“We really need to get together.”

How many times have you said it?

At the end of a phone call.

In the group text.

Under an old photograph someone posted.

After running into a friend you haven't seen in far too long.

“I miss you!”

“We HAVE to get everybody together again.”

“Let's plan a weekend!”

“Absolutely! Soon!”

And then...

Life happens.

Work gets busy.

Kids have schedules.

Grandkids have schedules.

Someone is remodeling.

Someone is moving.

Someone has a wedding.

Someone has a birthday.

Someone says, “This month is crazy. What about next month?”

And somehow another season passes.

Then another year.

So here's a thought:

Pick the weekend.

Not the perfect weekend.

Not the weekend when every person has absolutely nothing else happening.

Just pick a weekend when the people who matter can come together.

Because the friends you keep saying you need to see?

You actually need to see them.

And we know a pretty unforgettable place where you can do it.

Imagine sending this message to your group:

“Okay, everybody. We're actually doing it. Hermann, Missouri. Three days. Who's in?”

Now you've changed everything.

It's no longer “We should.”

It's a plan.

Hermann, Missouri is a wonderful destination for a friends' weekend, reunion getaway, couples' trip, girls' weekend, milestone celebration or simply a long-overdue gathering of people who haven't spent enough time together.

You can explore Missouri wine country, visit wineries and distilleries, discover restaurants, walk around Hermann, shop, enjoy music and entertainment during your visit, take in the scenery and simply have fun together again.

And after your adventures in Hermann?

Come home to the country.

Yes.

Grain bins.

If you're finally getting the gang back together, why stay somewhere ordinary?

Hermann Grain Bins Bed and Breakfast and Retreat Center offers a unique lodging experience outside Hermann, Missouri, surrounded by 11 peaceful country acres, towering pine trees and beautiful Missouri oaks.

Our two-story guest grain bins connect to our large red barn, creating a memorable home base for your Hermann getaway.

This isn't about disappearing into separate hotel rooms at the end of the evening.

This is about being together.

Eating together.

Laughing together.

Sitting outside together.

Playing cards together.

Remembering stories together.

And probably hearing at least one person say:

“Why did we wait so long to do this?”

A quick dinner together is wonderful.

But by the time everybody arrives, orders, eats and catches up, it's almost time to leave.

A three-day friend getaway in Hermann, Missouri gives you something completely different:

TIME.

Time for the first night's excited reunion.

Time for the stories.

Time for the wineries.

Time for a leisurely meal.

Time to explore Hermann.

Time for another cup of coffee.

Time for somebody to pull out an old story that makes everyone laugh until they cry.

Time for the conversations that don't happen in a two-hour dinner.

And maybe even time to do absolutely nothing together.

That's part of vacation too.

Cars start pulling in.

Doors open.

Bags come out.

And suddenly the people you've been trying to get together for months—or perhaps years—are standing in the same place.

The reunion has officially begun.

Settle into the Grain Bins.

Explore the property.

Sit beneath the pine trees.

Find your favorite gathering spot.

Then head into Hermann for dinner or begin exploring the town.

But don't overschedule everything.

Leave room for what you've really come for:

each other.

Wake up in the Missouri countryside and start your morning together with a farm-to-table breakfast in our gathering space, the Roost.

Depending upon the menu and seasonal availability, breakfast may include local eggs, locally sourced sausage or bacon, breakfast casseroles, pancakes and syrup, homemade muffins, breads or pastries, jams and jellies, fruits and vegetables, coffee, tea and local honey.

And we believe a proper morning deserves a big coffee mug.

Then decide:

What sounds fun today?

Explore Hermann's historic charm.

Walk around town.

Visit wineries.

Try a distillery.

Discover restaurants.

Shop.

Look for live music or events taking place during your stay.

Take a scenic drive through Missouri wine country.

Or change your plans completely because someone spotted something interesting along the way.

That's one of the joys of traveling with old friends.

You don't always need an itinerary.

Sometimes you just need everybody in the same car.

