Clare is literally “Where the North begins” as it lies at the center of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula where its vacation rentals enjoy the vivid colors of autumn which northern Michigan is most famous for. Lakes and streams abound for fishing and boating and the area has many top notch golf courses and hiking trails to enjoy recreations in the splendor of Clare’s scenic beauty.
There are many cottage houses, log cabins and other vacation rentals in thick woods or the lakeshores to enjoy a holiday across all seasons. Autumn’s glory makes you revel in the resplendent colors with a picnic at the ideal grounds of Clare Memorial Park while summer entails fishing, boating and water sports over the lakes to hiking trails across abundant State forests which are equally adept for snowmobiling trails in the plentiful winter snow. Indulging in the recreations of natural treasures apart, golfers will love Clare’s oldest golf course - Firefly Golf Links - with 18-holes, rolling woodlands and water on 13 holes. The charming town of Gladwin is within a few minutes’ drive and has many more spectacular golf courses.
Clare also is Amish Country and the town’s Irish milieu holds a not-to-be-missed gala celebration of St. Patrick’s Day every March; there are many other interesting festivals such as the Clare Main Street Car Show for 4-wheeled vintage beauties. Downtown Clare has antiquity shops and has Ideal Theater - Clare County’s oldest movie theater - for a must-see old fashioned blockbuster screening; and if this is not enough then there is even a large Midwest casino to indulge in! So clear all your doubts and head straight to Clare vacation rentals for a fun-filled holiday retreat l
