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.

What a wonderful place! Super clean and fresh decor. And the location on the water was just what we were looking for, with lots of wildlife chatting away. The porch was my favorite- perfect for morning coffee and sitting outside to just relax and enjoy each other’s company. Stephanie was a breeze to work with- respectful of our space and also available if needed. Highly recommended!

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.
