Bella Cosa was originally known as Lake Pierce Club and was built in 1925. It was visited by famous people from actors and actresses to the President of the United States.
In the 40s and 50s it was renamed as The Bonaire and continued to be a location frequented by people looking for a good time and a wonderful place to stay.
Until the end of the 60s it continued to be used as a hotel and then passed through a succession of owners, including a Vietnamese family who housed refugees there.
In 2016 it was purchased by Rev. Jim Way, the President of Capernaum Ministeries, at which time it was renamed Capernaum Lakeside Lodge. The Ministry carried out extensive renovations of the property restoring its natural beauty, including restoring the oak flooring and stripping back the walls to their original state.
The building changed hands again and renamed Bella Cosa Lakeside Lodge & Venue. It has been used as an exclusive-use wedding venue ever since and is now known simply by the name Bella Cosa.
