Wine and Dine

We came to Hermann to explore the town and Missouri wineries and The Shanty on 5th was the perfect place for us! It was conveniently situated for experiencing Hermann and all it has to offer. The Shanty is well-appointed and the kitchen well stocked with dishes, cutlery, knives (sharp!!!), cookware, and spices so we could cook breakfasts and dinners as desired. We especially appreciated plenty of towels and amenities in the bathroom and the comfy bed. Becky made check-in simple and checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed and was available via text to make sure checkout went smoothly. We would definitely stay here again.

Mommy time-out

My best friend and I wanted to get out of town for a little R and R! We fell n love with this house on the listing. When we arrived it was everything we had hoped for and more! The fun as bright decor, the high end mattresses and luxurious linens were enough to help us sleep well away from home and even catch some extra zzzzz’s. The bathroom is totally made for gal pals to be able to get ready together and still have privacy! The check in process was flawless! We are been received text messages with events and recommendations for in town food, drinks and shopping! The location was perfect! A quick stroll and we were down in the heart of Hermann! Easy to catch a quick Uber (Debbie was so great) or snag the trolley! We felt close to it all, but far enough that a night cap on the back patio was quiet and relaxing. We will definitely be back!!! (And booking The Shed on this property as well!)

Excellent from start to finish

First, Becky was awesome; enough cannot be said about her responsiveness and work to make sure our trip was memorable. The house was very comfortable, well-kept, and had almost anything you could ask for in linens, appliances, and supplies. The location was perfect - most everything was in walking distance of the house (we did not drive once the entire weekend). All in all, would absolutely recommend.

Nice accomodations, but lacks privacy

The home well decorated and is situated on a corner and close enough to walk to many locations, which is nice. Unfortunately no window on the property has anything more than a sheer curtain for privacy, no blinds or opaque curtains even in the bathroom and bedroom. At all hours of the evening there are people walking on the sidewalk which is within ten feet or less from both the bedroom and bathroom. At night, even with sheer curtains, anyone could see inside. The shower area of the bathroom has no light. To see anything at night in the shower we had to shower with the curtain open. When you step out of the shower there is a window with a sheer curtain and no blinds. We found lipstick on one cup (guests wash the dishes themselves and there is no dishwasher). Otherwise the property seemed clean.

Great Location

We had a great time and would stay again. Everything was comfortable and cute. One suggestion, the curtains in the bathroom are gray sheer, and surely see thru at night, maybe not the best for a shower area? Otherwise will stay again and highly recommend.

The cutest house in town!

Ok it's the only house I've stayed in at Hermann but I bet it is the cutest! The decor is so cute and girly inside plus a huge bathroom and we really appreciated having so many mirrors! Perfect location, we walked everywhere (or rode the trolley). The firepit was a nice relaxing place to sit and enjoy a glass of wine at the end of the night.

Loved the Shanty on 5th.

Spent 3 nights over Labor Day weekend at the Shanty. The house is so cute, was very clean, and was perfect for a couple. The owner has thought of every detail possible to make for a perfect stay at the Shanty. We were also provided with so much information for things to do around Hermann, from times wineries were open and what bands were playing when, to restaurant suggestions, etc. Becky the owner was so helpful with anything we needed. The Shanty is within walking distance to all the shops and restaurants located in downtown Hermann. Was also walkable to several of the wineries located right in Hermann. For the wineries too far to walk, the Trolley will pick up right at the front door of the Shanty - just perfect. We will definately stay at the Shanty again.

Anniversary Get away

Becky made the rental process and stay a complete dream. We also purchased the sweetheart package from her. And found the prettiest dozen roses when we got there. She kept us updated on live music and places to go. The house itself was way better than I expected and the pictures don’t do it justice. The neighborhood is quiet and well lit. And you are a short walk from downtown. Well worth the stay. We honestly can’t wait to go back.
