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. *

Gym/ Pool Access: This home comes with free access to the Community Aquatic Recreation Center (CARC)! This fitness and wellness complex, located in the central Deep Creek Lake area, offers a modern gym and a full-size indoor pool. The free CARC membership is available to all guests in the home for the duration of your stay, up to the home s full occupancy.

Beautiful House! Great Location!

This was our first time staying at Deep Creek Lake and it looks like we chose a great house and location. We could walk to a lot of the bars in the evening too...which was a plus since we were celebrating my daughter's 21st birthday!

We had a beautiful vacation at Bella Vista! The house is spectacular. We were right on the water and could walk to the Lakeside Creamery and the local restaurants and bars. We rented a boat and enjoyed fishing and swimming and relaxing in the Adirondack Chairs. One of the days we visited Swallow Falls State Park and hiked the 1.5 mile Canyon Loop Trail along Muddy Creek Falls, Swallow Tail and the scenic Swallow Falls. It was a memorable time with family!

Wonderful Stay!

My family and I had an absolutely wonderful time. House was clean and exactly what we expected from photos. This space was great for the family to gather (without feeling like we were on top of each other the whole time) Loved the patio plus additional 2 deck levels as well as the main living space and basement living space options. Would absolutely stay here again!

Great Christmas Getaway

We spent the Christmas week with our adult kids at Buena Vista. The home served us very well with wonderful bedrooms on each level, a well stocked kitchen (dishes, pots, cups, glasses, etc) a huge dining table where games were played, puzzles built and meals enjoyed. We all talked about how we would visit again at Buena Vista in a heart beat.

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 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.

Great property and location!

Amazing location, perfect for our recent and first Deep Creek experience. One of the few deep creek properties within walking distance of ice cream, restaurants, and boating rentals. House is better than described - clean and comfortable. One of our children got poison ivy or oak from playing in some of the wooded areas between the house and dock (off the path) so please mindful of surroundings with small kids. Overall great experience - you won’t regret it!

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.

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.
