Mud Lake

Indianhead Lake gets all the attention around here, but the real draw is the quieter water just north of Greenville—a private 37-acre lake where the sunsets apparently live up to the hype, and where 112 feet of frontage on a half-acre lot means you're buying actual solitude, not a postage stamp. Year-round homes and summer cottages alike sit on multiple lots with metal roofs and fresh mechanicals, the kind of setup that signals someone wasn't messing around when they renovated. The area sits about an hour and twenty minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, close enough for a real life but far enough that the only traffic sounds are pontoon engines and the occasional kayak paddle.
