This is always such a fun fall getaway spot with our family. They go for the salmon fishing, I go to hang around a campfire with everyone. This cabin is the perfect spot to sit on the deck, watch the sunrise, and enjoy a cup of coffee. The dogs and kid loved it!

Talk about glamping! This is a wonderful space for people who want to enjoy nature with all the comforts of home. We had so much fun taking our dogs everywhere... In the boats that were provided, hiking Salmon Falls and Selkirk shores (which are very close by), and spending time around the fire. The only thing that surprised us was how close all the cabins (and subsequent deck/fire pits) are to each other. But everyone in the other cabins were friendly and respectful and many had been coming to the property for several years. This was a great getaway and we're thankful for the time we spent here.

Rafting trip

The cabin was great. I was in town for a rafting trip on the salmon river. The location of the cabin was great. I like that each cabin had a somewhat private outdoor space and fire pit. The access to the kayaks and the lake was wonderful. I enjoyed my stay and would book from this host again.

Always a wonderful stay!

We're on year 5 staying at La Bella Vista. The property is so lovingly cared for and the property owners are always adding and improving. The cabins are cozy and well appointed, having everything you'll need for your stay. The property is gorgeous and full of adventure. The owners have been amazingly helpful over the years anytime we needed anything. We go back year after year, not to catch the salmon, but to enjoy family in a quaint and peaceful setting.

Great stay at the lake

We had a wonderful stay at this property. Despite the rainy weather we still enjoyed kayaking and fishing and relaxing. Grilled every night. Took the short drive over to Salmon River Falls. Beautiful. Space was perfect for the 2 of us and our dog Callie. Cabins are a bit closer to each other than we expected but that was fine. Highly recommend-we look forward to coming back next summer!!

Relaxing and restful week

We enjoyed our time in this cozy cottage. It was squeaky clean and comfortable. Despite the rain, we had fun exploring the area and spending time on the deck, on the dock near the lake and indoors. It isn't large but it's perfect for two people. As a bonus, we could have our dog (11 years old) with us and we loved that part too. Would recommend and will stay there again!
