Book A Memory présente la suite Girod à Blue Heron, un séjour à Old Mandeville

Welcome to Blue Heron’s Girod Suite, a charming retreat in the heart of Old Mandeville. Reached by way of a broad garden porch, the suite offers a king bed, private bath, dining area, refrigerator, and microwave in a setting that feels distinctly Southern. A daybed, rocking chairs, and porch table invite unhurried afternoons, with the lakefront just a short walk from the property.

THE SPACE
Originally a charming bed and breakfast, Blue Heron now offers private suites for intimate stays in one of Mandeville’s most walkable neighborhoods.

The Girod Suite has its own private entrance from the porch overlooking the gardens. Inside, the suite includes a king bed, private bath, dining area, refrigerator, microwave, coffee service, and essential oil diffuser. The porch seating area is furnished with a daybed, rocking chairs, and a table, giving guests a private place to settle in and enjoy the setting. A fire pit on the property is shared with guests staying in the other suite.

Blue Heron is set in beautiful, historic Old Mandeville, within walking distance of the area’s restaurants, bars, and some of the Northshore’s most loved recreational spots. Guests can head to the Mandeville Lakefront for time along Lake Pontchartrain, explore the Tammany Trace by bike or on foot, or spend a Saturday morning at the Mandeville Trailhead community market. Fontainebleau State Park is nearby for a broader sweep of lakefront scenery and trails, and Brooks’ Bike Shop is close at hand for rentals and rides through town. Beyond Mandeville, the surrounding Northshore offers even more to explore, including the Bogue Falaya River in Covington, the Global Wildlife Center, Jazz’n the Vines concerts at Wild Bush Farm + Vineyard, and Abita Brewery.
