You have found the listing for The Lodge at Lakemore Retreat, one of 9 Lakemore properties on beautiful Arbutus Lake in Traverse City! We hold license # 2019-0025 in East Bay Township. We if we don't have the availability you need, check out our brand new sister property, Lakemore Resort! (VRBO #2101562 and #2119019) Between all of our homes, we can work with you to accommodate many different group sizes. If you have any questions, please reach out to Tricia by sending an inquiry.

Lakemore Retreat is comprised of two rental properties: 'Lakemore Lodge' and 'Lakemore Cottage' all next door to each other on the shores of Arbutus Lake. Pictured here, with the red exterior, is Lakemore Lodge. Lakemore Cottage is the green 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 all three for the same time period, altogether sleeping up to 34 people comfortably. Make reservations for Lakemore Lodge here and look for Lakemore Cottage (VRBO Listing #653686) For large groups, you can rent both by going to listing (VRBO#7566523). In the winter, AWD or 4X4 vehicles are required to access the property.

The Lodge, a mirror image of the cottage’s floor plan with all the same amenities, takes on a dramatically different feel with rich walnut architectural detail and metal accents. This “industrial chic” style home will remind you of a mountainside lodge, yet the tranquil views of Arbutus Lake sunsets will make you glad you are vacationing in Northern Michigan.

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.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the house was lovely! We appreciate the attentiveness of the management company.

    We really enjoyed the house. It’s a beautiful home. We were a little disappointed that there was no hot tub. The VRBO listing showed a hot tub and all of the literature inside the house said there was a hot tub, as well. We intentionally booked a house with a hot tub, since we were coming in May for a soccer tournament and were expecting cold weather. Other than that, we were very happy with the house and had everything we needed.

    The morning of our first night, the fire alarm went off. I spent 30 mins, trying to disarm it. After texting and calling the contact #, I received a text back with multiple codes to try. One worked, but once disarmed it started again. It wouldn’t stop. The fire dept showed up during this and said there were several zones that triggered a carbon monoxide alarm. They said they couldn’t leave until the technician arrived . The tech showed up after 11am, he looked to be maybe 18 or 19 years old. We spent our whole morning dealing with this which delayed the start of our day. Before we left, I asked if we were good to leave and asked if he would lock up (which he did not). When I mentioned co2 to the other ladies in my group, shockingly, more than half of them woke that morning with a headache! they didn’t think anything of it until we had this discussion. Too much of a coincidence and very scary. All day I was a little nervous as I hadn’t heard from them for an update. I reached out after 6PM and the mgr said it was a combo of perfume and/or dirty detectors. If it was dirty detectors, why were multiple zones triggered? The fire dept said the alarms were triggered at 9:30AM. There was no perfume being sprayed at this time. Plus, never heard of perfume triggering a CO2 alarm. And this is a new build. The asst mgr was very apologetic, but I feel the mgr, who never once apologized, downplayed the situation a bit. The texting went on till almost 8PM. I didnt have a warm feeling

    Our family was seeking a quick fall weekend getaway and Lakemore Retreat exceeded our expectations. The Adams Family should be incredibly proud of the oasis they’ve built there on Arbutus Lake. The property is pristine. The lake is gorgeous. It’s close enough to have the conveniences of Traverse City, but far enough away to have silence and tranquility of Northern Michigan. Well done!

    Our time at this modern lakehouse, nestled along the beautiful lake, was truly delightful. The proximity to downtown Traverse City only enhanced the experience. Our bride-to-be wanted a relaxing getaway and this was an excellent choice. With its serene waterside location and comfortable accommodations for 10 guests, it promises a rejuvenating escape. The owner and the helper there were both great and made the process so easy. Highly recommend!

    I just graduated from Law School and I wanted to say thank you to my friends who got me through. It was the perfect location to introduce my friends to Northern Michigan. We spent half of our time hanging out at the house relaxing and the other half exploring the TC area. Perfect weekend!

    We had a wonderful stay over New Year’s weekend. The property was beautiful, clean, well-appointed and just as advertised. We especially enjoyed the use of the hot tub, grill and pool table during our stay. Check-in process went smoothly and we appreciated the personalized touch of being greeted by staff upon arrival. Tricia and staff responded quickly to questions and were very accommodating. Would highly recommend!
