The quiet, wooded area is very lovely you may see animals and insects you don't find in the city and suburbs. Please do not be alarmed or surprised if you see bear, deer, foxes, insects, mice, snakes, etc. We treat our home for pests regularly, but it is impossible to keep these critters away at all times, just as in any mountain home.

Bella Vista does not disappoint! This was our second stay and it was equally as lovely as the first. We are a group of three families that have been taking retreats, to hike and spend time together, every year since our kids were babies. As the kids grew, we needed more space, and Bella Vista fit the bill and delivered with plenty of comfortable beds and lots of refrigerator & storage space for the mass amounts of food that our growing teens consume! We thoroughly enjoyed the fire pit, and watching the sunrise and moonrise reflected on the lake from the porch. Stunning! During the day, we crafted at the large dining room table, played board games, and zipped over to Trough Creek for a gorgeous day of hiking. Our group also enjoyed Raystown’s amazing biking trails and 18-hole disc golf course. State College/Penn State was about an hour away, so if we chose to go to a football game or shops we could. Nearby there were also small shops where necessities and bags of ice were available to keep beverages cold during our stay. The kids enjoyed soaking in the hot tub at night, too. Our hosts were very responsive, kind, and accommodating. We will be back! Thank you so much! ##### Susan M. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tara O.

The views are amazing, property clean and accommodating, and the rooms are comfortable with plenty of bathrooms for a large group.

The house is gorgeous, but it's all about the views from the porch!! Whether it's the boats on the lake during or the marina lights at night, the view is captivating. Anna and Dawn were very responsive, helpful and made everything easy. The house is well appointed and very comfortable. Would definitely recommend and rent again. Thanks for the wonderful memories! ##### Cathleen Garrigan A. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James G.

From my first encounter with Dawn to our morning of check-out, everything was smooth sailing. The property was absolutely beautiful from the interior to the exterior with the outstanding views. We loved the fire pit (with plenty of wood) and the hot tub which was clean and so relaxing. We did take a day and rented a pontoon at Seven Points Marina (about 25 minutes away). The lake is spectacular. I highly recommend getting out there if you can. The marina has everything from small boats to large houseboats. Please do not hesitate to rent this fabulous home. You will not be disappointed! ##### Susan S. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alex S.

The house was incredibly spacious and spotlessly clean, making it comfortable for our entire group. The views of the lake were stunning and provided a picturesque backdrop for our celebration.

Oct 25, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Weekend Away Bella Vista was a phenomenal choice for our long family weekend. It was a very central location for a family with members across the state. It was a gorgeous, freshly renovated home on a beautiful property with amazing views of Raystown Lake. Sunrise is a treat! From the first minute to the last it just felt “like home.” The house was thoughtfully stocked with all the things needed to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable, and even small things you wouldn’t expect to find like games, firewood, cleaning supplies, kitchen accessories, coffee and spices. Dawn, our host, went far out of her way at every turn to ensure our stay was all we hoped it would be. She was so personable and genuinely concerned about our time there. She had great suggestions on area events, sightseeing options, restaurants and possible catering options for our stay. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a beautiful quiet and peaceful stay away from the “hustle and bustle” of daily life. ##### Greg C.

They worked with me to ensure I had everything I needed to chef for our executive, other team members, and business guests. Kitchen is one of the best equipped that I have enjoyed cooking in and they went out of their way to have their local service team inspect grill propane tanks and a vase for fresh cut flowers! The only regret is that we did not rest from our labors to enjoy the game room, fire pit, hot tub or putting green. But debriefing while relaxing on the deck was awesome way to end the day! ##### Jerome S. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fernando W.
