“We have always enjoyed vacationing in the Traverse City region. In 2018, we happily discovered Cedar Valley Ridge. We were impressed by the design of the community and the commitment to honor the beauty of the property and create a lifestyle. As we learned more, we quickly came to appreciate the community spirit and our neighbors who have created that spirit. “
