About this property
Book a Memory Presents Blue Heron: Walk to Lakefront + Sleeps up to 16
Gather your people and experience Old Mandeville like a local at Blue Heron, a private whole-home retreat just steps from the lakefront. Designed for groups, this spacious home comfortably sleeps 14–16 guests and is perfect for family gatherings, wedding weekends, and group getaways. Walk to restaurants, shops, and the lake while enjoying indoor and outdoor spaces built for connection.
THE SPACE
Welcome to Blue Heron, a spacious and thoughtfully designed retreat in the heart of Old Mandeville.
Originally a charming bed and breakfast, this home has been transformed into a private whole-home experience ideal for large groups. Whether you’re planning a wedding weekend, family reunion, or getaway with friends, Blue Heron offers the perfect space to gather, relax, and create lasting memories.
The home comfortably sleeps up to 16 guests with multiple bedrooms and flexible sleeping arrangements. Inside, you’ll find inviting living spaces and a fully equipped kitchen. Outside, enjoy generous areas designed for connection, conversation, and unwinding together.
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.
