Welcome to Bissell Pond Retreat! We are a family friendly home with 3 spacious levels of living, including 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.

You can sit back and enjoy the amazing views of the pond, beautiful trees, and Northern Michigan sunshine.

When you walk through the front door, you will be amazed to experience the floor-to-ceiling wall of windows! Natural light abounds throughout the main floor. The open concept living and dining areas make it easy to see everything from one end of the house to the other. The primary bedroom is also located on the main floor with the en suite bathroom and sliding glass doors to a private deck. Laundry and a half bath can be found on this floor for convenience, just off the garage.

Great Traverse City area accommodations
Our family absolutely enjoyed the use of the "Bissell Pond Retreat" as our base camp. The home was very clean, well equipped for cooking, and had plenty of room for our family of seven adults and two dogs to stretch out. We made use of near by biking trails, shopping, golf, parks, casino, farm stands, breweries, and boat rentals on torch lake. Nights by the campfire were an added bonus. Kelli & Doug thank you for sharing your wonderful vacation home! We would stay again!

Spacious House in Great Location
We were there for the horse show and it is very convenient. Also a short trip to Elk Rapids or Traverse City. The house is spacious and has seperate living areas if you come with a group or someone needs privacy or a quiet area to work. A nice wooded pond view also!!
