And speaking of romance . . .
Tell us your Hermann Hill story
Hermann Hill is all about people, which is why we're launching a new program in 2010 to encourage guests to share their stories. We'll present gift certificates to two guests each month, whose stories will be featured in the newsletter and on our web site.
What made your Hermann Hill getaway special? At check-in, we'll give you a form so you can tell us about a special occasion, describe a memorable outing, share a helpful hint. For example, we were moved by the story of a soldier and his wife who stayed with us during his leave from Iraq. Another couple explained how they heat their breakfast ramekins on their Cottage grill. Who knew?
