These homes were all built, designed, and managed by Dean and Tricia Adams- owners of Bay Area Contracting, BAC Design Group, and Co-Owners of all Lakemore vacation properties. The Retreat has been in business since 2015 and has hosted over 350 families in 5 years. In those 5 years, we have only ever received 5-star reviews, and our summer calendar is booked solid nearly a year in advance. Lakemore Retreat properties are listed here: Lakemore Lodge (VRBO Listing #655085) Lakemore Cottage (VRBO Listing #653686) This specific listing is for ONE home with a large outdoor patio and 10' hot tub that is open all year. The Resort is located on 11 acres and 850 feet of sandy waterfront property on the western shore of Arbutus Lake in Traverse City, MI. The property has been a lakefront resort for decades, but in 2020 the entire property was re-developed (with all new infrastructure) in a way that preserved as many of the original trees and landscape as possible. Phase 1 construction started on the north end of the property with three 3 newly built Luxury Vacation homes. While each home has the same amenities and floor plan, they will each carry with them a different interior design. Each House in Lakemore Resort offers these amenities: 3,100 square feet 4 bedrooms, average occupancy 8 guests, contact us for more info on sleeping 1 King, main level, common bath w/ shower adjacent 2 Queens, upper level, common full bath adjacent 1 Queen, upper level, attached bath w/ shower 2 sitting rooms upstairs 1 rec room, lower level, common bath with shower adjacent 4 baths: 1 bath w/ shower, main level 1 full bath, upper level 1 bath w/ shower, upper level 1 bath w/ shower, lower level Free Wi-Fi Smart Home w/ central sound and scene lighting Well Equipped Kitchen Kitchenette w/ Full-size Fridge and Dishwasher (Lower Level) Laundry Room Great Room w/ Leather furniture, Cable & Smart TV and Electric Fireplace 4 Season Screened Porch w/ heated floor, gas fireplace Lower Level Family Room w/ Cable & Smart TV, Leather Sectional Couch Arbutus Lake is a nearly 400 acre inland lake that hosts swimmers from May through October. Made up of 5 smaller lakes, all connected by channels, many refer to each section of the lake by numbers 1-5. Lakemore Resort is located on the western shore of Lake 2 (the largest of the 5 lakes), on some of the most naturally sandy areas on the entire lake. Sunrise views from the screened porches, with a cup of coffee, will be a must. Guests will enjoy a sandy bottom and a gradually increasing depth, which provides the perfect play area for kids and young swimmers. Arbutus is an all-sports lake big enough for skiing and tubing, but small enough to enjoy the calm waters for stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, and fishing. Rental of a Lakemore Resort home includes the use of SUP boards, kayaks, and rowboats. Onsite boat rental is also available through Lakemore which offers 2020 Bennington Tri-toons ( 21 ft SLX (23” 9”) 140 HP) The boats are kept under the canopy, on our dedicated Lakemore Resort docks. Lakemore Resort very close to The Brown Bridge Quiet Area which offers miles of hiking trails. Like to snowmobile? We are in close proximity to Boardman Valley Trail System's 81 miles of trails! Boardman River is also within 3 miles, a great place to do river tubing, kayaking, canoeing, and fishing. We are only 7 mi. from Vasa Single Track, a great Mountain Bike trail system. In addition, the Vasa is home to 25 km of groomed cross-country trails. Mount Holiday is only 15 minutes away, a local downhill ski hill that also offers snow tubing and zip-lining. Crystal Mountain Ski Resort is only 30 miles away. This setting is perfect for relaxing lakefront vacationing away from the hustle of town, but be sure to leave time for a short 15-minute drive to the city. Traverse City is well known for its lakefront, with countless shops and restaurants. The greater Traverse City Area is nationally recognized for Old Mission Peninsula and the Leelanau Peninsula's many wineries, as well as the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Ski - Close to skiing ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Electric car charging station on site - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Kitchenette - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 4 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Outdoor shower - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Games - Music library - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Wheelchair accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Safe ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - Near the bay - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Boat - Kayak - Snow sports gear - Water sports equipment - Casino nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Sledding nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Electric car charging station - Garden - Property located in a resort ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/61000000/60060000/60059600/60059509/87f89dbe.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Traverse City Lakemore Resort, New Luxury Lakefront Home on Arbutus Lake Traverse City - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 12 reviews CA $1,011 CA $2,052 total includes taxes & fees Nov 20 - Nov 21 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-20&endDate=2025-11-21&selected=60059509&PinnedHotelID=60059509&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/67000000/66420000/66413300/66413261/d5b098db.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Traverse City Lakemore Resort, New Luxury Lakefront Home on Arbutus Lake Traverse City - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 11 reviews CA $1,011 CA $2,052 total includes taxes & fees Nov 11 - Nov 12 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-11&endDate=2025-11-12&selected=66413261&PinnedHotelID=66413261&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/27000000/26940000/26933800/26933709/12f94128.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Newly Built Luxury Lakefront Lodge With Sandy Beach,Kayak/SUPs, Dock Traverse City - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 95 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-24&endDate=2025-11-25&selected=26933709&PinnedHotelID=26933709&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, fireplace](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99540000/99535200/99535122/w1024h672x0y6-b9b720b3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Luxury Lodge overlooking both Grand Traverse Bays Traverse City - Pool - Hot tub - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 9.8 Exceptional 13 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-24&endDate=2025-11-25&selected=99535122&PinnedHotelID=99535122&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101570000/101564500/101564498/08afd847.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### All Sports Silver Lake/Hot Tub/Kayaks/Game room Traverse City - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 11 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-24&endDate=2025-11-25&selected=101564498&PinnedHotelID=101564498&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99670000/99664700/99664610/cead2435_edited_1a81.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### TC Lake House w/Hot Tub, Pontoon, & Game Room!
