The cottage was clean and thoughtful. At first arrival, the creek and large trees were serene. The interior of the cottage was lovely and relaxing. Everything I needed, as an afterthought, was stocked for my stay. The bed was very comfortable.

Beautiful place to stay.

My first positive impression with our stay was that Alexandria, the host, was like a friend who checked in just before your stay to make sure she had the house ready. I had read the description of the house and believed it would be in the woods, but it was not. There were trees in the yard. When we first drove up to the green gate (as we were instructed to do so) I couldn't see the house, and instantly noticed the overgrown brush and industrial business with transformers and cable next door. My first thoughts were how many vacation rentals are always in obscure places or houses that couldn't sell on the market well due to location. Although, the cottage wasn't how I visualized it's location, I was open-minded because I have stayed at hotels that were just built, with a wonderful facility, but the surrounding location was still in the works. We did like the fact that the house is obscure as you drive in, but it truly is walkable to the downtown area. Once inside, we noticed how clean and detailed everything was. It felt like a Laura Ashley home, but regardless, Alexandria made sure the kitchen was well-equipped for us. She had creamers we liked in the fridge, and she also had a tiny cake ready for my husband's birthday. The bed was a memory foam, and a bit too soft for our liking. However, the best part was the bidet in both bathrooms! This was a spoil me moment feature for our stay. I would definitely recommend staying here. Alexandria is an incredible host.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Cottage! The location is perfect: close to downtown Hermann, yet tucked away enough to offer the privacy and peacefulness we enjoy. The owner has truly thought of everything you might need, from well-stocked bathroom amenities to a fully equipped kitchen.Our favorite moments were spent relaxing on the deck each morning and unwinding by the fire pit in the evenings.The owner went above and beyond to make our anniversary extra special, surprising us with a thoughtful basket of wine and treats. Her kindness and generosity meant so much to us. Communication was easy and friendly, and she was even flexible with our arrival time, which we really appreciated.We loved our time in Hermann and will definitely stay at the Cottage again on our next visit!
