We had a fantastic few days at Bellavista with a large group of friends. We enjoyed the gorgeous views, the peace and quiet and secluded nature of the property, the space and the facilities. The garden was extremely enjoyable with the swimming pool, the fire pit and so much more! Thank you!We hope we will be able to come back again soon and really recommend this property.

Annual Family Reunion for 10, Ages 10-80

Bella Vista is a very roomy and beautiful house in a secluded area and this was the second time we have come here. The addition of the swimming pool was a big hit with my grandchildren. The kitchen is well stocked with equipment. This is a great place for chilling out and enjoying family time.

Family Trip

My family stayed at this property for a long weekend and it was wonderful. We absolutely loved sharing meals on the deck with the gorgeous view, having a blast in the pool and winding down every night by the fire. The house was so family friendly as we had 6 kids staying there and there was plenty of space for everyone. We would definitely recommend this location for anyone looking to spend some time away.

We fell in love with Hudson River Valley

This is a wonderful house for our group of 9. We have traveled the country over the past 20 years and this is one of the best houses we have stayed in. Roomy and comfortable with a great deck and view. Host was terrific and this house included everything we needed for a wonderful week. So much to do in the area, we all committed to a return trip!

Great family house with great views

This house is secluded on top of a hill overlooking the Catskills and Gunk mountains. Can’t beat the views and the size of the property. It easily accommodated the 10 of us, 6 adults and 4 children. Comfy beds throughout. Big kitchen.

Beautiful in every way

Beautiful views, lovely home, and easy to deal with owners all in a wonderful setting. If you are looking to get away from it all in a secluded Catskills location yet be close enough to good restaurants, lots of shops and plenty of outdoor activities, this is your place. We stayed here for four days and had a wonderful time - five stars all the way.

Friends Summer Gathering

This house and property are beautiful. My spouse and I rented this house as a gathering spot to reconnect with friends from around the country. The setting and view is amazing. Nights by the fire, under the stars were a favorite pastime. The house is beautifully maintained and comfortable. Thank you so much for an amazing stay.

Beautiful property, great family vacation!

We had a great time at Bella Vista. The house is very comfortable and cool during the heat of summer. For our group of 9 adults and two little kids, there was plenty of space to spread out as well as come together in the communal spaces. We enjoyed the pool and all of the balconies. The sunsets with beautiful mountain and water views were perfect each evening. The house was well-stocked with everything we needed for our stay, and communication with the hosts was very easy. We’d recommend this house and would gladly return!

A wonderful wedding weekend

We found this home a comfortable place for our family. Our grandkids especially loved the swing set, toys and open spaces available. The open kitchen, well stocked for cooking, was great. It is a little bit further away from Kingston then we had originally wanted but it was easy to get in town. And the view was worth it!! It was a very peaceful place to hang out.

The outdoor views are incredible. The last road leading to the house is a little tricky to navigate, especially at night. The kitchen is very well equipped. We only used the 4 bedrooms upstairs. Not sure about the basement accommodations.

A lovely and comfortable place for a reunion, with wonderful views

This is a spectacular place to stay! It has a beautiful view of the mountains and lakes, plenty of outdoor chairs on and around the deck to enjoy it. The interior of the house is lovely and spacious. It's elegant and comfortable at the same time. The adults loved the gourmet kitchen, and our four year-old granddaughter (who lives in a 2-bedroom apartment in Manhattan) asked, "Can we live here forever?" We certainly hope to be able to return for further family reunions...it's a perfect place for them. Our thanks to Alexandra for all of her help, and for the beauty of Bella Vista!

Cannot say enough good things about this home

This vacation was during a heat wave and the pool was wonderful and very clean. The house was immaculate when we arrived and there was nothing we could want. We had a BBQ the first night, propane provided by our hosts with extra tanks if needed. The kitchen was plenty large for all nine of us - our kids in their 40's and their kids - 9 in total. Every piece of equipment and pots, pans, dishes, utensils were abundantly provided, and we cooked 6 out of 7 nights. So much to do in the area and the house (with temps in the 90's most of the week outside) was nice and cool! We would all return without a doubt to have even more fun in the future!

A great stay in a beautiful home!

Really enjoyed our time in this beautiful home! It's rare to find a place that can sleep so many. We did a getaway for the weekend with several other couples, and we were all able to sleep comfortably. Instructions were clear, and the host was extremely communicative and helpful! We loved having access to a big kitchen and the firepit and grill outside was such a treat. Only thing I'd say so folks in the future are aware, the 2 twin beds in the rooms are actually trundle beds. Just an FYI! 5 stars all around! Would come again!

Dream location!

This house was overwhelmingly beautiful. Pictures do not do it justice. You have the entire top of the mountain to yourself, with unparalleled views and a gorgeous back deck to enjoy it all. The view from the master bedroom porch was my favorite! Sunset was utterly magical. The house has a stunning gourmet kitchen and the living spaces were perfect. Each bedroom was unique and inviting. If I could live here forever, I would! The hosts left firewood for us for the outdoor and indoor fireplaces and a tank of gas for the grill, which we used every day. If you are looking for a perfect gateway, look no further! We will be back!
