Bella Vista does not disappoint! This was our second stay and it was equally as lovely as the first. We are a group of three families that have been taking retreats, to hike and spend time together, every year since our kids were babies. As the kids grew, we needed more space, and Bella Vista fit the bill and delivered with plenty of comfortable beds and lots of refrigerator & storage space for the mass amounts of food that our growing teens consume! We thoroughly enjoyed the fire pit, and watching the sunrise and moonrise reflected on the lake from the porch. Stunning! During the day, we crafted at the large dining room table, played board games, and zipped over to Trough Creek for a gorgeous day of hiking. Our group also enjoyed Raystown’s amazing biking trails and 18-hole disc golf course. State College/Penn State was about an hour away, so if we chose to go to a football game or shops we could. Nearby there were also small shops where necessities and bags of ice were available to keep beverages cold during our stay. The kids enjoyed soaking in the hot tub at night, too. Our hosts were very responsive, kind, and accommodating. We will be back! Thank you so much!
