Dear [fname],
In Memoriam—A Tribute to Fred
All of us at Hermann HIll are in mourning for Fred, our loving and faithful companion who died on May 4. For eight happy years, Fred greeted guests, offered to share his toys, mooched treats, and longed for the day when he would be allowed to tag along on the three-mile walk.
Gracie, who has taken up Fred's duties as chief guest greeter, won’t be lonely for long. A new puppy—a black lab/chocolate lab mix—will be arriving at the Inn in about three weeks. If you have an idea for a name, please send us an email with " puppy name” in the subject line.
Mid-week stays at Hermann Hill now come with some great extras.
Guests staying two or more week nights (Sunday-Thursday) now through May 26 will receive $20 in Hermann Bucks to spend like cash at local wineries, restaurants, and shops. In addition, we've put together an interesting menu of extras for mid-week guests to choose from, depending on the length of stay. (Two-nights—pick one, three-nights—pick two, four-nights—pick four, five-nights—pick four)
- An additional $20 in Hermann Bucks
- A $50 Hermann Hill gift certificate (no restrictions or expiration date)
- Two bottles of our signature Port Chocolate Raspberry Sauce
- $30 toward an en suite massage with Massage for your Health
- Brat Grilling Package with all the fixings for a cook-out on your Cottage deck, including a basting brush and mug.
There's more good news . . . This promotion counts toward our popular Frequent Stay program. Guests who earn 10 credits (each night's stay equals one credit) receive a gift certificate equal to 10 percent of what they've spent. That usually means their eleventh night is free.
Last month's "threads" winners enjoyed the rare luxury of alone time together.
Chris and Alice of Fenton write . . . We were so blessed to celebrate our ninth wedding anniversary at Hermann Hill this year! It was our first night away from our home and children ever. So, you can say we were celebrating a kind of intimacy and freedom that is atypical of our life together thus far. Hermann Hill Inn is very beautiful and luxurious—we enjoyed every amenity and every moment. Our hope is to make this an annual getaway—and not wait another nine years!
Chris and Theresa of Kansas City write . . . We came to Hermann to celebrate Chris’s 43rd birthday and to attend the Wurstfest. From the amazing views to the warm cookies at night, Hermann Hill made us feel like it was our home away from home. From the comfort of our bed, cuddling in front the fire, we enjoyed watching snow cover Hermann in a blanket of white. We felt like we were living in a snow globe. There is nothing better than waking up in the arms of the love of your life, looking over a vineyard at a breathtaking sunrise. We could stay here forever!
