Up Up and Away

We had the pleasure of staying at Up Up and Away, a beautiful B&B set atop the hillside, overlooking beautiful Hermann, MO.

Our group of 5, including a 6 month old, all fit comfortably in the Deck Suite. (Two + Baby were in master bedroom, Two were on the pull-out in the living room).
We selected the deck suite for it's privacy and also because we had an infant with us. As far as my reasearch has gone, most B&Bs in Hermann, MO do not allow children and require all customers must be 18 years of age. As this is a stand alone suite, a crying child will not disturb other guests.

Up Up and Away is one of the few children friendly B&Bs in Hermann.

The master bedroom. It is gorgeous, modern and comfortable.

Nice large tub. There is also an additional double headed shower across the room. Both bathrooms are only accessible by the master bedroom.

The beautiful view. The only way to access the deck suite is by a outdoor staircase. It is not the easiest to manuever but we didn't have any serious issues with it.
 

A gourmet breakfast is included in the rate and my goodness, it is delicious!

Hermann, MO

If you have ever been there, you wouldn't be surprised Forbes' named Hermann one of the Prettiest Towns in America. When customers ask for nearby activities, I am always surprised at how many people have never even heard of Hermann. Hermann truly is one of Missouri's gems and certainly worth a visit.  

Founded by German immigrants in 1837, Hermann hosts popular annual festivals, such as Wurstfest, Maifest and Oktoberfest. The home of award winning wineries and B&Bs, Hermann is the perfect romantic retreat.  With more than a handful of wineries and over 300 guests rooms, there is bound to be something that fits your taste and budget. Our favorites are: Adam Puchta, OakGlenn Winery, Up Up and Away Lodging, Hermann Hill Vineyard & Inn, and Wine Valley Inn.

Before you visit us at Eco Zipline Tours be sure to check out Hermann's calendar of events, which you can view here. Festivals will means thousands of visitors in Hermann so if that's not what you're looking for, be sure to plan your visit for another weekend.








As always, plan your trip to the wineries for after your ziplining adventure at Eco Zipline Tours.

Hermann Hill


We had the absolute pleasure of staying at Hermann Hill Bed and Breakfast over the weekend. From the moment we stepped inside, we felt pampered. Hermann Hill is a luxury B&B and was designed with couples and romance in mind. Located less than 15 minutes from the zipline, it is a great option for your Hermann getaway.

We selected the Chambourcin room because it was the only room with a private hot tub on the patio. This will be changing soon though- According to their Facebook page, they are adding hot tubs to 3 more rooms. This place just keeps getting better!

If you’ve ever been to our zipline you have met our pug, Zeus. The zipline is Zeus’s home and he often roams it freely, interacting with customers and impressing them with his all-around awesomeness. Hermann Hill is also animal friendly. Lewis and Clarke are two very cute and very well behaved chocolate labs. They freely roam the property so be on the lookout for them!

Zeus stands on guard for our customers during the safety speech.


Hermann Hill is actually two different properties. We stayed in the Inn, which is a single building featuring 8 rooms and a more traditional B&B feel. In the Inn, you have the option of enjoying breakfast in the main dining room with other guests or enjoying room service at your time of choosing. The cottages, on the other hand, are much more private and secluded. There are 5 total, each featuring an upper and lower level. Instead of preparing a breakfast for you daily, they stock your fridge prior to your arrival with all the food you will need to make your own breakfast (my understanding is most are as easy as heating up.) Each room features a large private deck with a hot tub, gas grill and an amazing view of the Missouri River. These babies definitely live up to their name of river bluff cottages!!

This chart, found on their website, really sums up the difference between the Inn and Cottages quite nicely.

I would wholeheartedly recommend a stay at Hermann Hill Inn to anyone interested in a relaxing getaway. The breakfast is gourmet and plentiful, the late night homemade cookies and ice cream are a treat and the amenities are nothing short of amazing.

TIP:
Looking for a last-minute weekend getaway? You should contact Hermann Hill on Thursday morning. They will review their bookings for the weekend and you may score a sweet deal!
