This was the third year in a row we have stayed at the cabins on the lake and it was another year we absolutely love the spot! We will definitely be back next summer. It is beautiful and quiet there.
This property was perfect for our group. We took our 4 grandchildren ages 13, 10, 7 and 7. The beach with boats, kayaks, swimming and fishing was a big hit. We also enjoyed the fire pit. There was plenty of room for all 6 of us and the staff was very accommodating.
We had a 4 night stay. The weather was not so great,but we had a cozy comfortable place to stay so we enjoyed ourselves anyway. My wife particularly enjoyed a nice soak in the oversized bathtub
This is our 4th stay at Autumn Lake and we’ll absolutely be back again next summer! The cottages are clean and beautiful. The beach has so many options for kayaking and our kids love jumping off the dock and fishing. Being pet friendly is a huge plus; our lab loves it there as much as we do! Salmon River Falls is a must see just a short drive away; my husband and I got engaged there in 2020 and this year we brought our two kids to see it so it’s a really special place for us!
This one falls under don’t judge a book by its cover. You might have concerns if you look from the outside and/or about the location (very wooded/sort of a campground. But, the pictures and description are right on. VERY nice place. VERY clean and tidy. Has everything you need and then some. Easy process and great communications. We’ll be there again for sure. Thanks Brian.
This is our second time staying here for a week long getaway. We loved the upgrades! The kitchen looked great. It is nicely centrally located for day trips to Alexandria Bay and Boldt castle, Syracuse, Lake Ontario and skaneateles! We hope to come again soon :).
We stayed here over Labor Day weekend while visiting family in the area. It’s a lovely location, and having morning coffee down on the dock while most rose from the lake was a pretty serene experience. When making the reservation, it didn’t register to us that the cabins were pretty close together (even more so when the neighbors had a fire in the pit) so we had to keep our curtains shut most of the time. The house itself is comfortable with a nice layout. It could use a refreshing with kitchen tools, pots/pans, etc but what was there was fine. Lots of info on the house and surrounding areas available. We’ll probably stay in this or another one of the cabins in this little resort village again.
The house was lovely with the calm lake in front. The easy use of the various boats/kayaks/canoe was a great feature for our entire family. The reason why I gave it 4 stars was due to the very uncomfortably soft mattress in the single bedroom. Made the relax and refresh, not so because we had restless sleep. I understand that not all people like firm mattresses, however this was soft to the point of mushy. All in all, we had a good time visiting up-state NY.
We enjoyed a long weekend of snowmobiling and sledding. Snowmobile trail is at the driveway; Very convenient. Cozy, clean, warm and comfortable. Brian was very responsive. We had lots of snow, the driveway and walkway was nicely cleared.
Loved the location. The lake was beautiful. My husband and youngest daughter kayaked one morning on the lake and enjoyed it. They saw turtles and a muskrat. It was a very relaxing and enjoyable place.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! Looking forward to your next stay with us.
We had such a great time during our stay. We were at La bella Vista several years ago. You guys have done an amazing job with the property and cottages. The only thing I could say to improve is to tighten the adirondack chairs, Many were loose. Hope to see you again.
Despite less than ideal weather, my family’s cottages were cozy, clean,and comfortable. The owner, Brian, has done everything to ensure his guests’ enjoyment. You can easily see that great care went into his planning and aesthetic design of the cottages. My family had a wonderful time kayaking, hiking, playing family games and cooking together. Thank you Brian!