Here's another reason your group may enjoy staying at the Hermann Grain Bins:

The Hermann Trolley can pick up and return guests right at our front door.

So your group can make the Bins your country home base while enjoying the attractions and experiences of Hermann.

Explore.

Have fun.

And when you're ready...

come back home to the Bins.

This may become one of your favorite parts of the entire getaway.

Come back from Hermann.

Change into comfortable clothes.

Sit on the patio.

Gather around the firepit.

Pull out the cards.

Play a game.

Pour the coffee.

Talk under the trees.

Look at old photographs.

Tell stories you've told a hundred times.

Remember people and places you haven't talked about in years.

And eventually somebody will say:

“Do you remember when...?”

Oh boy.

Now you're in trouble.

Because that story leads to another story.

Which leads to another.

And suddenly it's late, your face hurts from laughing, and you realize something:

This is why you came.

Not just for the destination.

Not just for the wineries.

Not just for the food.

Not even because sleeping in a grain bin makes a fantastic story.

You came because you missed these people.

There's something special about the last morning of a friends' getaway.

Everyone knows the weekend is winding down.

So don't race through it.

Come to breakfast.

Pour another cup of coffee.

Sit together.

Talk about yesterday.

Take a few more photographs.

Walk outside.

Enjoy the country morning.

And before everyone leaves, do one very important thing:

Don't wait until everyone gets home.

Don't restart the endless group-text discussion six months from now.

Don't say:

“We really need to do this again sometime.”

You've already learned that lesson.

Instead say:

“Same time next year?”

And put it on the calendar.

Then stop limiting yourselves to weekends.

Seriously.

A weekday getaway to Hermann, Missouri may be exactly what finally makes the reunion happen.

Look at Sunday through Thursday possibilities.

Check everyone's vacation days.

Look at retirement schedules.

Look at flexible work schedules.

Look at birthdays and anniversaries.

Then check which Hermann attractions, wineries, distilleries and restaurants you want to experience and their operating days and hours during your planned visit.

The important thing is this:

Don't let Saturday become the reason you never get together.

Sometimes Tuesday can make a pretty fantastic Saturday.

Here's another trap:

“We need an occasion.”

No, you don't.

Friendship is the occasion.

Twenty years of knowing each other is an occasion.

Surviving raising children together is an occasion.

Still laughing at the same ridiculous stories is an occasion.

Knowing who someone was before they became who they are today is an occasion.

Being able to sit beside somebody in complete silence and still feel comfortable is an occasion.

Having people in your life who know your history and still answer your calls?

That's definitely an occasion.

If so, we're very glad your search brought you here.

Because Hermann Grain Bins Bed and Breakfast and Retreat Center was made for something bigger than simply finding somewhere to sleep.

It's a place to gather.

Think of the people you immediately pictured when you started reading this.

You already know who they are.

Maybe they're your college friends.

Your high school friends.

Your old neighbors.

Your cousins.

Your sisters.

Your work friends who became real friends.

The couples you've traveled through life with.

The friends you raised children beside.

Or the people who knew you long before careers, mortgages, children and responsibilities filled the calendar.

You don't need another year of saying:

“We should really get together.”

You need someone in the group to finally say:

Be that person.

Start the group text.

Send everybody this article.

Give them three possible dates.

Choose one.

Then make the reservation.

Life probably isn't going to suddenly clear everyone's calendar for you.

There will always be another obligation.

Another project.

Another reason to postpone.

But there will also always be those people you wish you saw more often.

Make room for them.

Come spend a day, two days or—our favorite idea—a long three-day getaway exploring Hermann, Missouri and enjoying time together in the countryside.

Visit the wineries.

Explore the distilleries.

Eat somewhere delicious.

Walk through Hermann.

Listen to music.

Ride the trolley.

Laugh around the firepit.

Sleep somewhere you'll be talking about long after you leave.

Wake up to breakfast you didn't have to cook.

And most importantly...

be together.

Because ten years from now, you probably won't remember the weekend you stayed home and caught up on chores.

But you just might remember the weekend everybody finally showed up.
