About this property

Stay Awhile!Swim/Fish/BoatAutumn Lake. 2 mins. to Salmon River! Cottage5

Nestled at the foothills of the Tug Hill Region, cottage 5 is a 2 bedroom, 2 bath cottage has all the comforts of home situated in an area with adventure in mind. The floor plan contains two separate bedrooms with two queen size beds in each (and one has a twin daybed and trundle) to allow a quiet getaway for some, while others can tell the tale of the fish that got away. Bathroom 1 contains a 5' stand-up shower. Bathroom 2 has a jetted tub to soak away a hard day on the snowmobile/ ATV trails. A full service kitchen with 30' stove, full size refrigerator, dishwasher and all the necessary cooking utensils to make preparing the day's catch in the river, lake or woods a snap. After the meal is prepared it can be served in the dining room that seats ten or enjoyed on either of the two exterior attached decks with ample seating for all. After dinner enjoy s'mores at the fire-pit in front of the cottage or relax in the comfortable living room on the sofa, chair or day-bed with trundle bed that sleeps the 9th guest. We welcome you to enjoy any of our three docks equipped with row boats and kayaks. Or simply relax on the deck by the lake under the umbrella with your favorite book. This is cottage five.
Whether you come to fish our lake, the Salmon River, lower or upper reservoir, hike, ski, ride your snowmobile/ATV on the C5 trail, or spend a week unwinding and relaxing; we invite you to try our accommodations at La Bella Vista. We pride ourselves on making your stay memorable and enjoyable.
The beach is shared. I have lots of boats *no additional charge* so no group will ever go without.
Come visit us, unplug and unwind, you will be so glad you did.

Brian J. Klefbeck, Your Host

Very beautiful relaxing retreat

Brian was very helpful and accommodating. The cottages were very clean and beautiful inside. The property had a very nice view of the lake as well as great access to it. My family especially our children enjoyed ever minute we were there. Over all this is a great place to take your family to enjoy the outside and beauty of nature. Can't wait to go back in the summer time.

Autumn Lake Bella Vista

We had a wonderful stay for a 2nd year! We just love the lake and access to all the kayaks. This season the teenagers also got to enjoy fishing in Autumn Lake. We hope to return in 2024. Management was also great about responding to our request to empty trash cans for us.

We stayed in cottage 5. It was very clean. The kitchen was set up with everything that we needed. I like that cottage 5 was a little more secluded than the other cottages. We will stay again

Great location for fishing trips

This is our third stay at Brian's cabins. The cabins have the basics for your stay, and is a great home base for fishing trips on the lake and river. The kitchen is sparse, (it could be we were early in the season and there were no "leftover" items from previous guests) but there is a dollar store nearby where we picked up salt and pepper and a few other items. Not a deal breaker - just sharing. A great place for a guys fishing trip. We will be back

Beautiful Lakeside Property

This cabin in the woods was exactly what we wanted! It was fully equipped with comfortable beds, chairs, and a full kitchen. Best part was the super close proximity to the lake! My family had a blast relaxing in such beautiful scenery and you can't beat s'mores by the awesome fire pit! The host was extremely responsive and the instructions sent before hand and guide book in the cabin itself were very extensive and easy to follow. The only thing I wish I had brought that wasn't on the list was a fly swatter!
