Lakefront Applegate Retreat w/ Private Beach!

The pros of the property out weight the cons. The home is functional and beautiful. We loved, loved the view of Lake Huron. Lake Huron's water was warmer and much cleaner than anticipated. We had 8 adults and 2 infants under 1 year old. I would not recommend this home if you have a walking toddler as there are a lot of steps everywhere. The huge island in the kitchen was a perfect gathering area. The bonus game room was a great surprise and even had an extra full refrigerator which we needed so that was great! The cons would be the amount of bugs in the home for sure. I realize it's probably due to being so close to the lake, but maybe have it sprayed? We were warned about the steps getting down to the beach, and luckily we are all in good shape and it was a welcomed work out, lol. But the very last step was a pretty dangerous drop down. My guess is the last step keeps getting washed out by the lake; but wanted to mention it in case. All and all we would recommend this home!!

Great home for our family. Well stocked kitchen, pool table, and gas grill. Unfortunately hurricane Beryl came thru while we were there and prevented us from spending time on the lake. Overall, lovely home.

Every thing we could use it was there we really got our goal out of it

We had a truly great time at this home. We enjoyed sitting outside on the deck every day and enjoying the view. Just a notice to anyone booking, the steps to the beach (especially the last set) are steep. The last set of steps are more like a ladder with a rope. We were not prepared for that. Also, there are security cameras watching the outside of the home, so we did feel like our privacy was invaded. It did feel weird knowing that someone could be watching us while we were sitting on the deck or having a bonfire. We did not see this anywhere in the description. Other than that, this home was really great and we enjoyed our stay

This home has a gorgeous view. There is lots to do in this home. The pool table in the garage was so fun! We used the grill and the large fire pit every night. The house is close to the main street, so you will hear the traffic. I gave it 4 stars for cleanliness because the first day we were there, there were many cobwebs we found and cleaned up. The kind of cobwebs that you know have been around for a while. Also it's all hard floors and our socks were pretty dirty. Other than that, it was rather clean. They have a great coffee setup if you love coffee!! You cannot beat the view and the outside deck. It was so peaceful and beautiful. We would definitely stay hear again if we are in the area.
