The Perfect View
We stayedm here for Hillsdale' Parent's Weekend Oct 2024, and could not have been more pleased with the cottage. The view of the lake is beautiful, especially the sunrise. The cottage has eveything you need, with high quality amenities. The bed was incredibly comfortable. We look foward to staying again.

Charming Sweet Stay
I stayed here with my daughter during her Fall Break. I could not have asked for a better place. Stephanie was readily available to answer any questions and thought of every possible detail. The welcome cookies were delicious. We appreciated the coffee and the tea. I hope to be back soon.

Highly Recommended
We had such a comfortable and relaxing stay. We enjoyed the kayaks, firepit, and outdoor deck. The clean and comfortable furnishings inside were also appreciated. The kitchen was well- stocked and had many extras that aren’t usually included in most places. We hope to be back someday. Thank you, Stephanie.

Amazing
When we drove into Baw Beese Lake we were, WOW this is amazing. Then we got to Frog Cottage, it was amazing right on a little canal to the lake. Super cozy, very lakey and so peaceful. Everything you could need and more. We will be back often.

Great place to relax while visiting.
What can I say, except everything was quiet, calm, relaxing, and perfect! I was in town for our 45th Class Reunion, so a friend and I stayed at The Frogmore, which was an ideal location - to The Hills of Baw Beese Lake, The Elk's Lodge, Downtown Hillsdale, Hillsdale College, and all our friends that also live on, or around, Baw Beese Lake. The cottage was welcoming, clean, had everything we needed, and truly the most comfortable mattresses, pillows and sheets that I have ever had in a rental. Stephanie made everything so convenient and easy. I will absolutely look for The Frogmore to stay at the next time I am in Hillsdale visiting.

This was such a a beautiful spot in Hillsdale to relax and soak in the summer. The location was great for our visit to Hillsdale College and Downtown Hillsdale. It was easy to find and in a great neighborhood to take a walk. Being right on the lake was wonderful. Highly recommend.

Girls weekend
This was a perfect spot for a girls weekend. Four women fit comfortably and there is ample green space to hang outside. The house is close to downtown Hillsdale and we enjoyed the farmers market and cute boutiques. Stephanie was kind enough to find us a third kayak. The water where you drop in was a little murky for our liking, but that’s just a personal preference. Stephanie suggested Sandy Beach just down the road. It was a huge park perfect for families. Being only 45mins away I would bring my kids back.
