Cindy has thought of and provided everything!

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.

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.

My daughter, the bride had this place along with her bridal attendants. It was absolutely perfect. Great home, very accommodating hostess, and a wonderful stay.

This is one of the best outfitted properties we have stayed at! Everything you could need! Very comfortable for my family. Great beds! I highly recommend this property. We stayed here for graduation weekend and it was perfect! Thank you!!!

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!

We loved our time here. Everything we needed!

Our experience at the cottage was amazing! The host was quick to respond to any questions and check in instructions were easy to understand. The house was spotless and absolutely beautiful. Great location, beautiful landscaping, comfortable beds, I could go on and on.,,.. We will be back!!

We enjoyed our stay here so much. Everything was thought of. The home was clean, well stocked, and in the PERFECT location for our basketball tournament that took us all over the city. We will book here again for next year's tournament!

Debating on whether to share this beautiful rental with anyone. Such a beautiful home with every detail thought through. My family only stayed two nights but it was perfect . Close to campus which made commute to my sons graduation very stress free.

This rental was perfect for our family. Wonderfully decorated-comfortable beds-close to our parents home. Loved staying here over a hotel. Owner was very accommodating to our requests. Great rental.

This was an amazing weekend at a lovely cottage. We had a group of 7 ladies traveling from out of town and our stay was comfortable and relaxing. The space has 4 adult beds, not 6, however, as 2 are children’s beds in an enclave off of the master. Note that you’ll have to pay an extra $25 per night to access the 4th bed in the basement and parking can be a little tricky if you have multiple vehicles. (This home shares a driveway, so if there are more than 2-3 cars, you’ll be parking on a narrow street.) Those minor things did not take away from our excellent stay, though. This rental was worth the cost for sure.

Smooth process

We had a wonderful Family weekend with our kids and grandchildren. Wonderful location!

This house was super clean and cute in a sweet neighborhood.

Wonderful location and beautiful home. The photos don’t do justice. It had everything we could ask for. Very clean and well laid out.

We had a great time! Wonderful stay!

Wonderful place for our family to stay for a family wedding

We were very pleased with our stay at the Bissman cottage and would consider returning again. This home is lovingly kept and perfect for low-key gatherings. We enjoyed walking to the shops on Cherry street and had lovely weather to luxuriate in the outdoor spaces. The furnishings were clean and comfortable and we definitely felt at home. Only minor issues to note: If you are at all sensitive to fragrance, ask for the scent warmers to be removed (there are several in each room). The grandfather clock, while charming, will chime loudly every hour of the day and night unless manually stopped. There was some difficulty prior to our stay as our group originally booked on airbnb and was cancelled in error by the host days before our travel. The only way to re-establish our reservation was to use VRBO, a platform less preferred. And, while this home is suitable for young children, there is no gear provided (e.g. high chair, dinnerware, safety gates, outlet covers, infant crib). On close inspection of the provided pictures, the “built in crib” is adorable, but indeed only appropriate and safe for older toddlers. More features we enjoyed: The kitchen is well-stocked and has newer, well- functioning appliances. The beds were very comfortable and the water pressure is fantastic. Lots of space to unpack in drawers and closets. Overall, this charming home made for a restful and enjoyable stay in Springfield.

Great experience with the property owner and the actual property! Very pleased. House was stocked with all we needed.

The cottage was the perfect setting for our family Christmas! It was comfortable and decorated for Christmas! Cindy was very helpful. The beds are so comfortable and the cottage is fully stocked with everything needed and then some!! Great central location!

This cottage is everything and then some. Great location in town and such a wonderful, welcome and cozy property. The coffee bar was awesome and much appreciated! This place truly felt like home and was perfect for visiting with my family for the holidays. Cindy was super pleasant and helpful! I am looking forward to coming back soon.

Charming well appointed historic home!! Very clean and well supplied. Love the neighborhood -it was cold so we didn’t get to enjoy outdoors but the screened porch is adorable.

Great time visiting your property. We had our last visit down to Springfield to visit our daughter at MSU. Your property allowed us comfort and relaxation during this very fun time. Thanks again for sharing your great property with us.

This house is beautiful inside and out, we had a wonderful stay here.

The property was meticulous and well stocked with anything that you anyone would need. The beds were extremely comfortable, towels and all other needs were supplied. The home was absolutely gorgeous as was the yard. Everyone was very comfortable and loved the time away. I will say that I stay at a LOT of VRBO's and this one was by far the cleanest and most well stocked.

We loved the house. Easy process to rent it. Can even take a walk down the street to the brewery.

We stayed here while visiting family in the area. The property is absolutely beautiful and clean. The owner worked hard to make guests feel welcome and comfortable. The area is also nice and we felt safe. We look forward to visiting again in the future when in the area again.

Really much closer to a 10 than a five star rating. I felt like we walked in to a home make over reveal when we came in. Beautiful decoration, with amazing antiques. Beds were very comfy with crisp linens, one bath up and one down. Neighborhood felt very safe, surrounded by blocks of beautifully restored early 1900s homes. Our hostess was very timely and efficient In communications. Plenty of extra niceties like Keurig coffee, bathroom toiletries, washer and dryer. I’m just trying to figure out when I can get back! Thanks for a great stay

This is our second time at the cottage. Once again it was perfect. Cindy is a wonderful host. If you don't want to go out, the cottage is so nice to just spend a day relaxing.

We were shocked at the detail to this property. It was spotless! The beds were extremely comfortable. Every detail was covered. The location was ideal. Spent many visits at hotels in Springfield, wish we would of thought of staying here earlier!!!

We rented this to stay and visit family. We had all age groups with us and this home was very accommodating! The area was nice and close to everything we wanted. Would definitely rent again!
