My entire family ranging from 4 months old to 65 years old vacationed at Lakemore Retreat. We had the pleasure of renting the entire Retreat which included The Cabin, Cottage and Lodge so we enjoyed the gorgeous view of Arbutus Lake from all angles and all 3 homes were very well kept, and supplied with anything you would ever need to vacation with; from S’more sticks and lighters to all kitchen supplies, bathroom soaps/shampoos to linens and beach towels. The Retreat is placed wonderfully on the lake to where you get to see the sunset every night and it also gives the beach extra warmth after dinner for the kids to take a little swim with the sun shining on you. When you read “luxury” in the listing, they truly mean it. We can not express how wonderful all of the accommodations were. Having small children on this vacation was not a hiccup at all because they went above and beyond providing pack-n-plays all set up and ready the moment you walked in the door, high chairs and they even had baby toys. Tricia and her staff were super helpful, kind and welcoming. Any questions my family had they were quick to respond. Staff members would come in the morning to make sure the grounds were as gorgeous as the day we arrived and were quick, quiet and super friendly. We honestly were halfway into our vacation and ready to book again! If you are looking for a wonderful place that is just steps away from the beachfront to the lake, this is the place to be. Fun and safe for all ages.

I have nothing but positive things to say about Lakemore Retreat and Tricia. Beautiful properties with thoughtful details and amenities. Highly recommend.

Everything about this experience was special. The grounds, the staff, the houses. The property manager Trish is very attentive. We for sure would stay here again.

Beautiful property, beautiful house. Our group very much enjoyed our stay

We recently rented all 3 properties to host our families for a small backyard wedding. The homes really are as gorgeous, clean and well kept as the pictures. They are incredible properties and we felt fortunate to be able to stay and hold our wedding there. The lake is also beautiful and we enjoyed the views and had fun using the kayaks and stand up paddle boards. A great time was had by all and any rental property we stay in afterwards is going to pale in comparison! Tricia also helped with several, several questions around the wedding leading up to it (even gave suggestions on vendors, salons, etc.) and was key in helping to get the tables and lighting set up the day of. She is very well organized and helped things to run smoothly. We are so excited to be heading back soon for an anniversary trip! Thanks for letting us stay in your lovely homes - we would highly recommend to all!

We rented all three homes for 5 families during our stay. This property is absolutely beautiful. There are a few things to know though before you book. The owner’s family does live next-door and there are people on the property every morning—with blowers cleaning flowers, leaves, etc as early as 8am. They takes great pride in their property but to the extent that we felt uncomfortable and worried constantly about the kids making a mess or not putting the outdoor dishes back in the right house. Also quiet time starts at 10 PM. In June it was still light at 10 PM. After the kids went to bed we were so excited to finally have time for the adults to sit together and relax at the campfire but were texted immediately that our laughing was too loud as it carries over the lake and disturbs neighbors. Also there’s a no wake on the lake after 7:30 PM and before 11 AM. This does allow for peaceful kayaking but isn’t great if you are renting a boat. The other thing to note is the bathroom situation. There is one bathroom attached to the master and one more basically for the rest of the guests in the lodge and cottage. There is a bathroom in the basement however due to it’s lack of proximity to the bedrooms it doesn’t get used much. Again these homes are impeccably kept and gorgeous. We did enjoy ourselves and the property is beautiful but we do wish it would have felt a little more relaxing and private.
