About the host
Hosted by Cathy Matuszak
I am originally from Alpena, Michigan. My husband and I along with our two daughters moved here in June 2001 from New Buffalo, Michigan. We raised our children here and it was a fantastic community to raise our daughters. Our daughters are now married with families of their own. Our oldest daughter lives with her family in Orlando, Florida and our youngest is with her family in Verrado, Arizona. The girls love to come back to Traverse City with their families every summer for an extended period to enjoy all of the wonderful opportunities our area has to offer. We love all things outdoors. It doesn't matter if you are a summer lover or a winter lover, we have all of the activities you would want for a Traverse City vacation. I am excited to be a host because I love watching and hearing others enjoying our wonderful community.
Why they chose this property
I think the Bay Park condos (Blue Heron) are the perfect Traverse City location as we are only one block from a beautiful beach, and walking distance to all of the quaint shops, incredible restaurants and bars and the beautiful West Bay waterfront including Clinch Park Marina. We are only one block from the 10 mile long TART trail. We also are lucky enough to have the beautiful F & M Park directly across the street. I also love the architecture of our buildings. They are so very inviting.
What makes this property unique
Our Blue Heron condo is very spacious and comfortable. Each bedroom has it's own bathroom and each has a brand new smart tv. We have a full size stackable washer and dryer. We have two balconies to enjoy with a very pleasant view. High speed Internet has recently been installed and the entire condo has three brand new smart tv's where you can tap into all of your favorite apps. Our condo is impeccably clean and offers many personal extras.
