Beautiful Location

This property with a few upgrades could easily be triple the cost so it was a diamond in the rough and well worth the budget. The view is absolutely beautiful! The location is super convenient. Loved this place!!

Needs a little work

We enjoyed our stay. The inside was nice, everything you need is there. The outside needs a lot of work. Siding is coming off. Need to trim bushes and trees as the bugs were so bad you could not set outside at all. Awning on deck is ripped. Disappointed with the beach .

About the host

Hosted by Tim and Heidi Magyar

We love an adventure and northern Michigan delivers so many. We came to Trails End Bay and breath a sigh of contentment every time we arrive. We hope that you will experience the same family fun.

Why they chose this property

We loved the location, the history and the great beach. We built our ''one day'' retirement home on the lots next door.

What makes this property unique

The sandy beach with shallow waters that warm quicker in the summer and extend the swimming season in the fall were what originally attracted us to Trails End Bay. Being able to cross the street and hike French Farm Lake or fish also is a favorite pass time for our three daughters.
