About the host

Hosted by Tim and Heidi Magyar

Host profile image
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.
