Every inch of Bellavista is immaculately clean. The out door spaces delicious for the spectacular view and the super fun of a late night marshmallow party around the fire pit. Every pillow and sheet fresh and comfy. Our entire entourage ranging in age from 13 to 90 savored every minute at this perfection on sterioids home and feel so fortunate to have found it.

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.

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!

Great place for families and quiet time

This is a large house, meticulously decorated and cared for, in a spectacular location. The house is on a large plot of wooded land with a lot of outdoor space, including a lawn, playset, firepit, grill, deck and porches facing East and West. Spectacular sunsets and mountain views. The house is full of amenities and the hosts responded almost instantaneously to text messages asking questions.

Amazing!

Had my wedding weekend at the beautiful Bella Vista and it was AMAZING! The house was the absolute perfect size to host my bridal party. The following day after the wedding we had family over for a brunch and everyone could not stop raving about the house and how beautiful it was. The property and views are absolutely UNREAL! The owner was always extremely prompt responding to messages which was helpful when planning a wedding! We plan on going back next year!

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!

Perfection!

I just got home from a wonderful long weekend at Bella Vista. A group of 10 women enjoyed every second at this gorgeous home. The views are breathtaking!!!! The photos on the website don't do it justice. It's even better in person.The interior was decorated beautifully (they have redecorated the main living room since the photo on the website was taken). The bedrooms were roomy and we had more than enough rooms and beds. No one felt cramped AT ALL! The kitchen has everything you need. The owner was extremely prompt when I messaged her questions before our arrival. They supplied fresh wood for an outdoor or indoor fire. It was perfection!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful Property, Stunning Scenery, Attentive Host

Four couples spent a weekend at Bella Vista for a Hudson Valley Wine Tasting Weekend. The pictures do not do justice to the comfortable elegance of the home and the breathtaking views from the huge back deck. This could very well be turned into a bed and breakfast and be quite successful. All of the rooms were spacious, beautifully decorated and comfortable. No couple had to have a less desirable room because they were all beautiful. The beds and bedding were sumptuous and made for great sleeping. I was lucky enough the have the master bedroom and to be able to just sit up in bed and see that expansive view as the sun came up was the ultimate in luxury. Our host was responsive to all of our inquiries and needs and I want to publicly thank her for her hospitality and graciousness. I hope to come back next year to explore all of the wonderful things to do in the area and to enjoy this truly beautiful home.

Spacious, well-stocked home with beautiful views

We really enjoyed our stay (4 couples + kids). The views are beautiful, house is spacious, kitchen very well stocked and functional. The open layout was GREAT for hanging out with a large group/cooking meals. The basement (with an added bonus of toys/games!) was a good space for the kids to play. Two of the upstairs bedrooms were much bigger with king beds and lots of extra space. Just something to know if you are splitting the house amongst a bigger group. The only downside was that there was a pretty major ladybug infestation while we were there - mostly in the kitchen area above/around the dining table and in 3 of 4 upstairs bedrooms. If it were just a few it would have been NBD, but there were a couple hundred in the 2 days we were there. Many were dead on the floors when we arrived (which we vacuumed..maybe the house hadn't been occupied in awhile?) & many live ones. They were irritating to have all around the dining table, and we found them on the bedspreads. Not sure if we just happened to be there at the perfect time for them to come, with the weather warming up a little, but we were surprised to have that volume inside the house. Anyway, it didn't ruin our stay but it was a nuisance. I did reach out to the owner asking if there was anything we could do (mainly to help them out because there were so many and didn't know if they were aware), and she let me know that we could vacuum them and they were harmless. Overall, the property is nice and we enjoyed our trip.

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!

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.

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.

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!
