TESTIMONIALS

Absolutely fabulous spot. Great location on the lake. Well appointed spacious cottage that our family absolutely loved. We had a fantastic vacation and would not hesitate going back. —Gary T. (Aug 2024)

Stayed at la Bella vista for a week in August with family and extended family, cottage was amazing views out of this world, plenty of space for everyone and the cottage owners were very helpful and responsive. We will be back. —Deb H. (Aug 2024)

We were eight adults and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at La Bella Vista. The owners greeted us on day 1 , and provided information for our stay. Amenities were very good, cottage was clean . Outside areas were sufficient and provided a great view. We would pick this cottage again, as our experience was excellent. —Christina W. (Aug 2024)

This cottage was wonderful, the main floor rooms were newly renovated. The view from the screened in porch made you think you were sitting on the water, spectacular views. Big Bald Lake is clear, clean and the swimming area is weed free. There are three sitting rooms which allows everyone to spread out. The covered dining table outside overlooking the lake is very enjoyable. 10/10 —Wightman Family (Jul 2023)
