WILLKOMMEN
Apfelbaum Cottage is a cozy little house located in the beautiful german community of Hermann Missouri, in the heart of Missouri's wine country. The cottage is casual and comfortable, perfect for a quiet retreat, but near many activities.
Within walking distance of the cottage are antique shops, restaurants and award winning wineries. Outside Hermann are eleven more wineries and numerous small towns full of wonderfull shops. The rolling, river filled, hills of Central Missouri are ideal for nature lovers. You can fish, canoe, kayak, hike, bike or do just about any outdoor activity you can think of. For day trips, St. Louis, Six Flags, Jefferson City and Columbia are all less than 1 hour away.
Apfelbaum Cottage accommodates up to four adults, with a queen size bed, and a queen size sofa sleeper. Aside from the warm and inviting living room and bedroom, the cottage also boasts a country kitchen and a spacious bathroom. Each room is stocked with everything you need to be comfortable, including all bed linens, cookware, dishes and towels.
LIVING ROOM
Make yourself at home, the space is all yours to take in a good movie, some music, or sit back with a book. A flat screen TV with cable and built in DVD player, a small DVD library, and a stereo with CD player are provided for your enjoyment. Need more sleeping space? The sofa pulls out to provide a second queen size bed at night.
BEDROOM
Decorated in a rustic Americana theme, this room is warm and inviting. Curl up under the cozy comforter and enjoy a restful night's sleep, or an afternoon nap.
KITCHEN
The homey, country kitchen provides the perfect place to partake in a home cooked meal, or sit around the table and play a game. Everything you need to create that meal, including a full size refrigerator, stove, microwave, cookware, and fun, colorful Fiestaware dishes are provided for your use. For your added convenience, there is also a washer and dryer located in the closet.
BATHROOM
A large bathroom with shower and private toilet enclosure will meet all your needs and you won't have to share it with other guests...it is all yours.
FENCED YARD
The yard is completely fenced and has a picnic table and grill.
Apfelbaum Cottage is new and the inside was completely remodeled and furnished before the 2008 season started. The outside has a fresh coat of paint and we are in the process of adding the details. Soon the outside will be as beautiful as the inside.
Below is a list of some of our favorite things to do in and around Hermann. If that is not enough, search the web, you will find something to keep you busy.
HERMANN
Wineries - Hermannhoff Winery and Stone Hill Winery are a short distance from the cottage and five more wineries are a short drive away.
Restaurants - Hermann has a number of casual restaurants as well as fine dining at the Vintage Restaurant at Stone Hill Winery. We recommend the Rivers Edge Restaurant in Fredericksburg MO for fun casual dining and The Cottage Restaurant and Gallery for fresh hand-grafted dishes.
Shops - Many quaint antique and specialty shops line 1st St., 4th St. and Market St.
Biking - The Katy Trail is located just across the Missouri River and a new bridge has been built with a bike lane for direct access. For more serious riders the rolling hills that surround Hermann are favorites.
Museums - Deutschheim State Historic Site and German School Museum are only a few block from the cottage.
Golf - Loutre Shore Country Club is three miles away offering a semi private 9 hole course.
REGION
Fishing - The Missouri and Gasconade Rivers are favorite fishing spot of locals and visitors alike, as are the many lakes dotting the area.
Canoing & Kayaking - The upper and middle Gasconade are some of the best floating areas in Missouri without the crowd of the Maramec. But, if you want the party of the Maramec it is only an hour away.
Hunting - There are plenty of hunting grounds in the area.
Hiking - Many state and national parks surround Hermann.
Wineries - Besides the wineries mentioned above,eleven more are within a short drive. You can spend a couple days traveling the beautiful countryside sampling Missouri's best wines.
More Shops - Just poke around, you will be amazed at what you will find.
DAY TRIPS
Six Flags - Fun for the whole family only is an hour away.
St. Louis - Home of the Gateway Arch, Rams Football, Cardinal Baseball, Blues Hockey, museums, festivals, etc, is only 1 1/2 hour away.
Jefferson City - Our state capital is an hour from Hermann.
Columbia - At just over an hour away is University of Missouri among other things.

The Baileys & McClures enjoyed every minute of our stay & Hermann. We played "pitch" on your kitchen table & sat outdoors on your picnic table with a bottle of wine and solved parenting problems. We always met here because your place was quiet and comfortable.

Eric & Christy, Thank you for letting us stay in your nice old home. It was very comfortable as well as modernized. We have fun checking out the wineries and Weinerfest (Wurstfest) dog races and costumes, as well as other activities around town. Your home reflects both of your fine detail to attention and historic preservation. I am sure this home will be a favorite for those of us that were fortunate enough to have found out about it.
