​

SERVICES & LOCATIONS

​

Self-Service Homes

 

Our properties are private, whole-house vacation rentals. There is no on-site staff or front desk. We are always just a message or phone call away and respond quickly, but guests should expect a self-service experience.

​

Important Location Notes

 

Please review the listing and map carefully before booking.

Our two homes are in different parts of Hermann:

​

• Alemania Haus – Located outside the main downtown core

• 5th Street Bungalow – Located in downtown Hermann (higher pedestrian traffic)

 

Distances to the Amtrak station, wineries, restaurants, and other attractions vary by property. We strongly recommend checking the exact location and driving/walking times on the map before you book.

​

​

Train Travelers

 

The Amtrak station in Hermann typically has midday arrivals and departures, and a last arrival/departure in the afternoon. Because of this schedule:

​​

• Standard check-in is 3:00 PM and check-out is 10:00 AM

• Train travelers often benefit from adding early check-in or late check-out when booking directly with us

 

If you’re traveling by train, we’re happy to help make the timing work smoothly. Our standard check-in doesn’t always line up with the Amtrak schedule of choice. You can add early check-in or late check-out when you book, or simply reply to your reminder message and we’ll take care of it for you.

​​

​

Transportation

 

We do not provide transportation. Guests are responsible for their own travel to and from the properties (personal vehicle, rideshare, taxi, or walking where practical).

​​

• Please confirm distances and options before booking.​

• Hermann Transportation options include: Debbie's Lyft U Up and the Hermann Trolley.​

• By booking with us, you acknowledge you have reviewed the property location, map, and listing details.​​

​​

​​

PET POLICY

 

We love well-behaved pets and are proud to be one of the few truly pet-friendly homes in Hermann. A non-refundable pet fee applies per pet at the time of booking.

​

What we provide for your pet

 

When you book with us and bring a pet, we’ll have ready for you if you let us know:

​

• A cozy dog bed

• Food & water bowls

• Waste bags

 

Important details about our homes:

​

• Both properties offer privacy, hardwood floors, and yard space that work well for pets.

• Yards are not enclosed, and Alemania is positioned above Market St.

• Neighbors have pets, and there is wildlife in our yard (Alemania Haus) on occasion.

• The 5th Street Bungalow sits in a high-pedestrian area of downtown Hermann, so extra caution is needed around sidewalks, bicycles, alley and street traffic.

 

Guest responsibilities

​

• Pets must remain on a leash or under direct control when outside the home.

• Pets may not be left unattended inside unless they are securely crated.

• Pets are not allowed on beds or upholstered furniture.

• Please clean up after your pet both inside and outside.

• Excessive barking or disruptive behavior may result in a request that the pet (or guests) return to the home.

 

Liability

 

• Because of unenclosed yards, nearby wildlife, bicycle traffic, and public roadways, we are not responsible for accidents or incidents involving unsupervised pets.

​

• If damage, excessive soiling, or extra cleaning is required, a cleaning or damage fee may apply.​

• Prior notification is required so we can prepare for your pet.

 

We look forward to welcoming your furry family member!

​​

​

CHILDREN'S POLICY

 

We happily welcome families with children at both of our properties. Our whole-house rentals offer complete privacy and are a great choice for family getaways in the heart of Hermann.

​

Supervision

​

• Minor children must be accompanied by an adult and supervised at all times, both indoors and outdoors.

• Children may not be left unattended in the home or on the property.

 

Safety

 

Our homes are located near nature and public roadways. This means there may be occasional wildlife, bicycle traffic, and passing cars. For this reason, we are not responsible for accidents or incidents involving unsupervised children.

​

Respect for neighbors

 

Please ensure children are respectful of neighbors and the surrounding area. If excessive noise or disruptive behavior occurs, we will ask your group to address the situation promptly.

​

We want every family to feel comfortable and safe during their stay. If you have any questions about traveling with children, just let us know — we’re happy to help.
