About this property
Hidden Gem w/Hot Tub - just steps from Downtown!
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.
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. It’s a space you’ll remember—and want to return to.
Guest access
You will enjoy full and private access to the entire property during your stay. The house has keyless entry and we'll send you the code the day before your arrival.

Hosted by Chad DuPont
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.
