Arnett'S Resort

Most of the homes out here sit on double lots, which means genuine breathing room—the kind of space where you're not counting fence posts between neighbors. Mill Lake defines the neighborhood; it's a 100-acre all-sports lake with deeded access from many properties, sandy beaches, and enough room for swimming, fishing, and the full menu of water sports. Cottages tend toward two bedrooms with fresh decks overlooking the water, the interiors recently renovated to live-and-breathe-easy standards. You're about 1.3 miles from dining, and Twin Lakes sits virtually on the doorstep at a tenth of a mile, which makes for an easy morning walk if you're into that. The nearest nearby amenities include Long Lake Boating Access Site, roughly 1.4 miles out. Getting to Gerald R. Ford airport runs just under an hour, so weekend getaways don't require a pre-dawn departure.
