A great place to enjoy Labor Day weekend! Loved the views and the house layout is excellent for enjoying a vacation in and cooking at the house and grilling on the patio.
Lovely home right on the water. Easy access to water with dock and stairs. Favorite was the screenedcin porch with ceiling fans. Comfortable seating to watch sunset, read a book, or just hang out with family
Bella Vista as its name indicates is beautiful! We visited Lake Norman with our family for a long weekend. Including our grandchildren ages 7, 5, and 2. The property couldn’t have been more perfect for us. The big yard is fenced on each side for running and playing, not to mention the yard games including cornhole and horseshoes, which we all enjoyed. My son and daughter-in-law took the kids out on the paddle boats. Lifejackets in all sizes were available. There is also a separate playhouse with age appropriate games that my grandchildren loved during a few rain showers.
There is also a beautiful dock for fishing. We brought our boat and my husband launched it a short distance away and was at the house in no time. The boat slip is easy to navigate and tie up to.
Ok the house. WOW. It was amazing and so well equipped. There is not one thing that it is missing. Even hair dryers in all bathrooms. Upstairs has a bedroom with two twin beds, perfect for my grandsons. And they loved TVs in all the rooms.
My favorite room? The screened porch! With comfy furniture, dining table ceiling fans and of course a TV. The perfect place to have a morning coffee and watch sunrise before the kids got up.
Views of the lake can be enjoyed from most all the rooms.
Kitchen had everything you could imagine. Two coffee makers, pantry full of extra appliances and plenty of dishes and cookware. It was so much fun cooking with all the family.
Would I go back to Bella Vista? Absolutely!!
Wonderful location - could have stayed on screened-in porch 24/7! Very nicely appointed and very comfortable. Would consider returning.Had a few very minor issues that should be fixed but overall a really great choice for our annual trip!
Beautiful home that was perfect for a quiet, relaxing getaway. We spent most of our time on the screened in back porch that overlooked the lake. The ceiling fans made even the warmer days feel perfect. The backyard is fenced in - perfect for our dog to run around. Definitely saving this one for a return trip.
Beautiful, spacious home with wonderful amenities. Tastefully decorated. Wonderful location. We loved the dock and porch. Beds were comfortable and bedding was clean and luxurious. It's a new property and they may still be working out a few kinks, but overall we had a wonderful stay. I would recommend investing in some ice packs to keep in the freezer and a cooler for guests to use. Some sun chairs on the side porch would be nice too! We cleaned up the yard and dock a bit when we arrived, but that may have been due to stormy weather. It is a beautiful property with tons of potential and lots of space. Thank you Southern Charm, we will be back!
