-a-kind private estate, perfect for an unforgettable getaway!

Dreamy!
We are a very big family that travels together, we have been too many places. Bella Vista was definitely one we will cherish forever. The beautiful sunrises and sunsets are to die for. We enjoyed every single moment. Tom is onsite at all times ready to help in any way. He made everything easier for us. The properties are all super accommodating. We will for sure be back one day. :)

Amazing place
Bella Vista is terrific. We spent a week over new year's, and because of all the snow we got, we spent all of our time either on the slopes, or inside the many cozy areas of the lodge and other areas. The views from the property are stunning, even in the cold winter! We loved it without even being able to enjoy the outdoor fire pit, swimming pool, or tennis court! Abby, Barry, and their team were amazingly attentive and made things so easy. We hope to return for sure.

Great Place
We came with a large group of several families. The place was perfect. There was plenty of room. The views are worth $1m. The house was well appointed and we enjoyed all the amenities like the spa, game room, bar and fire places. The property manager and caretaker were awesome. Friendly and helpful. We would stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Bella Vista

Host profile image
I am originally from Iowa and my husband from Evergreen, Colorado. We met and fell in love in college and eventually chased our dream of living and working in Steamboat back in 2016. We were starting our family and business at the same time, which was quite an adventure! For the first 7 years Bella Vista was known as one of the most sought-after wedding and retreat lodging destinations in the state. The story has now shifted into a smaller, more intimate offering with hosting groups of up to 12 and no longer offering weddings and special events. We have found our personality is better suited to less fuss and more fun! Speaking of fun....we both love skiing, mountain biking and hiking so if you need any local recommendations, don't hesitate to ask!

Why they chose this property

When we dreamed of owning a retreat center, our dreams weren't even as great as what the Bella Vista is. I have traveled all over the world and never been to a destination as serene, peaceful and beautiful. This awe-inspiring land boasts the most incredible sunsets, wonderful amenities, and a private atmosphere that is unparalleled. Come experience the magic for yourself!

What makes this property unique

Being at a gated estate provides complete freedom to make the vacation of a lifetime come alive! The options of what to do each day are endless! Most of our guests plan excursions into Steamboat but are most happy just staying on site, enjoying and being with the people who matter most.
