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.

Loved our stay at Bissman Cottage. Very clean, cozy, welcoming. They did an outstanding job renovating the inside of the home. Recommended to friends and family… And will definitely consider staying there again. If you are looking for a home away from home during your next extended stay… This is it. Five Star.

Amazing Springfield VRBO!

I can’t express enough how everything about this home and its host is everything you are looking for when visiting Springfield. The neighborhood was outstanding with its location. So many wonderful places to visit within just a few minutes of walking. This includes restaurants, wonderful shops, even a few places to enjoy a drink and music! The host herself was easy to reach and made sure the whole trip went smoothly. Always a plus to have this dedicated to detail! The home itself was beautiful and wonderfully decorated. Access to a beautiful yard, dining room and spacious rooms to visit family. Bedrooms were comfortable and made for a good night’s sleep. Looking forward to our next trip!

What a beautiful home and neighborhood. We enjoyed it all.

What a great place to make memories! It was perfect. Beautifully decorated, comfortable beds and plenty areas for us to just sit and visit. We took in lovely neighborhood walks, and some of us even ventured out on the bikes provided. We would highly recommend it.

Sweetest house in an amazing neighborhood

This home was perfect for my family of 4 to stay in while we visited my family who lives 2 blocks away. The proximity to the Cherry and Pickwick shops was perfect and overall it’s an amazing centra location in Springfield. Cindy was perfectly communicative and made the stay very easy for us. The house has its amazing original charm and is updated in the ways it counts (kitchen and bathrooms, basement). The beds were so soft and comfortable! Having a garage available was amazing too.

HAPPINESS

Oh how we loved loved loved this property! The owner was phenomenal and they stay was awesome. There is a saying we use in our home, its never what happens its how you respond. Our fridge went out at the cottage, and this sweet precious woman who was sick with the flu, figured a way to get a brand new fridge THE SAME DAY, within hours of being notified the fridge went out. TO TOP IT OFF, she refunded me for the food I lost. All with a smile. Could not say enough about this place and the owner. The heart of this place is as good as gold!

About the host

Hosted by Cindy Hodges

Host profile image
Brian and I discovered the downtown area while dating. We would meet downtown Springfield because it was the same distance from Lebanon where Brian was to Kimberling City where I live. We enjoyed the restaurants, pubs, entertainment, sports and of course you can't forget Gillioz theatre.
We met there every Wednesday night and some weekends.

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.
