The rooms have a deck or patio off of them. We had breakfast delivered to our room every morning and we ate and enjoyed the beautiful views. I have a dairy allergy and they were very accommodating. Breakfast was delicious. We were visiting to see our daughter who works in the area. We went white water rafting with All Outdoors and that was a lot of fun. We also visited Lava Cap winery which also has nice views. We also enjo yed their wine.

Pretty room with beautiful views and back patio. Breakfast disappointing, just a croissant sandwich and bad orange juice. Keurig available, but no brewed coffee. No good reading chair in room.

The property is well kept & the house is beautifully decorated. While I did not use the pool during my stay, I did use the hot tub & it was a lovely escape after being in the cold river training all day. Also, you are provided with actual keys for your room. I love that feature. The breakfast was also very tasty.

Liked: Cleanliness
The room was clean and staff was great. The "private beach" that they advertise was, in my view, intentionally misleading as we were thinking this would be along the river. It was actually sand thrown around the swimming pool which was not even available on an 80 degree day.

I really loved the property. I loved the balcony off our room with beautiful views. The room was very nice and the bed comfy . It was good location for us. Only thing that would have made it perfect was a pool that was warm enough to swim in. It was freezing! So I could not use. But the hot tub was lovely

Much Needed Getaway

We loved our stay! A couple of notes: the vaulted ceiling and draperies they have up there aren’t being dusted/vacuumed, but if they were we’d have literally nothing to say except how much we loved our stay! Make sure to reserve the pool and spa area!

This place was just at Oasis and very close to the wineries and historic museums. It was a 20 minute drive to downtown Placerville. Some of the wineries have deals for those staying at Bella Vista so that was a wonderful surprise. The views alone were worth the trip. And breakfast was delicious
