They say dog’s are man’s best friend, however, at Hermann Hill we believe they are more like family. As dog owners we know how hard it can be to find accommodations for all the family-including “fur babies.” That is why we offer several select rooms at our Vineyard Inn and River Bluff Cottages when traveling to Hermann. Not only do we put them up for the night but we treat them like one of the guests. All “fur babies” will receive a complimentary traveling dog food bowl to take home, Chef Rhonda’s Homemade dog cookies and bottled water and their own dog bed to use during their stay (We’ve included the recipe for the dog cookies below).
Additionally, when you and your dog stay at Hermann Hill make sure you send us a picture of your fur family member relaxing during their stay and a short Bio of your fur baby and their likes and dislikes. We’ll enter your best photo into a monthly drawing to win a $50 gift certificate.
This months winner is Meeko a 3 month old Morkie.
Meeko James was born March 5, 2017. He loves to come celebrate summer time at Hermann Hill and seeing his buddy Lewis. He loves nap time with his mama, and his favorite squeaky toy tiger and to go on car rides with his family. He will shake your hand all day for treats especially the ones from chef Rhonda.- Zenna, St. Louis, Mo
