Read the listing carefully for water access. 'Near lake' and 'lakefront' are very different. Also ask if the water is swimmable and whether there is a dock or public access.

Fall River, Lake Echo and Porters Lake areas can be good depending on what kind of stay you want. They feel closer to normal life than remote vacation land, but that can be convenient.
Look around the Hubbards and St. Margarets Bay side, but filter specifically for lakefront. Some listings market the area beautifully but are not actually on the water.
