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.

Beautiful home

We were 3 sisters on a weekend. The house was absolutely perfect. It couldn’t have been better! Grocery store was very close. House was easy to fine. It was extremely clean, had all amenities listed, and all 3 of us wanted to live there! It rained, otherwise we’d have used the back patio but the screened porch was great. Definitely recommend!

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.

Adorable cotfage

Stayed here for our daughter’s wedding-from out of town in texas! Farm table was awesome to do all the flowers. Beds very comfy, walking distance to cute bars and live music! Big fridge, more than adequate kitchen, nice gathering rooms-only one complaint—extremely hot bedrooms upstairs-to be expected for a historical home…but not easy to sleep with extreme temps.

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!

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

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.
