The state of Michigan, which in the Ojibwe language means “large water”, is right on the border with Canada to the north, and is home to some of the most gorgeous lakes and the top hiking and trekking spots. French fur traders and explorers were the first Europeans to observe the area and in the 17th century, it was declared as part of New France. In 1762, it went under British control until the Revolutionary War, when the new country of the United States claimed the territory. These days the state has a burgeoning tourist industry, with people heading to lake Michigan every summer or to Detroit, the state’s largest city. Michigan has tons to offer, whether you’re into culture and history or want to spend some time by the lake. And, if you wish for more private swim sessions, stay at a rental with a swimming pool. Read on to learn about the best vacation rentals with private pools in Michigan.
