Luxury Lakefront Cottage | With Sandy Beach, Hot Tub, SUP, & Dock

"Lakemore Cottage"

Nestled on the pristine shores of Arbutus Lake in Traverse City, The Cottage at Lakemore Retreat is a newly built luxury lakefront haven that boasts a sandy beach, a soothing hot tub, stand-up paddleboards, and a private dock. If availability is limited, their sister property, Lakemore Resort, offers additional options for a truly tailored getaway.

Lakemore Retreat is comprised of two distinct rental properties: 'Lakemore Lodge' (also on Third Home) and this listing, 'Lakemore Cottage". Situated side by side, offering equal luxury and accommodating up to 12 guests each. Families seeking ample space and shared experiences often rent both, creating an inviting space for groups of up to 24. Lakemore Cottage, with its timeless and classic design, boasts a clean and bright interior with vaulted ceilings, a cozy stone fireplace, and an inviting screened porch dining area that can be enjoyed year-round thanks to heated tile floors.

The Cottage exudes a sense of nostalgia, inviting you to reminisce about cherished childhood vacations. Arbutus Lake, an all-sports inland lake, offers year-round enjoyment with swimming, fishing, and various water sports such as kayaking, paddleboarding, water skiing, and tubing. Plus, on-site tri-toon rentals are available within the Lakemore brand. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to The Brown Bridge Quiet Area, featuring miles of hiking trails, while snowmobilers can hit the trails right from the property and access the Boardman Valley Trail System's 81 miles of trails. The Boardman River, just 3 miles away, is perfect for river tubing, kayaking, canoeing, and fishing.

Outdoor enthusiasts will find themselves in paradise, with Vasa Single Track's mountain bike trails a mere 7 miles away and the Vasa offering groomed cross-country trails. For winter activities, Mount Holiday, a local downhill ski hill with snow tubing and zip lining, is just 15 minutes away, while Crystal Mountain Ski Resort is a 30-mile drive.

While Lakemore Retreat provides a tranquil lakefront escape, it's only a short 15-minute drive to Traverse City, renowned for its lakefront charm, abundant shops, and restaurants. The greater Traverse City area is celebrated for Old Mission Peninsula, Leelanau Peninsula wineries, and the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park, promising a vacation filled with both relaxation and adventure.
