About this property

Central Lake House with Private Dock! Walk to Area Hot Spots!

Bella Vista, a phrase in Italian meaning 'beautiful view,' offers exactly that: a stunning view of the lake among a home that absolutely delights. What's not to love? This home offers exactly what vacationers are looking for, providing private lake access and a comfortable home setting, all in a convenient central location in the heart of the lake. A bubbling hot tub on the deck, lake-facing fire pit, private dock slip, dual decks and a stone patio, as well as plentiful outdoor seating throughout the outdoor space round out the amenities all make for an exceptional lakeside setting. In the lower level of the home, you'll find a game room built for gathering, perfect for making exciting memories together. The wet bar, gas fireplace, pool table, and deck access are complimented by the large Smart TV, which allows for epic days full of Sunday football, movie nights in, and all sorts of festive gatherings.

Location Highlight: The popular Lakeside Creamery, a local ice cream shop and a tradition among many vacationing families, is within easy walking distance of the home! Elsewhere, the dining at Ace's Run, as well as the lakefront fun at the Honi Honi Bar are also nearby, just seconds away by car. Come Winter, the Honi Honi hosts the Deep Creek Dunk event, which means that guests at Bella Vista can even walk to the fun!

Sleeping Arrangements: Three king beds, two queen beds. There are no sleeper sofas or futons included in the official occupancy count; all guests will enjoy a bed.

* Winter Advisory: Deep Creek is a mountainous region that experiences more snowfall and ice than you may be used to. Many roads and driveways can be steep. 4WD/AWD vehicles are advised in the winter months. *

short family get away

1st time in a long time that we have been able to get together just the family. It was a close get away for everyone attending to get to and enjoy. We had all the accesses we could ask for water access, fire pit, pool table, hot tub & walking distance coffee shop.

Lovely Weekend Getaway

I recently stayed on property and it was a lovely time. You can't ask for a better location if you want to be close to the nightlife of the area. Only issue was a broken piece of the basement stairway, but I wouldn't hold that against the houses rating as it was only a minor flaw.

Bella Vista is Heaven on Earth!

This home is just fabulous...the best I've stayed at in my 8 years of coming to Deep Creek. Right on the lake, amazing views, lovely touches from the home-owners. These all combine to make this spot incredibly cozy, comforting, and luxurious. Walkable to Ace's Run and Firewater. Can't recommend enough!

Great house and location.

Great house and location. The second floor master suite has a number of luxuries. The four other bedrooms are just normal. All beds were great The only downside I would say it is right along a busy road and you could hear road noise significantly on the second floor. I guess that's what you get for being in the middle of great restaurants.

All went smoothly - house suited us well. Also - just so you know CARC passes do come with rental - that was a big bonus for us. I was initially told that they did not.

Beautiful View, Beautiful House

The pictures and details listed online are completely accurate. This location is amazing, especially with kids. Walking distance to ice cream shop, donuts, the marina! The house was so clean and comfortable and the view is spectacular. Highly recommend and we will definitely consider staying there again when we come back to Deep Creek. Communication was clear and any questions or issues were cleared up immediately.

Family Christmas

The experience was very enjoyable and exactly what our family needed! Loved they had the home with a Christmas tree and all the amenities. Relaxing location and can’t wait to come back next year. This is our new family tradition- home away from home.

Great lakefront property

The home was very clean with high-quality bed and bath linens, tvs in all bedrooms, well-stocked kitchen. The view of the lake is wonderful with 2 decks and a patio with fire-pit. Great communication with the property management company. Close to restaurants, state -park for hiking, and grocery stores.

Deep Creek Lake getaway

Fantastic place to stay for a long weekend at Deep Creek Lake. We brought our boat, and have a personal dock (with appropriate cleats) was perfect. Plenty of space, made ample use of the hot tub. We talked to the creamery every night, and all made the 6 minute drive towards Wisp a few times. Would definitely stay there again.

Amazing Weekend

Our party consisted of 5 couples celebrating a 50th birthday. We had a wonderful time at this property. The view was amazing, fire pit perfect to fit us all around, very clean, comfortable beds, and all the amenities we needed. We were close to a lot but ordered in and spent most of our time at the house. Would definitely consider returning.

Bella stay at the Bella Vista.

Excellent customer service prior to and during our vacation. The house really is at the center of everything to do at Deep Creek Lake. Many places within walking distance. The house was spacious, clean, well-stocked kitchen, plenty of linens and towels. Reception was not as bad as other lake houses I’ve been in. It was a perfect place for our family summer vacation. The view of the lake was nice especially from the boat slip. Excellent customer service.
