Our family has been going to Caseville for 30+ years. While we are thankful Bella Vista can accommodate our size (large family). The upkeep & cleanliness are sorely lacking. We stay for a week and while we don't mind bringing all our own things (trash bags, toilet paper, rugs, dish soap, towels, linens, etc.) The response from the owner is sadly disappointing. If I bring even a small thing up we notice that might need attention, we are dismissed. It could be our fault it is like that or maybe we are making it up. The bed in our one room clearly had *** on it (cleaners missed it entirely) we were told, maybe our family did it. Not once ounce of compassion. I'm clearly mortified.

Such a beautiful resort. My son & daughter-in-law got married on their beach.

My son & daughter-in-law had their wedding here. We had 150 guest in attendance & received many compliments. We will definitely be back.

I have been to the Bella Vista many times usually for a week long vacation. We always stayed as a family in one of the cottages. Is it a 4 star hotel? Definitely not, but it isn't supposed to be. The draw of coming is to be outside; at the beach or having a fire in the fire pit, not hanging out inside. On our most recent visit, we arrived and were checked in promptly. It's been a few years since I've been there and they've redone some aspects of the cottages; there was a new air conditioner along with new windows, drapes, paint, flooring and decor. I thought it looked very nice. The beds were average. The picture window is huge and faces the water so you have a great view when you're inside. The beach was fantastic. The water levels are very high because we've had so much rain - so much so that the swings are currently sitting in the water. Even so, there is still a large, expansive sand beach and the water was great. We did not use the pool so I cannot comment on that. The fire pits were really nice. They're pretty large, and situated so you can still see the water if you're sitting at them. We had a fire each night and enjoyed watching the sunset, roasting marshmallows and looking at all the stars you can't see when you're in the city. The con here (and the reason I rated it a 3) is that I felt like the cottage wasn't as clean as I'd have liked. Don't misunderstand, there weren't bugs or anything, but the surfaces all needed to be wiped down, dishes needed to be washed before use, the toaster needed a good scrub, the screened porch table needed to be cleaned before we could use it, etc. That said, if you're staying a week it's not a big deal; just clean it when you get there and be happy the rest of the week. Overall, I'd return because I think it's a nice place to stay for a family vacation by the beach.

I read some bad reviews before going to the Bell Vista but we went there anyways hoping the Lakeview would outweigh the bad. I guess as long as you're prepared for some negatives you do have an incredible Lakeview and access to a beautiful beach. Pros: beautiful sunsets, great beach, swimming pool temperature was perfect, WiFi worked occasionally, and parking was ample. Cons: wonder if I can remember them all!! First off it is pricey for a poorly maintained resort, we told them we needed two beds because we don't sleep in the same room so one of the beds was a futon couch (which they assured us was a substantial bed) and it looked and felt like some kids had performed trampoline tricks on it for weeks, the main bed gave me backaches and stiffness for hours so I'm guessing it's an old mattress, the maid service was really bad because I found cookie crumbs and cookie wrappers for nutter butter cookies on top of the DVD player (and I'm talking about one whole cookies worth of crumbs!), the toilet paper holder was broken so we really couldn't use it )I have included a picture of it here for your reference), the bathtub/shower needed caulking, there is no maid service during your stay so the towels are not changed for you, the sheets on the beds had not been washed and were obviously dirty (we noticed it after the office closed on the first night so we called the next day to get new sheets and they didn't ask why we needed them or offer to change them for us). That was probably the grossest part of the stay and the first night I slept on a blanket I had brought for the beach and I had my own pillows I used), dishes were filthy dirty and the rag to wash dishes was gross! Very little dishwashing liquid but we made it work!! You just need to be prepared for what you are getting and you might be fine!!

Update! We visited again this last summer and stayed in one of the suites in the water. The view was to die for! Everything was updated and clean. The bed sucked though! It was like probably the worst bed I've ever slept in. And the glasses and kitchen stuff could use a small update. Overall, 5 stars because it really was such an enjoyable stay and at such a reasonable cost! I will return!!

My night at the Cosy Ranch was supreme. I also got to ride in a golf cart. Tell your friends. Ask for Joe Fouladbash.

What a perfect weekend! Just north of downtown Caseville, on Port Austin road, you'll find the…read morearea's most adorable b&b. Not only is the decor charming, the atmosphere is quiet, secluded and addicting. Each room has a screened-in porch with a view of a quaint little pond out back; where the fish are a jumpin' and the Fall colours are plentiful. The breakfasts are all homemade, personal creations that'll put any restaurant to shame. They offer a library, pantry and the coziest rustic living room, with a big screen t.v. This is a must stay if you're visiting Caseville/Pt. Austin for any length of time. Your hosts, Tracy and Jerry are the friendliest and they can't wait to meet you. Just remember to drop off the room keys when you leave. Sorry Tracy! 10/25
