Bissell Creek Woodside Cottage - Dog Friendly with Hot Tub!

Summary:
Dogs welcome! This expansive 2,038-square-foot home has been beautifully renovated and is nestled in a peaceful, wooded setting with Bissell Creek flowing through the property. The serene back deck overlooking the woods is sure to make you feel right at home, but if you're ready to explore, you'll have plenty of options nearby, including the Turtle Creek Casino, Flintfields Horse Park, and the stunning Traverse City—often called the Jewel of the North.

The Space:
As you step through the front door, you'll be welcomed by a bright, open living space featuring vaulted ceilings and a sleek, minimalistic decor. The open floor plan seamlessly blends the living, dining, and kitchen areas. The main floor also includes a full laundry room and the primary bedroom, which offers a new king-sized bed and a spacious ensuite bathroom. A second bedroom with a queen bed and direct access to the back deck with outdoor seating is also located on this level. The main living area features a new 65" TV for your entertainment.

Upstairs, you'll find two additional bedrooms. The first has a bunk bed with a queen on the lower tier and a single bed on top, along with an additional single bed. The second bedroom features a bunk bed with a double on the lower tier and a single bed on top.

The property spans 1.41 acres and is surrounded by private woodlands and public land, offering a truly secluded retreat. Enjoy the peace and privacy at the end of a private drive, with woods surrounding the home on all sides. Wildlife, including deer, squirrels, and songbirds, is abundant.

With plenty of activities to enjoy, including games, books, cards, classic DVDs, a horseshoe set, a large fire pit, and a hot tub that's available year-round.

Guest Access:
Guests have access to the entire house (but no garage access).

Perfect Stay Just Outside of Traverse City
The location was perfect for our group who wanted to stay outside of Traverse City while not being too far from the wineries and downtown. The house was incredibly clean and had all amenities we could want including a well stocked kitchen with everything we needed to prepare meals. We felt right at home. The peaceful backyard and hot tub made for perfect relaxing evenings outside. The host was highly communicative and made the process extremely easy. Highly recommend!

Perfect Getaway with Family
Stayed to take kids and grandkids to Great Wolf Lodge for the day. The house was very nice and had everything you could need. It was clean, a lot of room, beautiful table we were all able to eat meals together. Everyone had there own bed and a lot of room for the kids to play. The hot tub was a nice bonus. Much better than staying at Great Wolf Lodge and was a close distance to just go for the day, along with in the evening taking a trip down the road to Turtle Creek casino. Everything was easy and made for a perfect getaway.

Not bad for a family stay.
The house worked for what we needed it for. We liked the fire pit, grill and hot tub. The bath tub didnt drain at all so we couldnt really use it but the host was responsive and said it would get fixed. Only other note is that the house had a musty/moldy smell so i assume the basement is wet so they could maybe use a dehumidifier. Overall its a nice 4 bedroom home on a secluded private lot but not far from traverse city, torch lake etc.

The perfect spot!
Out group of 8 friends were very fortunate to be able to stay here as a launching point for our annual golf trip. The location is perfect for being close to everything in or near town you would want to do, while having a quite and private setting for hanging out at the house. We were also pleasantly surprised to find out Ubers were available when needed. Overall an absolute 10/10 experience ⭐️

SO FUN
Stayed here for my Bachelorette party - only 20min from downtown. I mean this in the best way possible - the photos don't do this place justice! Such a cozy living room with plenty of beds and space for a queen blow up mattress. Super clean and comfortable. The hot tub was a great bonus! Great communication from the host as well. Highly recommend and would stay here again.

Great Winter Weekend Getaway
We brought the entire family up for a winter weekend. The older ones skied at Schuss Mountain, only 30 minutes away. The youngers went x-country skiing towing the littlest one (almost 2) on a sled. Mom and Dad enjoyed watching the fun and interacting with the grandkids playing board games, doing puzzles, and relaxing in the hot tub. The house was clean, ready when we arrived, and everything worked as advertised. Location was great for our needs but off the beaten path so just standing in the back yard with towering pines and only the sound of wind in the trees was awesome. We highly recommend this property!

Peaceful and Relaxing!
Bissell Creek Cottage is a beautiful home nestled in the woods, and stocked with everything you could possibly need while away. We thoroughly enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub, touring Traverse City, making s’more’s by the fire, and viewing the brightest stars we’ve ever seen. The deers even came by daily to say hello. We only had a couple questions, but Katy was always available. We will definitely return for another peaceful and relaxing vacation!!

What we needed
The property was spacious enough for all of us to be comfortable and have a bit of privacy when we wanted. Located about 10 miles from Traverse City, we were minutes from the hustle and bustle of that summer tourist town, but far away enough to be in the woods surrounded by peace and quiet. Management was very responsive to us. Hats off to Katy!!

It was okay
We really enjoyed our stay for the most part. The home had plenty of room room for our family, the kitchen is well stocked so you can cook almost anything, the outdoors were nice and private. In the description it says that there is a nice wooded area that we had thought we would be able to wander and explore but there isn’t which was a little disappointing. The grill did not work at all, they must have known this because one was delivered while we were there. However, it had not been disclosed. So we used the oven and that made all the smoke detectors go off. There was sand everywhere…all the rooms, in the shower, in the hot tub. I understand sand can be difficult but the shower and floor should have been cleaner. However, they did have games and a comfy sitting area for movies. We were there to go visit family and the location was very nice, only a 30 minute drive to everything.
