Occupancy # 26 Guests (Adults & kids)
You have found the listing for The Green and Navy Houses at the all-new Lakemore Resort, 2 of 10 Lakemore properties on beautiful Arbutus Lake in Traverse City! While we do market Green and Navy together, if you are interested in renting just one of these homes, or if you don't see the availability you need, please inquire with us, there are likely other options. Our contact info can be found by searching LakemoreTC.
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:
This specific listing is for TWO homes, each with a large outdoor patio and sharing a large 16' in-ground hot tub open year round.
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. Still, 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. While each home has the same amenities and floor plan, they will each carry with them a different interior design.
*Please note, some outdoor amenities are not available year round due to Michigan weather.

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 paddle boarding, 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 is very close to The Brown Bridge Quiet Area, which offers miles of hiking trails. Like to snowmobile? We are in close proximity to the 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.
