Lakemore Retreat is comprised of two rental properties: 'Lakemore Lodge', and 'Lakemore Cottage', side by side homes on the shores of Arbutus Lake. Pictured here, with the green exterior, is Lakemore Cottage. Lakemore Lodge is the red house. The Cottage and Lodge are luxury homes built in 2015 that each sleep 12, but no more. They are side by side and offer exactly the same amenities and floor plan, just with very different interior design.

The properties are rented individually, but many families rent both for the same time period, altogether sleeping up to 24 people comfortably. Make reservations for Lakemore Cottage here and look for Lakemore Lodge (VRBO Listing #655085) For large groups, you can rent both by going to listing (VRBO#7566523)

Arbutus Cabin is also next door, and available for additional occupancy. While independently owned and operated, we are cooperative with eachother to host groups needing more space. www.vrbo.com/3424820

The Cottage is timeless and classic. Steps from the beach, this clean and bright lakeside home offers majestic views of the lake during any season. This efficient open floor plan includes vaulted ceilings with post and beam details, a warm and cozy stone fireplace and an airy screened porch dining area adjacent to a vintage style kitchen. In the cooler months, the screen porch has heated tile floor, making it enjoyable all year round. The Cottage will give you a sense of nostalgia, rekindling memories of vacations from your childhood.

Come enjoy the many benefits of this all sports inland lake where the 395 acres are swimmable from May until October, the fishing is plentiful and the conditions are perfect for many water sports including kayaking, stand up paddle-boarding, water skiing and tubing, all while being minutes away from Traverse City’s restaurants, shops, wineries, golf and more. On-site tri-toon rental is available within the Lakemore brand.

Lakemore Retreat is directly adjacent to The Brown Bridge Quiet Area which offers miles of hiking trails. Like to snowmobile? Leave right from the property and access 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.

Excellent cottage
We had a great time. The cottage is absolutely as advertised. It is very clean and has everything you need. The property manager helped us out to plow and salt when a heavy snow storm came. A great time for all ages, we will be back.

Wonderful house
Fantastic house on a great very clean and clear lake. We had 10 people from 5 months to 70 years. All had a great time. We had a couple of questions and never waited more than a few minutes for an answer. Had a blast on the provided kayaks and paddle boards. Only thing that would have made it better is if we could have stayed longer.

This is the place you're looking for
Our group of 11 friends and fam had the most lovely time at Lakemore "cottage". There is no shortage of things to do around the property as it sits on a beautiful lake. We enjoyed grilling, hot tubing and kayak after long days of hiking. Sleeping, cooking and bathing accommodations were 1st class and and we had plenty of space to spread out! So many well thought details went into these properties, very impressive. A group of friends rented the neighboring "lodge" and they had just as pleasant of a stay. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Tricia Adams

Host profile image
We are Dean and Tricia Adams, both Northern Michigan natives. Dean is owner of Bay Area Contracting, a highly regarded custom home builder/ general contractor in the Traverse City area. Tricia is a Neonatal ICU nurse. We both love to travel, which means we know what people want in a vacation property. Also, we live on the lake, which means we built these homes with all the ammenities and conveniences desired by anyone living or vacationing on a lake.

Why they chose this property

Arbutus Lake is a special place, we know this because we live here. It's an all sports lake with a public boat launch. Arbutus is great for high speed boating, yet it still offers the quiet serenity of a small lake. Even the busiest days on Arbutus don't compare to the craziness of a regular summer day on the more populated inland lakes of the Traverse City area.

What makes this property unique

This property (containing two lots) was appealing for us to invest in because of our ability to build two homes side by side and because of they offer direct lake access. Many lots on Arbutus Lake are up high and require stairs and long winding pathways to reach the lake. Lakemore Retreat is at lake level and the walk to the sandy beach is as easy as it gets.
