Applewood Lodge: Private A-Frame with Hot Tub Near Saugatuck & Lake Michigan

Escape to Applewood Lodge, a peaceful and private Michigan A-frame cabin surrounded by tall trees — just 3 minutes (1.7 miles) from Pier Cove Beach on Lake Michigan, known for amazing sunsets and beach rock hunting. This secluded one-acre retreat feels hidden away yet sits close to Fennville, Saugatuck, Douglas, Holland, and South Haven — perfect for exploring wineries, cider houses, farm markets, art galleries, and local dining.

Whether you’re planning a romantic couple’s getaway or a group vacation with friends, Applewood Lodge offers space, comfort, and that true “up north” feeling without the long drive.

After a day on the beach or wine tasting along the Lake Michigan Shore Wine Trail, unwind in the private five-person hot tub under twinkle lights, or gather by the firepit for starlit conversation. Play yard games like cornhole and bocce, or head to the garage game room featuring an air hockey table, sofa, and TV.

Inside, the spacious living room invites you to relax with a large sectional sofa and Roku Smart TV. The well-equipped kitchen includes quality cookware, coffee and tea provided, and a large dining table for eight — ideal for shared meals and game nights.

Sleep comfortably in three inviting bedrooms:

Master (Main Floor): King bed + ensuite bath with walk-in tiled shower

Bedroom 2 (Upstairs): Queen bed

Bedroom 3 (Upstairs): Full bed, twin bed & folding sleeper chair

Pack-and-play and high chair provided

A second full bath (main floor) includes a tub/shower combo — perfect for rinsing off after the beach. You’ll also have washer & dryer with laundry pods, central air conditioning, and high-speed WiFi (120 Mbps) for total convenience.

Start your morning coffee on the deck overlooking the private wooded backyard, where sunlight filters through the trees. Spend the afternoon exploring Fenn Valley Winery (4 mi), Virtue Cider (3.5 mi), or downtown Saugatuck and Douglas (5 mi). Each season brings its own charm — from spring blossoms and summer beach days to fall colour tours and cozy winter nights in the hot tub.
