The cabin has undergone some significant improvements since I last stayed here. It’s perfect for a fishing cabin for the Salmon River.

The cabin was perfect. We could have made staying in the cabin and boating on the lake the whole vacation. The location was perfect. We're looking forward to coming back next year.
We loved the cabin! It was cozy and we loved that it was right on the shore of the lake. It was very peaceful and quiet. The cabin had everything we needed and the host was friendly and responsive. We will definitely be booking another stay here!
The property was amazing for what we were looking for. Plenty of space for 2 and great location near Salmon River falls and only a half hour from lake Ontario!
Came out for a fishing trip with my nephew and the cottage is all that we expected and more. Property manager was very helpful and the freshly remodeled cottage was perfect!
Our family rented 3 of the cottages and we had a wonderful, relaxing, fun time. Made some lasting memories and enjoyed everything LaBella Vista had to offer, including the beautiful Autum Lake, the awesome views and the cute cottages. Each one was different, and each one had a charm all of its own. They are very well kept and clean and have everything you need to have a spectacular time. This was our second time there and we will for sure be booking again for next year!
As always a perfect spot to relax after a long day of fishing.
