20th Anniversary

My wife and I stayed at this cottage to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. We absolutely loved the cottage. It is perfectly decorated with amenities you don’t get at a typical Inn. It has everything you need, close walk to everything, and the host is incredibly welcoming! We will definitely be back!

Anniversary Weekend Getaway

The cottage is so cute and very well stocked. Alexandria went above and beyond to personalize our stay, and we were very impressed with all the extras available in the house for guests to use. The location feels remote but is right on the edge of town. We enjoyed live music from Oktoberfest right from the deck. Highly recommended this cottage and will definitely stay here if we visit Hermann again!

Getaway

My wife and I have visited Hermann once before and stayed at a BNB. This location though is amazing! The creek out back as well as the wooded lot is beautiful. The decor is way m and inviting and the owners went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable! Between the Chobani creamers and the unbelievable robes we couldn’t have been happier! Definitely worth a return trip!!!

Comfortable Cottage

The cottage is very homey and comfortable. Anything you could need is ready and available. The property owners were accommodating and easy to communicate with. Great location. Off the beaten path yet still quite a bit within walking distance. We would love to stay again on our next trip to Herman.

Our weekend away at Ivy Cottage

We absolutely loved our weekend away at Ivy Cottage. It was quiet, private, well appointed and the owners were fantastic. It was only a couple of blocks from the main streets in hermann so we were able to wAlk to all the action but also enjoy the peace and quiet of the home. They had a list of great food and drink options which were also on point!!! Thank you for an amazing stay amd we loom forward to visiting again in the future!

Wonderful place

My wife and I rented the cottage for a fall weekend and we had a wonderful time. The cottage is great and secluded while being close to Hermann's amenities. Hermann is a neat town with lots of history and a variety of things to do. The property manager was excellent to deal with and very thoughtful during our stay. We plan to come back in the future. Highly recommended.

Brief weekend away

This cottage in Hermann was just what we were looking for. The property was clean, well stocked and accurately represented. We had a relaxing time and the property owners were easy to work with. There was a lot going on in Hermann the weekend we stayed and we enjoyed the festivities. The cottage is quiet and the decks are great for evenings and morning alike. We will definately rebook when we visit Hermann again.

Storybook cottage

My husband & I rented this for the weekend as a bday present for his sister, and we’re so happy we did! This fairytale cottage is beautiful. You can tell the owners love this place by all the small details and finishes throughout. It is furnished with anything you may need for an overnight stay, plus it’s a short walk to all the shops in Hermann. Can’t say enough about this place. Absolutely breathtaking! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Simply amazing

We have stayed at the Ivy Cottage twice this year. After the first visit I found it difficult to express just how charming the cottage really is. Now it's even more difficult because the cottage is even more spectacular. The hosts have an incredible eye for detail. Everywhere you look there's a treasure to be discovered. From the art on the walls to the games and even art supplies there is something new around every corner. I fell in love with the covered patio on the first visit and arrived this time to find it fully screened in. It was an absolute joy to start the evening on the patio and finish the day around the fire pit. We enjoy visiting Hermann but, honestly, we come for the Ivy Cottage. We can't wait to come back again.

A beautiful cottage for a perfect getaway

This cottage is absolutely charming. The photos and description truly do not do it justice. Everywhere we looked there was obvious attention to detail from the art on the walls to the well-stocked kitchen. You can see in the photo the is a patio beneath the deck. What you can't see is the steel sheet under the patio that keeps the deck dry and comfortable, even in heavy rain. It was heavenly relaxing in the evening while listening to the rain and wildlife all around us. This is just an example of the careful thought that has gone into the details of this cottage. The cottage truly is a short walk to downtown Hermann. We were able to walk to town every time the urge struck and never felt we needed to take the car whenever we felt like exploring. The comfort, sense of privacy, and convenience balanced into a fantastic experience. It was a pleasure working with our hosts. Alexandria was delight. I'm not exaggerating when I say we were planning our next visit before we had even unpacked our bag.
