The spacious kitchen overlooks the main living area and is fully equipped with a full range and oven, a microwave and new dishwasher. We also supply a coffeemaker and a kuerig along with a full pantry. We are happy to provide a large smart TV with High Speed Fiber Optics Internet.

We really enjoyed our stay. The place was perfectly located for exploring Traverse City and the surrounding area. We traveled with a 1 & 3 year old and the condo worked out well for us. The unit came with a pack and play and a baby gate!We would certainly book this condo again.

June week in Traverse City

Lovely condo -- very clean, quiet, and convenient to all downtown Traverse City sites -- Little Fleet, Front Street, lakeside parks, etc. Loved that it comes with a parking spot! We would stay again to enjoy a downtown Traverse City vacation or weekend.

Perfect!

The condo was perfect! So well stocked for cooking, so clean and a perfect location! We walked easily to town, and biked around as well. The property manager was so helpful! Highlights from our short trip: old mission lighthouse (about 25 min drive north- worth every second!) the beach is clear and shallow for miles…and not crowded! We also rented a pontoon boat at torch lake for a day- loved this! My kids loved biking around Boardman lake. We had an amazing time, and the condo was PERFECT for our family of 4!

Excellent Condo!!

Great place! Book it! Clean, great location, roomy, well-stocked and very friendly and attentive manager and owner. Both communicated with me in a timely manner. I really cannot think of a thing to complain about. We had 5 adults for a girls weekend/marathon & perfect size for our group. I highly recommend & hope to stay here again.

This is one the the nicest properties I have stayed at. It is comfortable, clean, well-stocked, and the location in Traverse is perfect....right in the heart of everything! The Manager is fabulous, and responds immediately. We were there for a wedding, and also to visit the casino, and this condo worked out perfect for four adults. Went to the top of my list of homes to revisit in the future. You will not be disappointed!

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.
