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. The Essentials: - Fully equipped kitchen - High-speed Wi-Fi - Smart TV and fireplace - Washer and dryer - Air conditioning and heat - Ample parking - A Tranquil Lakeshore Getaway Whether you’re here to unwind, explore, or reconnect, The Fox Den gives you a rare combination of modern comfort, total privacy, and proximity to everything that makes the Saugatuck-Douglas area special.

A beautiful home. The location is peaceful and private, The deck is as advertised, and it is amazing. It is just a short walk to restaurants and shops in Douglas. Chad and David provided a comprehensive list of recommendations including grocers, restaurants, places to get a drink and other helpful suggestions for those, like me, unfamiliar with the area. It is obvious they took great care to ensure their guests have a wonderful time, and we did. I hope to return someday soon.

The house was wonderful! Chad was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed. The house manual was also great and really well thought out. We used several of their recommendation and they were all great. House was super clean and the deck was beautiful. Would recommend to anyone and would definitely stay again! Thanks!

This spot was beautiful and relaxing. Very walkable into town and loved the view from the deck and hot tub. The shower struggled to drain, but otherwise had a wonderful stay. The kitchen is also great- very spacious and everything we needed.

Loved the vibe of this place; it was very beautifully updated, and in such a serene setting. We enjoyed the hot tub at night, when you could see so many stars - and even a shooting star! For a family of three, we had more than enough space. We would love to come back when the outdoors is lush and spend more time outside, as we can imagine it must be gorgeous!
