Arnie's Arts & Crafts 3741 West Houghton Lake Drive, Houghton Lake, MI 48629

"Arnie's never fails to deliver. I always find what I'm looking for and a good deal more, too. Good quality materials and a wide variety of supplies. The staff are usually pleasant; one or two prefer their regulars and it shows."

"This place has so many craft items, it very likely would have anything you are looking for. It was very hard not to pick up 2 or 3 new hobbies while there. I don't know if it was just the time of season or the day of the week we went in but it was fairly picked over, a lot of empty spots in the shelves. Some of the prices were a little high but worth it to support local business. I definitely recommend, if you are a crafter, to save up some money or remortgage your house before you go in there because you will be tempted to buy the whole store."

"I wanted wool to make a silvery winter scarf with sleeves. I found the perfect color. Alpaca, wool and a little acrylic. Had to grab a scented candle to create the right environment. Pomegranate, leather and tea. Perfect. Plus the ladies at the checkout were personable and relatable. After all, we had all ordered pizza on Friday night. Buccillis of course!"

"Great store and helpful staff for all of your crafting/hobby/gift ideas! Clothing department allows you to customize shirts! They have lots of Michigan-made products, even snacks and other food items. The store is huge, and you’ll probably find something you didn’t even know you needed!"

"There is a huge assortment of craft supplies here. There is something for everything. Check the sale tables for good deals. Great sasquatch and yeti merch with good displays. Soft chairs by the checkout in case you need a break from all of the walking you will do here."
