What a lovely, secluded, and quiet spot - even on the 4th of July. The AC was perfection on some seriously sweltering days. We loved the easy access to the water AND some top notch vineyards. We had a delightful stay and can’t wait to return next summer for an even longer stay!

We loved the rustic cabin feel and old time charm of Belle's, which offered ample sitting and viewing areas for nature's wonders and spectacular gardens and sunrises over the lake! The furniture was very comfortable. We enjoyed boating and swimming in the lake and hot tub. We were thrilled by the raging Glenora Falls up the road and enamored by the beautiful, less robust waterfall at Belle's (across the road behind the trash bins), which fed into a little fall on Belle's beach. We were lucky enough to see a family of otters by the beach. We also spotted a large male silk moth that looked like a dead leaf. The spiders made beautiful webs in the gardens which glistened in the sunlight.

I was torn on rating this property 3 or 4 stars. I went with 3 purely based on some issues that I read about in the previous reviews that I'd hope were addressed, but were not fully resolved. I would like to start with all of the positives. The property was depicted exactly as it is in the listing, which I greatly appreciated. The inside of the home was immaculately clean. Whoever the cleaning crew is should really be recognized. The proximity to the water/private dock was really what made our stay. If it had been warmer, there was a perfect swimming area cut out under a small waterfall. The water was blue/green and clear. Beautiful. We fished the entire stay. You can even see the fish in front of you in the water. Unfortunately, after entering the downstairs, we immediately noticed the smell of mold. There are dehumidifiers running but it was very bothersome for our allergies and our son who has asthma. And although the home was incredibly clean, we did find mouse poop on the beds that our kids were to sleep in (which we cannot blame on the cleanig crew, clearly). We also had to hear the mice run the bedroom in the night. I did not sleep well. Other than the downfalls, I really appreciated the customer service of Vacasa. We did not bring our dogs but in the entry way they even had a welcome station for the doggies with bowls and towels. That was such a nice touch. And I always felt if anything was wrong they were very accessible.
