Things to Do in the Brighton Howell Area

A First Timer’s Guide to Things to do in the Brighton Howell Area

As a born and raised Michigander, I’ve traveled across the mitten state countless times, but somehow, the charming towns of Brighton, Howell and Pinckney eluded me.  

Intrigued by the earlier two’s reputation for walkable downtowns, unique shops, and vibrant local culture, I decided it’s time to explore this uncharted territory (for us!).  

Join us as  I share my first-timer’s impressions of these three gems, nestled in a region steeped in history and natural beauty.  From exploring the bustling streets of Howell’s National Historic District to discovering the hidden treasures of Brighton’s Mill Pond, I’ll uncover the distinct character of each town and offer tips for fellow Michiganders seeking a fresh adventure.

Getaway to Lakeside Chautauqua: A Place to Renew Your Mind, Body and Spirit

Looking for a quintessential summer vacation spot for you and your family within the Midwest? For almost 150 years, Lakeside Chautauqua has been entertaining family vacationers from across the country to experience what President Theodore Roosevelt described is “the most American thing in America.” This caught my eye when planning my family’s summer travel plans so I booked a gateway to Lakeside Chautauqua in Lakeside, Ohio for us to experience it for ourselves.

Best Getaway on Lake Huron: Lake Huron Shores Cottage

What is the best getaway on Lake Huron? Hmmm, that’s the thought I asked myself as I sat down at the end of last year to plan out my family’s travel adventures for this year. As I pulled up Google Maps musing over where we should go next, my eyes darted to the northeastern lower peninsula along Lake Huron. This is an area we don’t visit near enough. It’s a bit of a hidden gem for even us!

We ended up booking a charming two bedroom cottage right on Lake Huron with its own private beach through Enjoy Unique Stays. And planning our getaway was a breeze as there are so many scenic and beautiful attractions a short drive away.
