Inn at Hermannhof - The Cottages at Schroeder Hill

skip to main content skip to footer

Carl Schroeder was a jack-of-all-trades in the mid-1800s in the Hermann area. His primary trade was as a stonemason but was also an excellent woodworker and craftsman. Schroeder also produced violins and other stringed instruments. Schroeder Hill includes three separate buildings that guests can rent. Carl Schroeder's residence (The Schroeder House), his tool shed and workshop (the Stonewerks), and his Violin Shop, where he crafted musical instruments. All three units have California King Beds and patios looking out over the southern part of town. These three units are the only three units we offer as private cottages, where you would have the whole building to yourself. Upon arrival, you will receive a complimentary bottle of wine. Breakfast is included each morning between 8:30a-10am down at the main inn building where you check-in.

The Schroeder House is the former residence of Carl Schroeder. The house has a small sitting room, ornate antique furniture, and a brick patio with wooden patio furniture. The bathroom includes a soaking tub and a giant walk-in shower. The bedroom features a pencil-post California King bed. The stone detailing on the house exterior is incredible. Each window is adorned with decorative stone elements, and a stone archway leads you down a path to a secondary entrance to the bed chambers. This is a private cottage (it is not shared with other guests).
