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 (firewood provided) 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 color tours and cozy winter nights in the hot tub.

Very clean. Spacious. Dining area stools quite uncomfortable…..but cute. . Beds comfy. Kinda hot upstairs. Tourist info found in drawer the day we left. lol. Good thing we brought our own. Hot tub terrific. Firepit had huge hole in bottom and burning logs fell through. But a two tiered fire looked great. We were surprised that 124th ave was actually m89! Lotsa road noise when we were outside. Had the police pull over someone in front of the house. Lights flashing. It was better to just stay inside. But the house is adorable. We probably wouldn’t have stayed here if we knew it was on m89. But we enjoyed our stay. But probably won’t return. Sorry. Only because we like more quiet and secluded locations. Otherwise was a really nice place to stay. Thank you.

This unique looking home was surprisingly spacious. It was very clean with comfortable beds, and the hot tub was also great. This is a terrific place to stay for visiting Saugatuck, Douglas, Fennville, and a short drive to other beach coast towns. Excellent communication from the host.

Very clean and cozy. Great location for privacy, yet convenient for traveling to South Haven, Saugatuk, and Holland for shopping and dining. The garage interior was a nice surprise with air hockey, smart TV, and all you need for beach visits. We enjoyed our stay.

Perfect Quiet Getaway House

This was an AMAZING place to stay for a girls trip. The house was super clean and very well stocked (kitchen equipment, cleaning supplies, toiletries, extra blankets). We loved the hot tub and the fire pit! The location is perfectly positioned too. It’s quiet and close enough to breweries, vineyards, and town. 10000/10 would stay again!!

Comfortable, clean and cozy

We loved our stay at Holly’s property! The house was perfectly clean and well appointed. The beds were comfortable, showers had good pressure and the hot tub was clean and roomy enough for all three of us. We were within 15/20 minutes of gorgeous Saugatuck Dunes State Park, Downtown Saugatuck, Douglas and Fenville. We will be coming back for sure!!

Cozy Corner

The home was clean, modern and also very welcoming. There was minor decor for the season that added a pleasant touch. The hot tub seemed clean and I was grateful it was running and hot when we arrived. The property was lovely overall and what i had anticipated. Communications with the owner were friendly and prompt. We didnt experience any issues. It was the exact escape from the city life we had hoped for. Highly recommended for a break from life!

Fabulous A-Frame in a Great Location

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay in the A-Frame. The location was perfect - close to Saugatuck and Fennville but also out of the way and SO private. Checking in was a breeze. It’s on a busier road, but the traffic noise honestly was very minimal and didn’t bother us at all. We loved how close the A-frame was to the local wineries and a variety of restaurants. Highly recommend Pizza Quest and Salt of the Earth in Fennville and Modales winery and Waypost Brewing. The space in the A-frame was super comfortable and modern. The bed was very comfortable, shower was really nice, hot tub was great, and we loved having beach chairs/umbrella and a grill to use. Holly was a tremendous host - super responsive whenever we needed something, and also provided great recommendations! A couple very minor suggestions - blinds on the back door to block out the sun (though privacy isn’t an issue since the back neighbor is a literal corn field) and some plastic cups to use in the hot tub. Overall we loved our stay and can’t wait to visit again! Thanks for a great home base for our trip to Michigan.
