Really nice!!

The place is wonderful. Only complaint was that firewood was supposed to be provided and when we got there there was one stick of firewood left. Had to drive back into town and purchase some and it’s not cheap. Other than that very pleased!

Perfect Nature Retreat

This is an excellent location for couples wanting seclusion and the silence of nature. The inside of the cabin is amazing, but we spent most of our time on the bed swing enjoying eagles flying and the epic view of mountains and lake.

Wonderful Escape

The cabin was exactly what we were looking for. Quaint, rustic, with a fantastic view. Bring your 4x4 to make the climb up a little easier. We brought a TV to use in the evenings, but we didn't even turn it on. Go for the peace and quiet and you will not be disappointed.

Anniversary Get Away

We booked Feb 19th and 20th (2025) for a secluded anniversary getaway. The 19th was the day after the Feb 2025 winter storm and we started out in Tulsa. After 3 and a half hours we hit a section of mountain road marked "Proceed at Own Risk". With 40 miles go we opted to press on, very glad we did. The cabin was awesomeand the views can not be beat. The off grid seclusion was exactly what we were looking for. The host is excellent with commi ications, every question we had was answered promptly. Great experience, would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet, private getaway.

Great experience

We spent 3 nights in Bella Vista, a wonderful little cabin with the best view. Logistics was easy (there is no black rock by the gate as highlighted in the instructions but it was still a smooth ride to the cabin), the owners communicated in a timely manner. The filter coffee machine did not work but it was not the end of the world :) All in all, we loved it!!

Perfect secluded getaway

Part of me doesn’t want to review this stay, for fear of more people knowing about this gem of a property. The cabin itself was perfect for me, my wife, and our dog. Plenty of space and everything we needed. The cabin is off grid, but you wouldn’t know it. It’s incredibly comfortable, with everything we needed. The multiple large windows are perfect to enjoy the real star, which was the location. Built into the side of a hill overlooking Broken Bow lake and the hills around it below, the views were spectacular. We enjoyed the setting both from inside, and out on the patio in the swing bed next to the fire. We lucked out with clear nights during our stay, and the stars were stunning. We took a hike down the road and found our way close to the water, by a little creek, about 2 miles there and back with a few detours. Communication with the hosts was fantastic before and during our stay, and we especially appreciated how reasonable their check-out expectations are. We will definitely be back! Two notes: 1. Heed all the information about vehicle needs. The last couple of miles absolutely needs something with higher clearance, and I was thankful for AWD on some of the inclines. I’ve driven a lot of Rocky Mountain forest service roads, and this was on par with those. 2. Bring everything you need, as there is no quick trip to a store or restaurant. We were happy we did that research, and were able to just park and be once we arrived.

Seclusion

This place is amazing. Views were stunning, hosts were great, fully equipped kitchen. The weather was perfect so we spent most of our time outside on the swing or in front of the fireplace. This was off the beaten path and had such a fun time getting to our cabin! Pet friendly. Could not have asked for a better place - will be back!!

Relaxation / Peace GUARANTEED!

When you want to, what our family says, "get away from the world"......this is it. Secluded, quiet, peaceful, relaxing, satisfying and the amazing views is just some of the words I could use to describe our stay. The couch swing on the patio was my FAVE spot!! It was a complete reset from the busy and hectic life we have back in the outskirts of Dallas. I have mentioned I would like to take a repeat trip at another time in the year. Hopefully we'll make that plan for 2025. :)

Beautiful mountain top cabin

My husband and I stayed at this cabin for a little getaway. It was perfect, exactly as described. The location and views were exactly what we were looking for and it surpassed our expectations. Everything about the cabin was perfect, you get to disconnect from the world (if you want to) but still have everything and more you need. Beautiful views from every room in the house. The host was extremely helpful and quick with any questions you may have. Checkin and check out was a breeze with their clear directions! Highly recommend this cabin and look forward to visiting bear creek vacations again!!

Awesome, absolutely awesome…

Another incredible stay at Bella Vista…this is my favorite cabin, has everything I need and the views are spectacular…I mean, you kinda can’t beat having coffee looking at the lake and mountains, or having wine by the fireplace at night. Hiked to the lake twice, once to the side I always go to (it’s got this beautiful area right before you get to the water that you can sit a spell on some downed trees)…and the next day, tried the other side. My first try with it, I hit the end of the trail and there was a lot of environmental debris, so I never went back…but this time, when I hit the environmental debris, I happen to see where the trail continued and made it into this area where you had space to really explore the lake…my inner Jack Skellington came out and all I kept saying was “what’s this? what’s this?”…definitely worth checking out.
