Looking for reviews? Refer to the hundreds we've received over the last few years at Lakemore Retreat. 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 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, 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. 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

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 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.

Amazing weekend away
This resort was amazing. Everything was sparkling clean and ready for us when we arrived. They offered food concierge and would check in via text every morning to make sure everything was running smoothly. This place has comfortable beds, a large kitchen, beautiful views, and a hot tub. Perfect for adults getting together with friends and family!

The perfect place for a large group.
The houses are new and very nice. The layout was perfect for entertaining a large group and, even though we were split up into separate houses, the other members of our group didn't seem too far away. There are not a lot of places that can accommodate such a large group and this did it comfortably. The hot tube is a great feature that we took full advantage of. It was perfect for the cold and snowy weather. I also got to chat with the maintenance guy a bit who was very nice, eager to help when we had questions, and spoke very highly of the owners. Even though we probably wouldn't swing the cost for summer rates, it was a perfect winter getaway for the price. We hope to rent here again in the future.

The houses are beautiful
We had a few families together for New Years. We skied, sledded played games, hot tubbed and had a few great meals in Traverse City and in the kitchen of the green house. The house had everything we needed, and the hot tub was awesome. Would love to come back in the summer. Great place!! tons of room and the hosts were very responsive

Fabulous Family Reunion Venue
Everything about this property is top notch: cleanliness, location, decor, and amenities. My family was so impressed they didn't want to leave. The owners were extremely responsive to any questions and all staff was so friendly. I have rented dozens of properties on VRBO and these were the highest quality of all homes I've experienced.

Couples weekend
We were a party of 12 and really enjoyed our stay. The place was clean and serene! We enjoyed the hot tub. Our only issues were with the grill - heat distribution was not great for a semi new, built-in grill. It should also be cleaned between rentals for the rental fee. The hot tub lights were not working. The resort was quick to clean away bugs in the am and answer all questions. Check in was seamless. Directions on use for temperature control for house vs sunroom, hot tub temperature control and smart features, music, etc. would be helpful in addition to the WIFI/check in/out info.
