WELCOME TO THE HUDSON VALLEY! Spend a romantic, cozy weekend in front of a warm fireplace, enjoy a book at the lake, or a nap in the hammock. You have found your perfect, private retreat, a place to relax and enjoy the quiet. We are on 18 acres of woodlands, walking trails, pretty cottage gardens, as well as 275' of lake frontage.
We are on a private lake, motor boats are not permitted, allowing you to enjoy kayaking, paddle boating, fishing, or just floating around to your hearts content. Mallards, beavers, painted turtles, trout & small mouth bass, call this lake home. There are red fox, deer, red tailed hawks & owls, beautiful north eastern birds and eagles.
The Fox Den has a fully equipped kitchen with a full size oven & refrigerator. We also provide coffee, tea, pancake batter, syrup, cooking spices & oils.
A luxurious queen size bed with a lake view, and a private bath. A pergola covered, private patio with a gas grill, overlooking wildflowers and path to the lake. Your privacy is paramount to us (we respect that you are here for some R&R). We love it here, and know you will too.

Another perfect stay at this perfect studio: we have returned several times when visiting our Bard College kid, and know that we will be returning in the future, too. It's exceptionally comfortable, scenic, and thoughtfully laid-out. Highly recommended, as ever!
Absolutely stunning experience It was like we were in a fairy tale So picturesque!! It was so nice to have morning coffee down by the lake and enjoy the natural beauty Hearing all the Foxes at night while staying at the ‘Fox Den’ was so magical.Thank you so very much and we will be back!!

We had a wonderful, relaxing time. Beautiful spot. The property was very comfortable. I would stay there again.
This rental is exactly like the pictures, and even better in real life! The views of the lake and the rolling green hill were just beautiful (even in the rain). The location was easy for us to pop into town or explore nearby areas. We would definitely come back again!
What a beautiful view inside and outside in a quiet lake view location. Beautiful decor and view to the lake with a fireplace to warm you as the decor warms your heart. The owners are wonderful and reservation process easy.
We absolutely loved staying at Jeanne and Jim's charming home. The setting is perfection with a lake view, a patio for our use, and a charming rental unit with every amenity we could need. It was spotlessly clean, well maintained and QUIET! We really needed a calm, relaxing getaway and this was exactly what we had hoped for and more. Red Hook and the nearby area is also lovely and had many great restaurants to enjoy. Hosts Jeanne and Jim were so welcoming and thought of every detail. We can't wait to return!
We had the perfect weekend at this absolutely charming space on the banks of the beautiful Spring lake. The cottage was filled with thoughtful touches, the bed was extremely comfortable, and we loved sitting outside and listening to the birds while looking at the water. I also very much appreciated a kayak paddle, too. We will definitely be returning when visiting our Bard College kid!
Property is well maintained. Host is awesome! I was able to make a last minute reservation. The host had the property ready in 1.5 hours. There is a hiking trail and water sports on the property. A great patio to watch birds and view of the lake. I would stay here again.
ust returned yesterday from our stay at Fox Den. I wish we could have stayed longer . This is a perfect couples getaway. The cottage was clean and charming, very comfortable! Everything we needed and more. Just bring your clothes and food. The patio was our favorite spot with a beautiful view of the lake and gardens. So peaceful, it was like we were the only people on the property. Communication with the owners was spot on! Jeanne was always ready with a restaurant or ice cream suggestion. Easy access to the towns of Red Hook and Rhinebeck for shopping and restaurants. My only suggestion is that you bring water shoes, as getting into the lake is a bit slippery and rocky. I wish there had been a dock but we loved hanging in the lake swimming, floating and kayaking! I could go on, but just go!!!
Perfect couple vacation spot. Total privacy at the end of a dirt road. Great decorating touches of the very practical apartment and fully stocked kitchen with pots and pans and cabinet with spices. Bed was very comfortable Two six foot glass doors (separated by a gorgeous stone gas fireplace between them) open up to a partially covered deck with a grill and a fire stove. and a view of a sloping lawn down to the lake. There is a rowboat, a pedal boat and kayaks for your use. Owners, a lovely couple, live on the property if you have any questions. They even sent info on a flowering plant my wife asked about. And Red Hook and Rhinebeck are 10-15 minutes down the road. 5 stars.
Everything about our stay was exemplary! Jeanne and Jim provided us with everything we needed and clear directions about the check in process, property, appliances, etc. The house was clean, the grounds were beautiful, and we had a wonderful stay. Would absolutely rent from them again!
Beautiful lakeside getaway, cozy studio with cottage vibe, lovely quiet non-motorboat lake. Lots of good restaurants in Red Hook and Rhinebeck, roadside farm stands everywhere. Owners very nice, responsive but not intrusive. Highly recommended.
Wonderful hosts seemed to think of everything. All we did was relax: lakeside, patio, chaise lounges, country walking.
Get your food supplies before arrival because there is no need to leave the cozy spot!
The studio apartment is furnished with everything we needed. The deck and outdoor area were also nice. We did not get to enjoy the lake because it was unbearably hot the first few days, then rainy and cold for days 5-7! The worst weather of any vacation we ever had, but the place is perfect nonetheless!

