The house and property were great. The kitchen was very well stocked. Our host responded quickly to any questions. I loved all of the brochures that gave us great information about the area. Our only negative was that the pool wasn't heated. The week we were there was cooler otherwise it wouldn't have mattered. Pool floats were provided along with plenty of beach towels. We had a great stay.

That's wonderful to hear that you enjoyed your stay! It's so nice to know that Bellavista Country Estate has made many beautiful memories for our guests. Actually, our pool hasn't been heated since 2020, and since it is a non diving pool and located in a very sunny location, our guests have been happy. If temperatures were unseasonably cool during your stay, that was likely the reason for the less than warm water. That said, we are considering re-connecting a pool heater for times when the weather is not cooperative. Hope that you can return for a future visit!

We had a great week at Bellavista Estate! The house is spacious and the kitchen well equipped for making dinners together. The location is convenient with many interesting things to do in the area. We enjoyed walking at the nearby conservation area. A few of us took tours of the Capitol building as well as the Schuyler Mansion, both in Albany. Others chose to visit the USS Slater, the Martin VanBuren House and Tanglewood. We walked around the nearby town of Kinderhook and also enjoyed the Art Omi Sculpture Park in nearby Ghent.However we all agreed the pool was the perfect way to spend our afternoons!Thanks, Laurie, for being a great host!

This is a beautiful large house on gorgeous property. The host Laurie is very attentive to all questions and responds very quickly. She recommended a restaurant in town for the 10 of us, 5 couples, called Peoples Pub. We all had a great meal there. We cooked in Saturday night and the kitchen had everything we needed. The several game rooms were a lot of fun. I think overall, this would be an even better house for families because two of the bedrooms are actually in tandem, meaning you have to walk through one bedroom to get to the next. I think families would really enjoy this property with all it has to offer!

Hi Mary Ellen I'm so happy to hear that you and your friends enjoyed your stay at Bellavista Country Estate! The property is about 12,000 square feet, and so much to do on the premises with multiple rec areas, library, indoor gym & more! There are a total of 9 separate sleeping rooms in the house with 1 or more beds in each room. The 9 rooms also include the two oversized master suites on the 2nd floor that you mentioned (the Rose Suite is nearly 1,000 sq. ft) and both suites consist of 2 rooms each, separated by doors. If you count these supersized suites as one huge bedroom each, there are still 7 separate sleeping rooms! Over the years since 2011, we have hosted diverse groups, including yoga, women's, & corporate retreats, special birthdays, anniversaries, weddings etc, besides many families. We welcome all groups, and are beyond pleased that Bellavista has created beautiful memories for so many people❤️

We're so happy to hear that you had a great time at Bellavista Country Estate, our large classical style Georgian estate. Georgian architecture, named after the first four British monarchs of the House of Hanover, was first built between 1714 and 1830...and although Bellavista certainly does not date that far back, the estate, with 10 foot ceilings, beautiful crown molding, and traditional fireplaces does contribute to a historical vibe. Unlike most antique Georgian homes, the 12,000 square foot estate on 60 acres does offer oversized rooms, and plenty of space to enjoy the property. We're happy to hear that you enjoyed the roominess of the estate, and hope to host you and yours again during a future date!

Huge entertaining house

We had a large group of 5 families. The house was spacious and comfortable. Kids loved the playroom in basement with air hockey and the huge attic. Plenty of room for our big group and 5 bathrooms were a big plus. Great location. Would come back in winter for skiing and summer to enjoy the pool and the outdoors.
