About Property

Discover the timeless allure of the South at Blue Heron’s Girod Suite, a charming retreat nestled in the heart of historic Old Mandeville, Louisiana. This intimate getaway is reached via a broad garden porch, setting the stage for a relaxing experience that blends traditional Southern comfort with modern convenience.

Designed for an intimate stay, the suite features a thoughtful layout consisting of 1 bedroom with a comfortable king bed and 1 private bathroom equipped with a shower. The space is perfectly tailored for up to 2 guests, providing a serene sanctuary for couples or solo travelers.

Inside the suite, you will find a private entrance that opens from the garden porch. The interior is thoughtfully appointed with a small dining area for two, a mini-refrigerator, a microwave, coffee service, and an essential oil diffuser to enhance your relaxation. The experience extends outdoors to the charming porch, which is furnished with a daybed, rocking chairs, and a table—ideal for unhurried afternoons. While the suite does not include full kitchen facilities, guests have access to a shared fire pit on the property to enjoy with other visitors.

Located in one of Mandeville’s most walkable neighborhoods, the property is just a short stroll from the beautiful lakefront. Guests can enjoy time along Lake Pontchartrain, explore the Tammany Trace by bike or on foot, or visit the Mandeville Trailhead community market on Saturday mornings. Nearby attractions include Fontainebleau State Park, Brooks’ Bike Shop for rentals, and various local restaurants and bars. Further exploration of the Northshore reveals the Bogue Falaya River in Covington, Abita Brewery, the Global Wildlife Center, and Jazz’n the Vines concerts at Wild Bush Farm + Vineyard.