Relaxing & Quiet Getaway
This quaint little place was just enough for us to getaway from it all!
Jeanne & Jim were very hospitable, and friendly.
The lake is very picturesque, especially with our good fortune of
arriving in the snow!
We definitely would like to come back in the warmer months to take full
advantage of all the lake and property have to offer.
The place had everything we needed, as well as a nice welcome treat,
which we very much appreciated!
Thank you Jeanne & Jim for making us feel warm and welcome!

Wonderful studio
SWIMMERS: note that the lake is clean and clear, BUT you will need water shoes as the entry is rocky and slippery. The place is immaculate. You will not have to bring all those pesky things usually needed for a rental: Jeanne has provided everything needed but your clothes and perishables: s & p, sugar, coffee, tea, spices, oil, soaps, paper goods, flashlights, hair dryer, lake toys - noodles and floats, games, books .... etc,. etc. This place is QUIET (except for the owl). RAIN; the view is pretty, there are games, a gas fireplace, and LOTS to do in the area - a great base for visiting all the historic houses, charming towns, wineries, and farms. It is really only for a couple - one queen bed only. Although the owners are upstairs, you have a sense of complete privacy. Definitely recommend.
The Fox Den studio was super cozy & super well kept! A great stay for couples. Unfortunately, due to weather, etc. we did not take advantage of many outdoor and lake options offered but instead enjoyed the small local towns and local foods and crafts of the beautiful Hudson Valley. It was out first visit to the region.
The Fox Den is an ideal location for a romantic getaway for two. My partner and I loved the space. The hosts were communicative and even offered to extend our stay by a night because our arrival was delayed by a day. At the Fox Den you'll find a very clean and well organized space, a beautiful patio, a CLEAN grill, and on-property lake access. We really enjoyed being in the outdoor space and then retiring to the indoor space for some very comfortable Netflix (provided) and Chill. 10/10!
This rental was perfect in every respect. It is located at the end of a private drive and overlooks a serene lake, where it is possible to boat or swim. The unit was immaculate when we arrived, and we were greeted with a bottle of wine and a plate of cookies. The hosts thought of every detail. We had a brief power outage during our visit, and the hosts (who live in the unit above) responded immediately by hooking up a generator. We felt that they were readily available if we needed them for anything. We cooked our meals in the well-stocked kitchen and dined outside on the covered patio overlooking the lake. Restaurants are available in Red Hook or Rhinebeck, which are short drives away. We took scenic hikes along the Hudson in a nearby state park and on the grounds of the Roosevelt home at Hyde Park, about 30 minutes away. We are so grateful for the opportunity to stay here, and we are looking forward to a return visit.
