Birthday weekend in Traverse City

The unit was beautiful. Decorations were cute but not cheesy. Even though we needed very little in supplies Lisa made sure everything was available in the kitchen and bathrooms. We really enjoyed that each of the bedrooms had its own bathroom with another 1/2 bath on the main level. Lisa also provided great recommendations when asked - best cherry pie, farmer's market, and vegan restaurants. Would definitely stay here again!

The Blue Heron is a great way to visit TC

The unit was spotless upon arrival. The manager Lisa was very helpful and approachable both before check-in and upon arrival. The location was wonderful. Walking distance to many shops and restaurants. There were days we didn’t even use our car. It is also only a short drive to other lovely day trip destinations. Even in wet, chilly weather, we had a good experience. I’d stay here again. Traverse City is a good vacation town, and the Blue Heron is a great way to visit TC.

Awesome

Location is walking distance to downtown. Condo has EVERYTHING you could need. We did beautiful Sleeping Bear Dunes, rode e-bikes from Petoskey along the beautiful shoreline, did a 10 person wine tour of 4 wineries, visited the Gypsy distillery which is awesome and full of games. Friday night music and food trucks up the street was amazing. A true family affair. Warehouse district was disappointing

The Perfect Vacation Rental!

This condo was very, very clean and comfortable. Two master suites (one with a balcony, 1 ½ bath, and open living area with lots of windows and balcony with limited view of the lake! This condo was the best stocked I have ever rented! Every item you will need. Had all kitchen essentials including condiments, cooking oils coffee, creamer, Keurig and drip coffee maker. Bathrooms were well equipped; towels were large size and newer. Beds/Mattresses were very comfortable. Check-in was very smooth and communications with the host and property manager were excellent. We had a very special need that we requested, and they accommodated us which they do not have to do. Condo is priced below market!

Perfect Location and Communication

We originally booked this location for two couples for a wedding event. Turns out only my wife and I were able to attend, but the condo and it's location were perfect for our three day stay. Most events were within walking distance and it was only a very short ride to anywhere else we wanted or needed to be. As it happens our very good friend and father to the groom was housed in the same building! that proved to be very beneficial. Cathy, and her property manager, Lisa, were more than accommodating and the communication couldn't have been better. We will definitely know where to go should we again venture to Northern Michigan in the future. Thank you both.

The Blue Heron condo in Traverse City is the best place at which we have ever stayed. It is spotless, fully stocked with paper products, plenty of bath towels, shampoo, rinse and soap! Lisa, the property manager is so nice, welcoming and always accessible. The condo's location is perfect, not downtown, but a few blocks away and and easy walk to all of the shops and amazing restaurants! We are already talking about our return trip! Thanks to the owners of Blue Heron for sharing their lovely condo with total strangers, and thank you Lisa for taking such great care of us! Have a successful summer!
