61st Annual Maifest, Spring German Celebration, Hermann Mo.

Come enjoy a weekend of fun at the Maifest Spring German Celebration during your stay at Hermann Hill Bed and Breakfast.

For the past 61 years Hermann Mo. has held the Maifest German Celebration on the third weekend of May.  Join in the celebration that features a parade, German food, music, dancing and much more this coming weekend May 17-19.

Maifest first began as a celebration for the last day of school for the children. The girls wore new white dresses and the boys wore their Sunday best. The biggest treat for the children during the celebration was the Knockwurst, pink lemonade and an orange. The rest of the day was spent playing games and at concessions where the kids could buy popcorn and candy with just 20 cents. Maifest was a celebration that everyone looked forward to here in Hermann, especially the children.

We hope to see you there at Hermann Missouri Bed and Breakfast!

Riverbluff Cottages get a facelift!

When we built the Riverbluff cottages we named them and introduced themes in the stained glass unique to each building.

·       Cottage 1 Early Settlers

·       Cottage 2 Steamboats

·       Cottage 3 The Old Hermann Wharf

·       Cottage 4 19th century Hermann

·       Cottage 5 20th Century Hermann

We have always wanted to do a motif that reflects each rooms theme.  We have recently had our talented painter Dana Poe come up with an array of paint colors that reflect the names, such as Cottage 401 the Charles Eitzen which has been painted in the colors of past historic stores because when Eitzen settled in Hermann he opened one of the first general stores in Hermann.  Now that the painting of each cottage is done, we have begun looking for historic Hermann items from around the area with the help of our local on-line Newspaper County News Live to add to each cottage. 

You will also see these cottage themes reflected both inside and out as  Peggy and Terry get out to more auctions and here from the local residents of Hermann who would like to share these historic pieces with our guests. Terry will also be starting his own project in helping with the new design by building pieces such as a canoe for Cottage one-early settlers. 

As always we welcome any suggestions from our guests, after all you are the reason Hermann Hill is AAA’s Best in the Midwest!

Benefits of a Massage at Hermann Hill's Vineyard Inn & Spa

Benefits of massage have long been documented. Massage is an important tool to help relax, release and soothe your muscles. The therapists at Hermann Hill Vineyard Inn & Spa, one of the leading Missouri Spa's, use a variety of techniques and strokes to best accommodate your body’s needs.  Our Swedish massage uses long continuous and kneading strokes to promote increased blood circulation and relax soft tissue.  After a day of antiquing, visiting wineries, or our scenic self-guided 3-mile walk or bike ride on the KatyTrail your muscles might need extra attention.  Our deep tissue and trigger point therapy may be what you need to help alleviate the pain caused by the buildup of lactic acid in your muscles which can cause knots and soreness. Massage can help to break up trigger points or tiny knots that develop in a muscle that is injured or overworked.  Trigger points can cause multiple problems including headaches, stiffness and referred pain.  For deep relaxation the Missouri River Hot Stone massage might be the experience you’re seeking. Therapists place warm stones over your body to help loosen tightness so they are able to better manipulate your tissue. Using warm stones and their hands to massage, your stress will melt from your muscles. Here at the Hermann Hill  Vineyard Inn & Spa you can go on an aroma journey with scented Aveda Massage oils which will not only help muscle tension but also calm your mood and stress level. All of our massages use the Aveda Product Line which is the leader in delivering organic, sustainable or renewable ingredients. We can also provide you the same products we use at our Missouri spa for home use. Visit our website for more information on our different Aveda massages and packages.

Things to do this Fall at Hermann Hill!

·        Take the scenic route from Kansas City or St. Louis. Enjoy the beautiful fall colors, as you make your way to Hermann Hill. If driving to Hermann from Kansas City, consider leaving I-70 at Columbia for Hwy 63 South to Jefferson City and then taking Hwy 94 to Hermann.   This will allow you to view the great hardwood fall colors on the MO River bluffs with the sun behind you.   You can take Hwy 19 to I-70 for your return trip.

·        Enjoy a guided three mile walk on a brisk morning as the fog rolls in off the Missouri river.

·        Find your Chakra by getting a relaxing massage in our Spa or on your Riverbluff Cottage deck overlooking the Missouri River.

·        Sip a glass of Stone Hill wine on your private deck while the sun warms you and the cool breeze calms you.

·        Relax in your hot tub or cozy up to your loved one in front of the fire.

·        Rejuvenate, Relax, Reconnect and return to reality refreshed!

Welcome to the Vineyard Level at Hill Vineyard Inn & Spa

Over the past four months we have introduced a new floor plan for the Vineyard Inn & Spa.  The new floor plans showcase the changes that have been made to the Inn that we think will enhance our guests experience when staying at the Inn or receiving a massage in our new Spa.  This month we feature the first floor Vineyard level.  The Vineyard Level features two suites, the Luxury Vidal Suite, and the Seyval Premium Hot TubSuite.  As with the other floors at the Vineyard Inn & Spa, the Vineyard level has received a new face lift with new colors, decor and amenities. The Vidal and Seyval Suites both feature a plush king size bed, gas fireplace, television, and Jacuzzi tub.   In addition, the Vidal Suite features a Rain forest steam shower.  The Seyval suite features a large hot tub with waterfall, multi-color lights and I-pod docking station and radio. Seyval’s private hot tub room also features a free standing euro-rain shower head and linear fireplace with an eighteen color combination. The Vineyard level has always been a favorite for couples traveling together with the large private patios outside each suite and Seyval’s sitting area for couples to gather together. And now with the new hot tub room added to Seyval, it’s just gotten even better.

Each Month a New Hermann Hill Vineyard Inn & Spa Floor Plan will be Introduced

For the next two months we will be unveiling a new floor plan to show our guests the new expansion and updates that have been made to Hermann Hill Vineyard Inn & Spa.  This month we feature the fourth level of the Vineyard Inn & Spa.  The fourth level is the highest level of the Inn and is where the Virginia Seedling, Cynthiana and Norton Suites are located.  Like many of our rooms at the Inn, guests can enjoy great views from their private decks of the historic town of Hermann, the Missouri River Valley and Hermann Hills’ private Norton Vineyard.  One of the largest changes made to the fourth was the renovations to Virginia Seedling from a traditional luxury suite to a premium suite. Virginia Seedling now features a private hot tub room with hot tub, infrared sauna, linear fireplace with eighteen color combination, Sundance Hot Tub with IPod radio, second guest controlled air conditioning unit with floor to ceiling sliding glass doors that gives guests a great view to the southeast.  The Virginia Seedling bathroom features a new Sanijet Jacuzzi tub as well as a steam shower.  Additional changes to the fourth floor include a new interior design with fresh new colors to all three suites, a guest computer stationed on the fourth floor with the option for guests to send an electronic post card to friends and family as well as additional storage space.  As with the other additions most of the fourth floor improvements were made following guest suggestions, so we think you will find genuine value in the new amenities and Spa services.
