Great, quaint home. We love historic homes and the areas they are in. This home is in a great Springfield location! It was close to our daughter’s home and gave us the extra space we needed for family over the holidays! The beds were very comfy.Bonus…It’s very walkable to the local spots and brewery which is a plus!

My daughter had a reaction to the detergent used in the house and the spray that was used on the furniture. I didn’t mind the spray but the detergent smell was strong. In addition the master bed slopes down towards the head so my husband had to sleep on the couch. Other than that it was a cute place and met all of our needs.

This was our first time at the Bissman Cottage, and we were not disappointed. The house was immaculately maintained inside and out with exceptional furnishings. It's a perfect central location within a nice neighborhood. Our host (Cindy) was extraordinary in communicating and reaching out to make sure we were happy. We visit Springfield about 3 times a year, and we have found our new go-to place to stay. An absolutely delightful place to stay.

Pleasant Cottage Perfect for a Family

We stayed a week at the cottage. Everything was exactly as pictured online, with the peaceful fountain flowing at the front of the property. The old charm of the house made for a cozy and inviting place to be all week. The house is close to lots of great restaurants, groceries, shopping, and attractions. We would definitely stay at this property again!

Clean and cozy

The cottage was beautiful and decorated for Christmas which was unexpected but really appreciated. Everything was clean and functional. There's a little kid entrance to a kids sleep area which is adorable. Host was easy to reach, although we really didn't have any problems. Would definitely stay here again, esp during holidays with family.

About the host

Hosted by Cindy Hodges

Host profile image
We have enjoyed Downtown Springfield for the variety of the historic area not to mention the many restaurants, pubs, entertainment, sports and of course you can't forget Gillioz theatre. I fe in ove with this C.A. Bissman home that he built after returning from Europe after the war💕

Why they chose this property

I love cottages! This cottage was built by CA Bissman in 1932 When Bissman returned from Europe after world war one, he started building European cottages downtown Springfield. I love the old world style! I have renovated and added some newer trends and have kept many of the original features. We provided 4 adult bicycles that are kept in the garage for your enjoyment. We use them to ride to Tie and Timber Brewery just around the corner. There is a bike lock to lock the bikes together as well.

What makes this property unique

There was an unfinished gable space in the upstairs master bedroom that just "Screamed Sweetness"! My carpenters cleaned it out, insulated it with R-30, added a remote control A/C unit and covered the walls with bead board. They built a baby bed and a twin size bed for parents who have small children who want their babies close but also want to enjoy some privacy. Cute as can be! If its not needed, Close the doors off! We also did a Farm house dining room. Farm house is very popular and trendy. My carpenter Brock built the light fixture above the table from a 125 year old barn. We had fun building it and welding it out in the garage. It's quite remarkable.
