About this property

Spirit Hill offers a home away from home for 2 to 8 guests. The contemporary red house is located on a bluff overlooking the Missouri River in Hermann, the most beautiful small town in Missouri. Just five blocks from the Historic District, Spirit Hill is a quiet retreat that's less than a 5-minute drive from anywhere in town - wineries, museums, restaurants, shops, wedding venues, marina, bike trail, Amtrak. And the Hermann Trolley picks up right at our mailbox whenever you call!

Spirit Hill accommodates a group of eight with four queen bedrooms, each with private bath. The home was recently remodeled for a fresh, contemporary feel.

(For just two guests, the lower level Patio Suite is available for midweek dates, Mondays through Thursdays.)

There's plenty of parking upstairs and down. And the house is completely accessible, with a roll-in front door and one bedroom with a roll-in shower.

Whole House rental includes living/dining area, full kitchen and generous deck with gas grill. Coffee and tea supplies are provided, and biscotti snacks. Breakfast and all meals are up to you. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, dishes, and even spices.

Hosts are on-site in the lower level Innkeepers Suite to answer any needs you may have.

Your rental has its own separate entrance. We enjoy meeting you on arrival, but after that, the house is your own unless you need something. We're glad to suggest grocery locations, restaurants, wineries and activities if you like.

In operation for more than 10 years, we enjoy sharing Spirit Hill's comfortable spaces and beautiful views with our guests, some of whom have been joining us for many repeat visits.

If you're in town for a wedding, Spirit Hill accommodates the wedding party or multi-generations of family for a mini-reunion. Groups of friends, couples or singles, enjoy relaxing on the deck or around the dining table for meals, games and laughter.

Great views, close to town.

Neat house, neat spot. Quiet but close to everything. Winery Trolley picked us up at the house. Really wanted to use the fire pit and enjoy the river views but we needed a longer stay !!

Celebrating a wedding and two birthdays, it was a beautiful house and decor. The outside of the house was as beautiful the inside.

About the host

Hosted by Marsha Nyberg

We happened on Spirit Hill one day when we were staying in a Bed & Breakfast in Hermann. The stunning river view stopped us in our tracks! And there was a 'For Sale' sign in the yard ... so three weeks later, Spirit Hill was ours! After six years of enjoying weekends in the charming historic town of Hermann, we were able to move in full time. We did a complete rehab and expansion based on meeting the needs of our guests. It resulted in a completely new look, four bedrooms with ensuite baths, a separate Innkeepers Suite, and a beautiful, rocky landscape with two small fish ponds and a waterfall. We love to share the beauty and benefits of the property and the town!
In late 2021, our family was joined by Fauci, our cavapoo puppy. She enjoys her own fenced section of the back yard, and has never met a guest she doesn't adore!

Why they chose this property

Only a few homes in Hermann enjoy such a beautiful river view. Year round, it's satisfying to watch the river flow and to see the water rise and fall with the seasons. Views from inside and outside the house make Spirit Hill a truly special place.

What makes this property unique

Spirit Hill was remodeled to resemble a Swedish summer house, with red walls and white trim, as a nod to our family's Swedish roots. The light is an important feature of the house, with windows spreading light from front to back. Even after dark, Spirit Hill is a fine location to watch for shooting stars, away from city light pollution.
