Thanks for stopping by to hear about some of the crazy awesome things we have going on.

First and foremost… drumroll please… we are now the sole owners of The Cottage. 

We were able to buy out Lee’s mom at the beginning of the year. This helped her initiate retirement and us continue living out our mission of hospitality by making all of your treehouse dreams come true.

So it’s just the three of us now; Lee, Keely, and the infamous Maple Bacon. She continues to be the best property manager ever. As a fun tribute to her, we commissioned Lee’s mom to do the artwork on 13 pictures of our fabulous property where Maple is hidden in each one of them. You can purchase these as blank cards at our gift shop.

Speaking of, we just got our newest order of mugs and T-shirts in. These make great reminders of your time in the trees or gifts for loved ones. Just tuck a gift certificate inside and quickly jump to the top of everyone’s favorites list.

There are a few things that you will notice as different on your next visit. We hired our oldest daughter, Julie, to help us improve the interior design and decoration.

Notably, you will see new luxurious down comforters in the winter months, and silky smooth cooling blankets in the summer months.

We have a new variety of pillow thickness, teak shower mats, some useful toiletry items, and a fun sticker to brighten your day.

We have also installed security cameras above your exterior door and echo dot inside to help answer questions like, “Alexa, what do I need to do for check out?” Or “Alexa, where is the nearest pizzeria?”

We are currently in the process of power washing and re-staining all the decks, re-roofing the main building, and setting up a beautiful outdoor patio area with lights. It’s all so dreamy. 

Last, but not least, we want to make sure that you’re getting all the information you would like from us. We will be much more active on Facebook and Instagram, so be sure to follow along there. You’ll be awed by promotions and informed with helpful and fun tips about town.

Thank you all so much! Without you, we wouldn’t exist. Nor would our lives be as full of laughs and purpose and coffee book stories as they are now.
Cheers!

Just gotta start off by saying that I love cheese.  It’s one of my favorite toppings, fillings, and snacks of all time.  I have fond memories of eating a simple quesadilla with my mom when I was growing up.  One of my other favorite dishes is Velveeta Cheese with Rotel tomatoes.  That one’s been handed down for generations in my family.  And who can deny one of the festive cheese balls that adorn the tables at holiday parties.  So, needless to say, I get very excited for the Say Cheese Wine Trail in Hermann every year.

The line up for this year’s Say Cheese Hermann Wine Trail was savory, to say the least. Sampling sandwiches, soups, and Sauvignon made such an amazing afternoon for Keely and I.  We always enjoy getting some time away to ourselves, talking about the future, our kids, and other random topics like where is the show Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. headed (our family binge-watching experience this year).  

Throughout the year we want you to enjoy what life has to offer.  Our tree houses in Missouri is one way to do that, but there are so many more experiences to be had in Hermann.  If you have any questions about a quick getaway for your family or maybe just for two, give us a call and we can make your stay with us memorable.

The holidays are here!!!  Thanksgiving has come and gone, the weather is getting colder and more snowy and Christmas time is making its way into our hearts through carols and Christmas spirit.  Spending time with Keely is always one of my favorite things so I love when new wine trails in Hermann approach.  Making breakfast and cleaning rooms together is still a joy in this season of life, but getting the chance to sit, sip, and savor the treats on the wine trail is always a blessing.

The line up for this year’s Holiday Fare Hermann Wine Trail was fantastic.  Soups and sweets and much more were such a delight to share together.  Since my wife is not only a fabulous wife, mother, singer, whistler (hopefully you’ve heard her during breakfast), and cook, she is also an amazing decorator.  That’s why the decorations along the trail were so enjoyable as well.  Pumpkins and Christmas trees, turkeys and falling leaves were all around us.  

As you may have experienced a romantic getaway in any one of our Missouri tree houses, we invite you to take some time at the end of this year and reflect on the blessings you’ve experienced.  We’ve definitely been blessed by you visiting us and we hope that you’ll visit us in Hermann again soon.

I love summer!  As odd as it sounds, the hot weather and long days hold some of my best memories.  Being outside with the kids is such a treat and grilling on the BBQ makes it that much better.  Every year, my wife and I look forward to the Berries and BBQ part of the Hermann Wine Trail.  This year was no exception.  The weather was overcast on Saturday so it made sitting outside such a great treat!  Each of the wineries prepared a delicious Berry / BBQ treat and paired it with one of their delicious wines.  Many thanks to all that helped make this a great (and tasty) event!  Cheers to you.  😉 [Read more…] about 2018 Hermann Wine Trail – Berries and BBQ

Keely and I were so excited for this new version of the Hermann Wine Trail and we were not disappointed. The food was absolutely tremendous! From the Veggie Pizza to the Cashew Chicken Salad, we enjoyed every single bite. In fact, normally we share our food with the kids at home. We would each take a bite and then take the other plate to the kids so they could sample some of the great food we get to enjoy as well. This time, however, was a bit different and we decided to indulge and we are so glad we did. [Read more…] about 2018 Hermann Wine Trail – Farmer’s Table
