Baw Beese Lake cottage! Close to downtown and Hillsdale College!

Welcome to Frogmore Cottage, located on the shoreline of Baw Beese Lake! Newly renovated and fully stocked, Frogmore is a clean, cozy, bright and airy, two-bedroom, one-bathroom cottage. Frogmore Cottage is just two miles from downtown Hillsdale, and three miles from Hillsdale College. Relax on the deck that overlooks Baw Beese Lake and enjoy the kayaks to explore the shoreline of the largest lake in Hillsdale County.

Frogmore Cottage is located in our quiet neighborhood on Baw Beese Lake. We adore our neighborhood and lake, and know you will, too! The bedrooms are stocked with fresh, cotton linens. The main bedroom has a brand new queen bed and the second bedroom has two, new twin beds, trundle style. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need to cook a meal. Hillsdale's very own Ad Astra "Hillsdale" coffee blend is stocked for your mornings on the deck. The bathroom is stocked with linens, toilet paper, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Enjoy the stunning sunrises with coffee on the porch, and enjoy the three kayaks and life vests for exploring the shoreline of Baw Beese Lake. We can't wait for you to experience this property for yourself!

** Returning guests **Our stay at this cottage was nothing short of exceptional. If you are looking for a peaceful, spotless, and incredibly comfortable getaway right on the water, this is the place to book! The cottage sits just steps away from a calm, beautiful lake, offering spectacular views right from the main living area and the back porch, as well as a small private dock. Check-in and check-out were smooth, seamless, and completely hassle-free. The kitchen area was fully stocked with utensils, pots, pans, and appliances you need to cook meals. Stephanie has put thought into every aspect of the cottage, from top quality hand soap to the linens, and is easy to communicate with. She even leaves incredible handmade cookies for your arrival!
