Oh my goodness - we just had THE best experience staying at Up Up and Away in Hermann, Mo. The Johnson family is so accommodating and welcoming. We stayed in the spa suite and loved it - we "played" in the common room upstairs - large screen t.v., plenty of movies, nice nice nice bar area, balcony and windows with a great view (you really do feel like you are in the Rhineland)...it was quiet and peaceful! Mr. Johnson is a pilot who used to live in Germany with the American military, so military families, especially like mine - my husband served in Germany way back when - will feel quite at home with the pictures on the walls and airplane memorabilia on the walls! I kept on thinking what a great place this would be for an extended family to stay, or a small group of couples who are perhaps visiting the German Wine Road in Missouri. It's just a peaceful getaway in the middle of a gorgeous part of America, with amazing breakfasts, 100% terrific hospitality, great sunsets, and basically, a dream-come-true getaway. Unlike the other reviewers, we knew everyone in our party - so no problems with noise or anything. I'd say that if a few families or couples travel together, everyone should try to stay in suites in the same building - that would be the ideal mix for fun. But, many thanks to our outstanding hosts - Up Up and Away will STAY on our bucket list - that's how great it is! We wish the Johnson family all the best in this endeavor! Also, an extra tip - they also own the Wild Wings restaurant in town - we had lunch there - I don't even normally LIKE wings - but these were heavenly! So tasty - and they actually are prize-winners! And the other food there is great too - I give 10 wows! to the shrimp salad! read more
