quiet and peaceful location. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed. Only issue was lack of cell service; also was a plus in some ways!

Thank you so much! The Frogie Cottage is absolutely meant to be a peaceful retreat from the stressful world we seem to consider normal. Hope to see you again next year! And I am looking into the Cell signal situation. Hope to have a solution by next summer.

The house is very well supplied and clean. Having use of a dishwasher, washer and dryer was an added bonus. Our dog had a great time, her first lake vacation. Thank-you for being dog friendly! A very quiet and relaxing spot

Cottage Week

My wife's family for many years have rented a cabin on Lake Nettie. We have out grown it so the froggy cottage on Lost Lake was perfect. Especially when you wanted to get away from everyone! Had an excellent time! Looking forward to next year!

Comfortable, quiet and relaxing!

We enjoyed the quietness and time sitting at the fire pit looking at the lake. I understand why it's called the froggy cottage with all the frogs singing in the Lake and the whipper willow singing in the trees. The stay was very peaceful and relaxing. I enjoyed the comfortable beds and restful nights! I only wish I had more than one week.

Escape to a peaceful paradise

This property was absolutely perfect for a quiet and spacious get away right on Lost Lake! I had the opportunity to stay for an extended time in the winter months and it was cozy and provided everything you could possibly need! Fully stocked kitchen was great to allow cooking for all my meals. It was a quick 15 minute trip to Rogers City and super close to many outdoor activities and hot spots in the area. The owner was super helpful and attentive to any needs that came up. I will most definitely be back again in the summer months and will stay at Froggie Cottage again!

We loved this place!

Our son and 2 little girls were with us and this place was perfect. They loved the trundle bed, toys and coloring books. They swam from dock, watched moths hatch from their chrysalis, and listened to loons and whippoorwills at night. We made good use of kayaks and canoe. Our bed was soft and cozy. The kitchen had everything you needed and then some. Bathrooms looked newly remodeled and had laundry facilities on site. Our dog enjoyed it as well! We were close to Rogers City and Lake Huron. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for that "Up North" experience.

Amazing Stay!

Our family stayed here for the first time and absolutely fell in love with the place! The cabin is in a fantastic location - quiet, lake access, gorgeous views. Everything you need is there. The owner was super nice and we felt confident that if any issues arose - he’d be there to help. Fortunately our week long stay went without any issues at all. The cabin is spacious and having two bathrooms was very helpful for our family of five. Extra bonus that it was pet friendly and we were able to bring our dogs, also part of the family, to enjoy vacation with us. :) The northeast location was beyond convenient - not too far from many great attractions. We highly recommend Frogie Cabin and hopefully will be back next year!

Perfect

I'm a "repeat" guest at this cottage, as I've stayed here three times in the past year. With this in mind, I suppose it goes without saying that I truly enjoy each stay at the "Frogie" cottage, and I will very likely come back in the future. The cottage is comfortable, well equipped, and in a pleasant, picturesque location. Thanks Toby for providing a great retreat!

Perfection in the North Woods

We enjoyed our stay here tremendously. I was here previously in September 2020 and I knew then that I wanted to come back. The cottage was perfect, and equipped with more than one would expect in a similar place. The surrounding area is peaceful with a lot of wildlife. Thanks Toby for providing a great place for vacation!

Cozy cabin

We had a great stay at the cabin! Everything was clean and it was well equipped with everything we needed during our visit. We (Myself, my wife and our 4 boys) used the cabin as a home base as we explored northern Michigan. The only downside (at no fault of the cabin or owner) is there is no phone service or WiFi to see the information about places we were visiting. This could be a good thing too! It just made things a little interesting for us, but it all worked out and we had a great stay! Thank you again!

Thank you for the wonderful words! The cottage is a very peaceful place to be sure. Really great guest, I hope you book again soon! About the cell service, yes we are lacking good service right now. However a tower is under construction that should help. But, I am a bit surprised you couldn't make a call from the cottage. I installed a booster antenna this spring and have had good feedback from my guests. Thanks again for taking such good care of the cottage!

Frogie Cabin - You wont want to leave...Guaranteed!

This is by far, one of the BEST places I have ever stayed!!! The cabin is clean and stocked with all amenities and fun things to do on the lake..fishing, kayaking, canoeing! The owners were friendly and knowledgeable with things to do in the area and willing to do whatever it took to make sure they could honor our stay even when I was faced with possibly having to reschedule my vacation time, which being an essential worker, that kind of consideration was appreciated so much! Looking out to the lake and sitting on the dock with my coffee watching the sunrise was so relaxing. I would 1000000% suggest anyone looking to de-stress and seeking peace & quiet, RENT THIS CABIN NOW!!! Thank you Frogie Cabin for making this the best vacation yet! - The Allens
