Just outside of the town of Highlands but only a 10 minute drive to downtown, with views all the way to Tennessee. At almost 4,200 ft, summer temperatures are as much as 20 degrees cooler than lower elevations.
All roads are paved and there are no steep inclines. Your backyard is the Nantahala National Forest.
The beautiful valley that stretches between this home and the Blue Ridge Mountains of Tennessee funnels breezes and birdsongs right up to the house.
Lots of outdoor lounging and dining on your spacious deck that blends into the natural surroundings. With soaring 20ft ceilings and floor to ceiling windows, the views from inside are just as spectacular.
Open the windows (or use central heat or air), light a fire and relax.
This home has a large indoor wood burning fireplace. This super quiet home is the last house at the end of the street atop Flat Mountain.
Disconnect from the world when you want to in this peaceful haven and when you need to connect, do so via high speed fiberoptic internet, digital cable TV, Direct TV (wired and ready for your box from home) and a strong cellular signal thanks to a commercial grade cell signal booster. Living room has a 65 inch smart tv and blue ray player. All bedrooms have 40 inch smart TVs. All are connected to internet and have free access to Netflix included, digital cable and Direct TV Satellite dish (bring your DTV boxes).
Bella now has high speed fiber internet AND Starlink back up for those rare occasions the fiber is down. With a backup generator and backup satellite internet, you will never be out of touch unless you want to be.

Master bedroom has sliders to mountain view and deck with blackout drapes, King size sleigh bed, his and hers closets and ensuite bathroom with shower.
2nd bedroom has sliders to mountain view and deck with blackout drapes, King size platform bed, his and hers closets and easy access to bathroom with tub/shower which is shared with 3rd bedroom.
3rd bedroom has Queen platform bed, spacious closet and lots of windows with blinds.
The house is open concept, only divided by the huge stone fireplace between the kitchen and living room.
The kitchen has nearly 20ft ceilings and floor to ceiling windows. It also has high top table for 4 and 3 barstools at the island. Plenty of cabinet space in the kitchen and the huge pantry just behind the kitchen.
The dining room which is open to the living room and the big view out back seats 8.
Games, playing cards and puzzles abound ready to create cherished memories with family and friends.
Outside amenities include a large circular drive with covered parking for two large vehicles. The back yard is reasonably flat before eventually dropping off. Trees close to the house are expertly trimmed to provide a canopy that keeps you cool and part of the forest with lower limbs removed to provide the amazing views.
A new whole house generator was added in 2021.
There is a 30 amp RV plug in the car port with an available electric vehicle 50 amp adapter. Bring your 50 amp car adapter to charge your electric vehicle.

Guest Post-Stay Survey

by Kathleen C

Wonderful! Easy and pleasant booking via phone, great communication via email after, responsive and helpful with questions before and during our stay. A big shoutout to Lori who helped with TV access/connection on the first day, then stopped by to help with my idiocy with the Keurig the next day (Sunday!), which I thought was broken. She did over and above in helping us and did it with genuineness and great good humor. Nice communication via text (welcoming, info about check-out, etc.).

The addition of the covered screened deck with ceiling fan was great! Sat out there reading during a big shower and it was delightful. (Previously viewed Bella Vista a few years ago and passed it up because no covered/shaded deck then.) The new furniture was nice, especially the 2 recliners and big pillows for even more comfort in them.

Really nothing needed - except a gas stove, but that's just me :-). The house was spotless on arrival. You can tell this is someone's much loved home, not a sterile vacation rental. Well equipped with everything to make a visitor comfortable. The DR electronic wall thingy with the rotating Highlands pictures was great. And the seating options both inside and out are wonderful. We appreciated the owner's notebook with their personal dining and area info. And as a weather geek, I got obsessed with the little weather station in the LR, and ordered one on our return home!

VRBO Review - Beautiful Location

by Emily T

We loved this property and location. The home is nicely laid out with a master on one side and two other bedrooms on the opposite side. The views are spectacular. The kitchen is very well appointed, and we cooked almost every meal at the house. The neighborhood is quiet and very walkable. Highlands is only a short drive, as are countless hiking options. Would rent this property again.

Arrived at property to find owner of rental company blowing off the deck area. Nice last minute touch. Great communication throughout the reservation process. Home has AMAZING views. 10 minutes to town in a lovely neighborhood. Very cozy furnishings and comfy beds with extra blankets and throws provided. Bags of dog toys were left also which my pups really enjoyed. Well stocked kitchen. Would absolutely return!

Amazing experience in Highlands. Very relaxing, Bella Vista lives up to its name, with great views of the Smoky Mountains. The kitchen was well equipped, allowing us to prepare astonishing dishes for the holidays. Good variety of board games, and we solved a few puzzles as a family. Close to Highlands center, you find this quiet neighborhood, we recommend this place for a great family time!!!Great communication, always responsive to our concerns and needs

Beautiful property, fully equipped. We didn't have hot water but didn't realize it until midnight. Called the property number, connected quickly to staff that told us where to turn on the waterheater circuit breaker and we had hot water in the morning.After hours staff answered quickly and efficiently. Good,effective communication before, during and after our stay.

If youre looking for comfort, privacy and a fantastic view, look no further than Bella Vista. The house is well stocked with every item you need for a perfect vacation. We loved the location which is only a short drive into the town of Highlands. We had a wonderful stay at Bella Vista and would definitely rent the property on future trips to Highlands.My experience with the HVR team has always been very positive. Your agency continues to be my first choice when renting in Highlands. Communication before and during your stay is always prompt and responsive. I consider their choice of vacation rentals to be outstanding.

A little slice of Heaven. This home was everything we wanted. From the 20 ft fireplace to the breath taking view, we enjoyed every single moment. We made friends with the gang from The Blue Bike restaurant and really enjoyed shopping in Highlands. It was a vacation of a lifetime. Definitely going to go back.

We really enjoyed the house. Not related to your property but we did end up in the Emergency room all of our last night at the house. Our daughter passed out in the house, she was very sick and we were thankful the hospital was so closeby. She is an EMT and got the flu while we were staying in Highlands. She is better now.Very responsive and helpful team members.

We had an amazing time. The setting was beautiful. My sons who are not really the "outdoorsy" kind even had a great time. We hiked, went to all of the waterfalls, enjoyed the shopping and restaurants in town, in the evening we played board games, sat around the fire on the deck and on my eldest son's birthday we went whitewater rafting. Really great family time. Would love to go back.David Bee was great to work. Answered questions promptly.

We really enjoyed our stay in Bella Vista. The view is amazing and we loved the location. It is very convenient to the restaurants and shopping of Highlands, plus hiking in the area. The house has some updates and is quite warm and inviting. We were impressed that the kitchen had every single thing we could have needed and then some. Definitely not sparse as a lot of rental properties can be. Also having cable TV and good internet helped make our stay just right! Thank you we will be back!We really enjoyed our stay in Bella Vista. The view is amazing and we loved the location.
