My wife and I could not say enough about the hospitality of Maggie and Eldon, the owners of Meyers Hilltop Farm. They really make you feel at home and can't do enough to help you out.

While it is a little bit of a climb to the house up the driveway, the location only helps add to the peacefulness of the bed and breakfast. Also, the bird show out their dining area is fantastic. They fill their bird feeders all year and it pays off in that we saw a flock of goldfinches along with nuthatches, cardinals, blue jays, and woodpeckers. And out in the front area are the famous "guard donkeys" who love to eat crakers out of your hand.

One big reason we stayed at the Hilltop Farm is that it is so easy to get to off the trail, just about 1/4 mile to the north of it. The owners will also glady take you across the river in one of their vehicles to Herman, and then pick you up when you are done. They have a Herman restaurant menu selection in their house so you can get an idea of where you want to dine before you head over (we did Mexican food).

The morning of our departure, a cold front starting moving the area and was supposed to go stationary, with rain and thunderstorms for the next day or so. With this in mind, my wife and I decided to unfortunately end our Katy journey back east to St. Charles. In asking about about a shuttle service back to St. Charles, Maggie and Eldon recommended the bike shop in Herman, and with one call, we were set to have them pick us in a little over an hour from the time of our call and take us back to our van.

I would highly recommend the Meyers Hilltop Farm to anyone.

We had a wonderful stay there as well. Very nice hosts. They drove us over to Hermann for dinner and picked us up after. We enjoyed our get-a-way there very much.

Just returned from our first ride on the Katy Trail. We also enjoyed the accommodations, hospitality and certainly the wonderful breakfast at Meyer's Hilltop Farm.

What a wonderful couple. Meyer's Hilltop was a blessing after a long hot day on the trail. The hospitality was great, the breakfast was out of this world. Just what the doctor ordered.

We had the pleasure of staying two wonderful nights with Maggie and Eldon. It was an absolutely wonderful experience and we would recommend it highly to anyone in the Hermann or McKittrick area.
