Traverse City, Michigan - Blue Heron Condo - Walk to the beach and Downtown

After a full day of sight seeing and adventuring you will love to come home to our comfortable cozy condo located in the city limits of beautiful Traverse City. The Blue Heron is perfectly located across the street from West Grand Traverse Bay where you will want to play at the beach and sip wine as you experience the beautiful sunsets.

We are a short walk to all of Traverse City's unique shops and wonderful restaurants. A scenic drive will take you out to the award winning wineries on Old Mission Peninsula and the Leelanau Peninsula. A bike ride on the 10 mile TART trail is awaiting you right out your door. Your children will enjoy a day of play at F&M park while you grill your dinner on the many grills provided directly across the street. Traverse City and the surrounding area has an endless list of adventures for you to explore including: golfing, boating, casinos, bike/boat, kayak , SUP rentals, hiking trails and cultural activities such as Interlochen Center for the Arts, Old Town Playhouse, not to mention our National Lake Shore just a short drive away.

Our comfortable cozy condo is fully stocked for your convenience. We have wood floors on the main level with a nice balcony to enjoy morning coffee. 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. Upstairs there are two bedrooms each with their own private bath, queen bed, and TV. The primary bedroom also has patio doors to a nice balcony.

Across the street is a large perfectly maintained public park with playground equipment and several grills. Also, right out of our building door is a large bike rack.

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!
