So happy we chose Blue Valley for our stay!
Came up for a quick girls trip. House was great! Very clean, lots of room for everyone to spread out. There’s a game room area with a shuffleboard game and a large connect 4 game to play. So fun!
Started out with an awesome walk on the boardman lake trail (part of the TART – traverse area recreational trails) which is just a short drive from the house. So nice to enjoy the outdoors. It’s a 10 minute drive to old mission peninsula and the wineries. Very close to downtown traverse city for shopping and yummy restaurants like the Tap Room Cider house. There’s also a grocery store nearby.
Can’t wait to return for another girls wine trip!
Thanks again for a wonderful time.
