Blue Heron Girod Suite

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, small dining area for two, mini-refrigerator, and microwave in a setting that feels distinctly Southern. The charming porch features a daybed, rocking chairs, and porch table, inviting relaxing afternoons, with the lakefront just a short walk from the property.

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.
