Stay Awhile!Swim/Fish/BoatAutumn Lake. 2 mins. to Salmon River! Cottage5

COMPLETELY REMODELED FOR THE 2026 SEASON

Welcome to Cottage 5 at La Bella Vista on Autumn Lake!

Nestled at the foothills of the Tug Hill Region, Cottage 5 has been completely remodeled for the 2026 season and welcomes you with soaring knotty pine cathedral ceilings, a bright open-concept great room, beautiful new finishes, and comfortable gathering spaces designed for making memories. Whether you're returning from a day of fishing, riding the Tug Hill trails, or simply relaxing by Autumn Lake, you'll have plenty of room to spread out, unwind, and enjoy time with family and friends.

This beautifully updated 2-bedroom, 2-bath cottage comfortably sleeps up to 10 guests with two private bedrooms, each offering two queen-size beds, plus a twin daybed with a twin trundle in the spacious living room. One bedroom also features a private patio door leading to its own balcony—perfect for enjoying your morning coffee while watching the trees and local wildlife.

The first bathroom features a spacious walk-in shower with a relaxing rain shower head, while the second bathroom includes a jetted soaking tub—perfect after a day on the snowmobile or ATV trails.

The fully equipped kitchen includes a full-size stove, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, regular coffee maker, cookware, dishes, flatware, and everything needed to prepare meals with ease. Gather around the dining table, or dine outside on either of the two attached decks with plenty of seating for everyone.

After dinner, gather around the fire pit for s'mores, relax in the oversized great room, or unwind under the umbrella on the lakeside deck with your favorite book while overlooking beautiful Autumn Lake.

We've tried to think of everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
