About the host
Hosted by Susan Preston-Mauks
This cottage was built by the owner’s parents. We have built a new cottage next door and will be on-site for additional assistance. This is a very quiet, sandy, and private beach. It is part of the Trails End Bay Property Association. Owners are outdoor folks that can direct or lead you on hikes (trails across the street) or kayak trips. It is close to town and the dark sky park.

Why they chose this property
Beautiful natural surroundings, with amazing sandy beach and numerous outdoor and other activities. See Mackinac Island on a day trip and come back knowing you have a much nicer beach and place to lay your head. Great restaurants. Dark Sky Park around the corner.
