Don't let the fact that you're in some of the country's most beautiful horse country fool you, there's plenty more to do in Metamora. Including too of Michigan's premier Hunting and Sportsman's Clubs, five award-winning golf courses, Hot Air Ballooning, fine chocolate shops, fine resident artist galleries, custom jewelry studios, unique dinning, shopping, hiking, biking, swimming, snowmobiling and more.
Of course, if you do want to do a tour of some of the most magnificent barns you’ll see anywhere, or learn to carriage drive, or take a dressage lesson, or school Cross Country, that too can be arranged. Or maybe you’d like to learn how to weave, or do yoga, or paint, or go to a farmers market, or a petting zoo, or take a historical tour of the area, or go on a helicopter ride? If so, this is also the place to do it. And with charming Oxford, Lake Orion, Lapeer and even Clarkston just a short drive away, the range of dining, shopping, and recreational options are enough to keep you happy and busy for weeks. Just take a look at some of the festivals throughout the year, and special attractions.
So come. Bring your horse. Bring your kids, friends and family. And enjoy a true getaway that’s little more than an hour away from Detroit – but a world apart.
