Good to know

Once you arrive at The Fox Den, you'll see only a single entry door. Built into the hillside and hidden from view, the home gradually reveals itself as you descend the interior staircase. At the bottom, the space opens up into a warm, fully-renovated retreat with a wall of windows overlooking the wooded ravine. Once inside, you'll enter an open living and kitchen area, thoughtfully designed with cozy furnishings, a fireplace, and peaceful views through floor-to-ceiling windows. Continue down the hallway to find 2 Bedrooms with king beds, both offering direct access to the expansive deck through sliding glass doors. You'll also find a 3rd bedroom with a queen bed and daybed—ideal for kids, guests, or a quiet reading nook. The home features a unique bathroom layout: two half baths—each with its own toilet and sink—connected by one shared shower. The expansive deck outside is the standout feature - completely private and nestled in the trees. You'll find cozy areas for dining, lounging, and soaking up the views. Just around the corner is the secluded hot tub, offering a peaceful, tucked-away space to relax after a day of exploring. Though you’re just a few blocks from the heart of downtown Douglas, the home feels peaceful and remote—set on over an acre of wooded land and perched above a quiet ravine. Whether you're walking to art galleries and restaurants or spending the day in Saugatuck or at Oval Beach, The Fox Den offers the perfect balance of access and retreat.

We had the most wonderful girls’ weekend at this incredible house! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how unique and thoughtfully designed the space was. Every corner felt special, with so many little details that made the home stand out from anywhere we have stayed before. The layout was perfect for a group getaway, plenty of room to gather, laugh, and relax, but also cozy spaces when we wanted some quiet time. The kitchen was fully stocked and made cooking together easy and fun. The bedrooms were comfortable, beautifully decorated, and felt like a retreat. We especially loved sitting on the deck and enjoying the hot tub with stunning views. If you are looking for a one-of-a-kind home that’s perfect for creating memories with friends, this is it! We cannot recommend it enough and are already talking about coming back.

This was one of our favorite air bnbs! Chad left such easy clear instructions, place was beautiful and spotless. Loved the location, quick walk to downtown Douglas. The hot tub was a highlight. Overall, such a seamless stay. Beds were also extremely comfortable, it felt like being in a luxury hotel!

Location, Location, Location! The property feels secluded and peaceful, yet is only blocks from downtown shops and dining. 15 minutes (max) to several different beaches and a state park. Chad thought of everything - a well stocked kitchen with coffee and a few complimentary local beers, high quality linens and towels and complimentary toiletries that make traveling easy. We will definitely be back!

Our stay at the Fox Den was wonderful, and the house was a gorgeous mid-century modern with an enormous porch overlooking a dense forest. The hot tub got lots of use, and we were able to walk to most of our food/coffee/etc. thanks to the location. Can't wait for the next stay!

The very best Airbnb we have rented to date. Everything about it was "chef's kiss". The entrance was a little tricky to find only because we did not read the directions closely and it appeared to be a shed from the outside because the house is built underneath. So much thought was put into creating the space inside and outside the house. From the linens and bedding to the record waiting on the record player to the hidden hot tub. The king bed was super comfortable, the water pressure excellent - basically the whole experience was a welcome respite from the craziness at home. The professional online and physical brochure made finding restaurants or activities easy to find. 10 out of 10.

Absolutely a wonderful place to stay! Host is great (we chose this place because Chad hosted another B&B that we enjoyed, but it was booked), home is well stocked and the location is beautiful. We LOVED watching the deer come right along the deck outside. Absolutely recommend!
