About this property

Bella Vista on Lewis Smith Lake

Bella Vista lives up to its name from the moment you arrive. Perched high on a scenic point, this lakefront retreat offers breathtaking panoramic views of Lewis Smith Lake, where calm blue waters and striking stone walls create an unforgettable setting. Just minutes from Trident Marina, you’ll have easy access to fuel for your boat or water toys, plus a quick spot to grab a bite to eat. Whether you spend your days on the water or unwinding on the patio, Bella Vista is designed for comfort, relaxation, and making lasting memories.
This newly built luxury home features 300 feet of waterfront on one of the widest parts of Lewis Smith Lake. Guests are welcome to enjoy the impressive double-decker boat dock, complete with a boat slip, and a lay-out ledge perfect for lakeside lounging.
Inside, the home offers everything you need for a comfortable and memorable stay. The fully stocked kitchen includes a dining area, Keurig coffee maker, drip coffee maker, French press, and access to a balcony for enjoying the view. The spacious living room features a 4K picture screen smart TV, while the downstairs game room includes a large 4K smart TV and a full-size pool table for hours of entertainment.
Bella Vista comfortably accommodates families and groups with 3 king suites, each with its own TV, 1 double-queen suite with a TV, and a bunk room with 2 sets of bunk beds and a TV. The primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a private balcony overlooking the lake and a luxurious en-suite bath with a soaking tub, perfect for unwinding after a full day of fun.
The outdoor living area is one of the highlights of the property. The outdoor kitchen and patio provide the perfect space to gather, with incredible sunrise and sunset views, a custom easy-to-use fire pit, Weber gas grill, Green Egg smoker, dining area, lounge seating, and a 65-inch outdoor TV.

Please note: There are 2 exterior security cameras on the property. One is directed at the driveway, and the other is directed at the dock. Both are used only for security when the home is vacant, and the dock camera also helps monitor conditions during heavy storms.

Labor Day weekend fun

Our family really enjoyed this property. Fantastic view, house layout provided good space inside and outside. The dock was easy to access and had plenty of space on the 2 level. Kenneth was prompt and friendly when we had questions. Would return our 8 adults and 6 grandchildren

Cozy Lovely Home

We had a wonderful stay in this house! Access to 65 and Trident Marina was perfect. All the beds and linens were comfortable. We were able to dock our pontoon rental at the property overnight which we loved. The hill to the dock is steep but not a problem for our group. Communication with the owner was easy and helpful. The kitchen could use some updated accessories (tongs, spatulas, etc). The patio near the grill area can get very hot & stuffy so a fan there would be a great addition. We really had a wonderful time and the views from the house are amazing!! Really enjoyed the large sofa in the evenings for our group to gather and relax. We would recommend this home and would rent again. Thank you!

Christmas

My husband and I have 5 adult children and 3 are married. This house was perfect for us to celebrate Christmas with the entire family. 4 bedrooms with large comfy beds and the bunk room is furnished so nicely adults wouldn’t mind sleeping there as well. I have to say my favorite thing about the house is the kitchen. We have traveled quite a bit throughout the years and this is my new favorite stay. Most places have just barely enough cookware to cook simple meals. Not the case here. We had plenty of cookware to cook a full over the top meal. The quality of the furnishings throughout the whole house will not leave you disappointed!
