About this property
Farmhouse with lots of fun! Near Jefferson City, MO Sleeps 6!
This quaint ranch-style home is perfectly situated in the heart of Osage County. It's much more than a roof over your head for a night - make it your destination vacation!
The home sleeps six (two queen beds and two twin beds) and has one bathroom.
The back yard has a playhouse, a regular swing set; and a large sandbox with diggers, a deck with six Adirondack chairs and a propane fire pit.
Just 1/2 mile north of beautiful and historic Westphalia, MO, on Highway 63, the home is less than a few miles from several beautiful wedding venues (Kleffner's Ridge, Kempker’s Back 40, St. Joseph's Catholic Church, Westphalia Lions Den and Knights of Columbus Hall), and will accommodate your family in comfortable surroundings.
The home features:
- A large, comfortable living room
- Full kitchen - well equipped with pots, pans, dishes, full-sized refrigerator, stove and microwave -- everything you should need for your stay.
- Large utility room with washer and dryer and plenty of extra storage space, including clothes rack.
- Dining room with seating for six and a fully-stocked coffee bar
- Sun room with wicker couch and rocking chair
- Master bedroom on main level with queen bed
- Bathroom with plenty of towels and washcloths
The upstairs of the home is divided into two bedrooms. The larger of the two rooms is furnished with two twin beds and a small sitting area. The smaller room is furnished with a queen size bed. The upstairs has sloped ceilings on the sides, and the main part of the rooms have a clearance of 6'6".
We call the home "Herman's House," named for Herman Brendel, the man who built it for his bride, Bernadette Koester, in the early 1960's.
While we don't provide breakfast, we have several great options. You can always bring your own food and make use of the kitchen; just down the road is Joe's Market (a fully-stocked grocery store with Hunt Brother's Pizza available); there is also the Eagle Stop with Godfather's Pizza; and Towne Club and Pizza Haus is located on Main Street. The Westphalia Inn coffee house offers all your morning cravings!
Herman's House is a pet-friendly, no-smoking home.
