One of the nicest things about the Blue Belle Inn is that it's truly a great place to relax, to escape the hustle bustle of the city, home, work & even family, & spend time regrouping, rejuvenating, or reconnecting with someone you love.
But for those groups, be it family or friends, (we can accommodate up to 26 people in 11 separate bedrooms) who like to have something to do, here are some ideas:
*Lay Back & Relax! Get a massage at Advance Spa.
* Taste Life! Visit Bel-Aire Estates Winery & sample their delicious Iowa wines, apples, jams & jellies.
* Get Creative! Paint your own china at Turtle Creek Trading Co.
* Live Dangerously! Bring 6-10 friends to lunch or dinner and have a "Do-It-Yourself" Murder Mystery party.
*Be Festive! Try our fondue feast -- with wine & cheese, meat & potatoes, & chocolate & fruit involved, how can it not be fun?
*Make Something! Bring your sewing machine or scrapbooking supplies & come for a Kindred Spirit retreat at Anne's House of Dreams. Cook for yourselves or let us pamper you. Saintly Stitches & Turtle Creek Trading Co. have fabric & supplies.
*Reminisce! Put together a jigsaw puzzle, watch old movies or eat popcorn until you fall asleep. (We have oldies but goodies ranging from Anne of Green Gables to Star Trek.)
*Be Extreme! Go golfing at Acorn Park, fishing in Turtle Creek, or canoeing down the Cedar River.
*Move it! Walk -- or bring your bike -- & check out our picturesque gardens, ponds, & country lanes.
*Get cooking! Come to one of our cooking workshops or wine tastings - make new recipes & new friends.
*Shop 'Til You Drop! We're famous for our unique craft, quilting, home decor, flower, antique & bridal shops.
*Play all day! Practice to your heart's content on our vintage pump organ (free workout included) or electric piano (doesn't burn as many calories, but is still fun.)
And remember, it's still okay to sit on our front porch swing and do nothing. :-) |
