Descend into The Fox Den—a secluded retreat with hot tub carved into the hillside and perched above a wooded ravine. This fully updated home offers an experience unlike anything else in the Saugatuck-Douglas area. Just three blocks from downtown, it feels worlds away. Surrounded by trees and filled with light, it blends modern comfort with nature’s calm. Unplug, unwind, and soak in the quiet—then stroll to galleries, shops, and restaurants nearby. Cozy, captivating, and completely unforgettable.
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 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.

This property was absolutely amazing. The views were beautiful and the property was very clearly well maintained. It truly was steps from downtown. The communication and check in process was simple and easy. We can’t wait to book our next stay there.
We had the opportunity for a quick get away to the Saugatuck/Douglas area from Chicago. Our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 kids (6 and 8)) chose the Fox Den property on a whim and it was the best choice we could’ve made. The property was so unique. It felt like we were tucked away on our own private retreat. The house was immaculately maintained and we loved the record player and expansive deck that allowed us to relax and recharge. The owners thought of everything here and the little touches were perfect (coffee bar, spices, local craft drinks.) this house was walking distance to ice cream and lunch spots and a 5 minute drive to shops, restaurants, beaches, etc. The hot tub was lovely tucked up under the trees and the fire pit was also a great bonus. We will definitely get back for an adults only trip but the kids said “it was the coolest house ever.”
I’m passionate about travel, hospitality, and design, and I’ve spent years creating spaces where guests feel truly at home. Every property is thoughtfully curated to be clean, comfortable, and inspiring, with personal touches that reflect the local character. After 20 wonderful years in San Francisco, I’ve returned to the Midwest and now call beautiful Saugatuck home—where I love sharing insider tips to help guests experience the area like a local.
