The Challenge:

Furniture That Withstands the Seasons

Owners Dean and Tricia Adams designed each home with its own private patio, plus multiple shared spaces and docks with uninterrupted views of Arbutus Lake's sparkling waters. They sought high-design furnishings that could handle the northern Michigan climate, complement their unique aesthetic, and deliver lasting comfort to guests.

“We see ice, snow, wind, rain, extreme heat—we see it all,” Tricia explained, knowing they needed furniture that could cope with the elements.
The POLYWOOD Solution:

Outdoor Performance, Indoor-Worthy Style

The Adams chose POLYWOOD for its all-season durability and timeless designs—perfect for enduring Michigan’s ever-changing weather and style that stays relevant across decades.

Genuine POLYWOOD™ lumber withstands years of exposure and frequent use, while requiring minimal maintenance. This simplifies turnover between guests and extends replacement cycles.

And with longevity comes lasting appeal. Our relaxed lounge and dining designs fit with Adams’ carefully curated aesthetic. “It’s the nostalgic look,” Tricia said of our furniture. “But it’s practical, it’s easy to maintain, and we’re not going to have to repaint them every year.”

Results That Speak for Themselves

Every detail at Lakemore Retreat and Resort reflects a commitment to thoughtful design and lasting quality. The Adams found a partner in POLYWOOD that supports their dedication season after season.
