The home was very comfortable and accommodated nine of us and allowed us to easily get read for a wedding at the same time with the five bathrooms. You could find a quiet space if you needed it. Laurie the owner and the host was wonderful.

This was a perfect location for our 20 person college reunion. The premises were clean and Laurie was very accommodating and responsive to all my emails and requests. Thank you for sharing the estate with us.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2025
We just got back from staying at Bellavista for a week, and be "we", I mean a very large family including infants, toddlers, kids, teenagers, uncles, aunts, and even grandma. In fact, we probably were slightly above the stated capacity of the house, but our hostess Laurie was very communicative and responsive. It was easy to work out with her ahead of time that the property could accommodate us. We had an absolute blast at this property. The pool / patio / screened in porch area is an ideal hang out for groups of just about any size, and we spent a lot of time there. But there is just so much to do at this house. Even on a rainy August day, we were easily able to fill the day with activities that kept the kids entertained and kept everybody having fun all day long: there was a ping pong tournament in the barn, a movie screening in the downstairs theatre, a talent show in the huge living room, the whole-house game of sardines, family board game in the rec room... We have so many memories already from this one week at Bellavista (glow-in-the-dark capture the flag gets a special shout out) that everybody is asking when we can go back. Highly recommend this house to a large group or family with a LOT of different ages and interests.
