Traverse City Lakemore Resort, New Luxury Lakefront Home on Arbutus Lake
You have found the listing for The Blue House at the all-new Lakemore Resort, one of 9 Lakemore properties on beautiful Arbutus Lake in Traverse City! If you don't see availability at this home, please inquire with us to see if one of our other homes is.
When selecting colors for each Lakemore Resort home, we couldn't resist choosing a beautiful light blue which reminds of us the Cabins from Mac's Landing, the 1940's era resort that hosted guests on this land for over 60 years. Lakemore Blue features a beautiful compilation of colorful tile and elegant style. All Lakemore Resort homes feature an open concept Kitchen, Dining, 4 seasons screened porch, and main level living room. Views from Arbutus Lake are featured in all the main living areas, and new leather furniture will provide the perfect seat to take it all in. Lakemore Blue has the southernmost position on the property, with an acre of hardwoods further dividing it from neighbors. You can enjoy the view of the woods and lake in the private hot tub. Floor Plans are available on our website www.LakemoreResort.com and also in the photo gallery.

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 paddleboarding, 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 2020/21Bennington 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.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Perfect!
We gathered to enjoy quality family time in honor of my sister’s 40th birthday and my mom’s upcoming retirement. The house was stocked with everything we needed, each family had their own space, and the property is beautiful! Communication leading up to and during our stay was timely and informative. Highly recommend!
