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. brbrSome other Lakemore Properties can be found on VRBO:brbrGreen/Navy: https://www.vrbo.com/2101562brbrBrown: https://www.vrbo.com/2119019brbrGray: https://www.vrbo.com/2257021brbrTeal/Black: https://www.vrbo.com/2257021brbrBlue: https://www.vrbo.com/2262024 brbrCottage: https://www.vrbo.com/653686brbrLodge: https://www.vrbo.com/655085brbrThis specific listing is for one home which shares a large 16' in-ground hot tub with one house next door, Lakemore Green. The hot tub is open year round. brbrThe 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. brbrEach House in Lakemore Resort offers these amenities:brbr3,100 square feetbr4 bedrooms, average occupancy 8 guests, **contact us for more info on sleeping br1 King, main level, common bath w/ shower adjacentbr2 Queens, upper level, common full bath adjacentbr1 Queen, upper level, attached bath w/ showerbr2 sitting rooms upstairsbr1 rec room, lower level, common bath with shower adjacentbr4 baths:br1 bath w/ shower, main levelbr1 full bath, upper levelbr1 bath w/ shower, upper levelbr1 bath w/ shower, lower levelbrbrbrFree Wi-FibrSmart Home w/ central sound and scene lightingbrWell Equipped KitchenbrKitchenette w/ Full-size Fridge and Dishwasher (Lower Level)brLaundry RoombrGreat Room w/ Leather furniture, Cable & Smart TV and Electric Fireplacebr4 Season Screened Porch w/ heated floor, gas fireplacebrLower Level Family Room w/ Cable & Smart TV, Leather Sectional CouchbrbrArbutus 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. brbrbr Lakemore Resort very close to The Brown Bridge Quiet Area which offers miles of hiking 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. brbrThis 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.
