About this property

Our cottage is located in the middle of the beautiful sandy beach of Trails End Bay, on Lake Michigan.

Trails End Bay is really one of the most beautiful beaches on this part of Lake Michigan. Trails End Bay is located just West of Mackinaw City at the Straits of Mackinac. The sandy beach and clear water is perfect for swimming and water sports.

We now have wifi internet with 100 Mbps download/upload speeds by way of Truestream! To go with that we have a Roku digital media player that offers access to streaming media content from various online services

Our two-bedroom, 1 bath cottage, includes an open floor plan with a large living room and kitchen with an eating area. One bedroom has a queen size bed and the other bedroom has two twin beds to accommodate four comfortably. The kitchen features a refrigerator, electric range, built-in microwave, garbage disposal, and dishwasher. The cottage faces West which opens it up to the gorgeous views and spectacular sunsets of this part of Lake Michigan.

The Mackinac Straits Area is the home of several National Historic sites including Mackinac Island. Mackinaw City attractions include, the Mackinaw Crossings outdoor mall, the Odawa Casino, numerous shops and gift stores. Not far is a live evening lumberjack show. Mackinaw City is also the gateway to Michigan's Upper Peninsula via the 'Mighty Mac' Mackinac Bridge and ferries to Mackinac Island. While in Mackinaw city you can tour the Ice Breaker Mackinac, Colonial Fort Michlimackinac, Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse and other attractions.

The Headlands International Dark Sky park is located less than a mile and a half from our cottage. From our beach we share the same view of the night sky offered at that park.

Excellent stay

Moose lodge - absolutely! Great stay, informative book, super communication and relaxing. Close to Mackinaw city and bridge. Be sure to bring bug spray or bug tent as it is near the woods. Lake Water is cold - as expected. House has hot water. Clean, provided towels, sheets and garbage bags. Games and a few movies too. Even provided a welcome gift - unexpected and appreciated. Will definitely keep this place on my list.

Awesome place!

This is a great getaway spot. Super clean, easy to find, and exactly as described. Awesome sand beach, clean water to swim in, and I probably have 10 different sunset pictures on my phone! Great communication with the owners. 5 stars across the board.

Great Little Cottage

We absolutely loved the Bull Moose Cottage. It fit our family of four perfectly. The cottage had a great sandy beach and the swimming was perfect. We spent a lot of time at the beach and can't wait to come back. Great location to base day trips to the U.P. and surrounding areas.

Sunsets at the Moose

What a gem this was! We were so impressed and happy as soon as we walked in the door to Moose Cottage! It was very clean and the the open floor plan is perfect for families. The furnishings are comfortable yet easy to care for which is very important with young children coming in and out all day. My boys, ages 5 and 10, had such a fun time playing on the beach and swimming- they were very sad to leave! The cottage was also very well equipped with puzzles, games, movies and books to entertain the kids at night and on rainy days. For the adults the sunsets were the most beautiful you could ask for and the peaceful sounds of the waves on the beach made it a truly relaxing place to stay. We would not hesitate to stay here again and look forward to doing so one day :)
