Captain Wohlt Inn

Great anniversary weekend! This is now our «go to» B&B for Hermann, because of the number of rooms available, the diversity of the rooms, and most importantly the experience Brant puts together. When we arrived, Brant had chocolate-​covered strawberries waiting for us in the room for our anniversary along with cookies. He also had a fire pit started with all of the fixings for smores waiting for us. Finally, there is no better breakfast in Hermann. You can’t go wrong with Captain Wohlt Inn!

Come to the Captain’s and Hermann for the ambiance. We stayed in a room at The Captain’s Neighbor. The space was comfortable, cozy, clean and full of conveniences. Added bonuses: privacy, a lit outdoor sitting area, and a very walkable downtown right out the door. Breakfast was traditional and tasty but not excellent. The Captain’s houses are diverse and it’s easy to find the type of room you are looking for.

My husband and in laws and I spent the night here on a Sunday evening after a day at the wineries. WOW! What a great place to stay. This was our first visit to Hermann, so I can’t compare it to much, but I would like to say that the Captain Wohlt Inn is one of the best B&B’s in Hermann. It was very clean, quiet, and beautiful. The landscaping is incredible, you can tell they put a lot of work into keeping the home and property nice. Brant was a wonderful host, very friendly and Mary was an incredible chef! The breakfast was delicious (chocolate filled croissant, fresh fruit and fresh squeezed juice, breakfast burrito and bacon). No complaints whatsoever! Thank you for the great experience!

Loved this place. It was our first B&B experience. Rooms are very nice and clean with own restroom. Breakfast was also great. They have a large yard with 2 fire areas, yard games, hammock, and outdoor lounge area with beautiful gardening. We had s’mores to grill the first night and had a great social area to hang with other guests. Our room was surprisingly quiet considering it was right by the front door and dining area. You are about one block from all the shops, bars, and restaurants; and can hop on the trolley for $ 15 to hit up about 5 of the wineries without worrying about transport. Staff was also great — very friendly with lots of suggestions about what to check out in town. We got a very detailed run through of a map which helped greatly. We would absolutely stay here again.

I have stayed at this place twice now and it has yet to disappoint! The first time we came here was November of 2013 for Veteran’s Day. The Captain Wohlt Inn is VERY supportive of military and gave us (and our 2 military friends) a free night stay for Veteran’s Day. As a result, we decided to come and try them again this past weekend and our stay was EVEN better than last time.
First, the service here is incredible. I came in a little past check-​in time and was met by (I think) the owner. He checked me in quickly and carried my heavy bag up 2 flights of stairs. During breakfast, the staff were extremely attentive. They made sure my food came out quickly and my water was constantly refilled. On the topic of breakfast… their breakfasts are AMAZING. Seriously, some of the best (if not the best) breakfasts I have ever had in my entire life. This past Saturday’s breakfast included salted caramel scones, a mint fruit salad, fried potatoes, and an egg quiche. It was so good I thought they couldn’t top it… but they definitely did this morning. Today, we had an amazing fruit and yogurt parfait with homemade granola, bacon, baked eggs, and (I believe) asiago apricot french toast. SO very good. The breakfast alone is reason enough to stay here forever.
In addition to the free breakfast, you also get 2 free huge cookies every day. They are SO good (which shouldn’t be surprising given their great breakfasts). We tried a chocolate chip cookie as well as an oatmeal caramel raisin cookie (at least that’s what I thought it was). Both were amazing! Finally, in addition to free cookies and a great breakfast, they have an amazing patio space. It is completely lit up at night and has 2 fire pits. Each night they have the supplies to make s’mores, which is also fantastic.
In terms of the room, it was really nice. What I really like is they updated their rooms recently. Our room was sleek and modern with gray walls and white-​striped sheets. The design made for a really classy space. I appreciate this as I’m not the type of person who likes the bed and breakfasts that look like your grandma’s house. They also had really nice toiletries in the bathroom.
During both of our stays, we stayed in one the attic rooms since it is their cheapest room. I will say that my husband and I are under 5’5 and this probably isn’t the room to stay in if you’re tall (especially with regard to the shower). If you’re short though, then this is the room for you! If you’re tall, they have tons of other rooms to choose from. With that said, this place (and others in Hermann) book up quickly so don’t delay!
In sum, amazing food, great service, modern rooms, and a fantastic outdoor space (all for a really affordable price). I don’t think I’d dream of staying any place else in Hermann. We most certainly will be back in the future!

Great little place to stay with an amazing breakfast! Nice laid back atmosphere with a charming outdoor area. The fresh baked cookies are an extra special touch.

I surprised my wife with a weekend stay here. The breakfast is truly awesome. No fake crap here. They use real butter and everything is gourmet. If you want a versatile bed and breakfast this place is it. If you want quiet seclusion they have a room. If you want to socialize with other guests, they have rooms closer to the action. They got 20 rooms! All different types and prices. Brant was very accommodating and again, amazing breakfast. We will stay here again.

We just returned from a delightful stay at Captain Wohlt Inn in beautiful Hermann. The inn is in a great location within easy walking distance to many shops and restaurants. We enjoyed the evening bonfires, the homemade cookies and most especially the wonderful gourmet breakfasts prepared by Mary. This was not just the best breakfast in town — but maybe anywhere!
The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We would highly recommend this bed and breakfast.

We truly enjoyed our overnight stay, absolutely nothing negative to say! The establishment was obviously well cared for and the small touches were so inviting (cookies, waters, breakfast, things to do). Will stay here again next time we’re in Hermann!

Captain Wohlt Inn is currently under renovation. What it lacks in charm (which I’m sure is temporary) is made up for in hospitality. There may be nicer B&Bs in the area, but the reasonable price, delicious breakfast, convenient location, and charm of the innkeeper is what makes this place special. An evening fire, a place to store our bikes, cookies waiting in the room. It was great. So, had the customer service not been so great I would have given it three stars but it deserves four.

Worth a visit, and very affordable!
Since we were sightseeing, and not planning to spend a lot of time in the room, we got an attic room. It was very cozy, comfortable, neat, and unique.
Matt and Mary were both very kind, energetic, and welcoming hosts. They enjoy what they do, and it shows! Matt welcomed us in on the evening of our visit, and showed us the room options and where everything was around Hermann; and Mary was our gracious housekeeper and chef.
The breakfast was fantastic!!! The first course was a cinnamon and blueberry muffin with fresh-​cut fruit, while the second course included scrambled cheesy eggs with sausage and Wurst Haus-​authentic met-​wurst. The breakfast was homemade in the kitchen right around the corner from the dining room. I watched Mary prepare part of it! For an equivalent breakfast at some restaurants, the room would have come for free!
We were fortunate to join another couple for breakfast from Glasgow, Missouri, who we enjoyed getting to know over coffee and breakfast.
I haven’t stayed in other B&B’s in Hermann, but I would go back!

Stayed at Captain Wohlt Inn October 15, 2012 while riding the Katy Trail, loved the privacy and the beautiful pattios and gardens. The in town location was perfect for walking to local shops and resturants.

We stayed at this B&B for my 26^th birthday in early August. Got there at 5:30 on Friday and stayed through Sunday morning. It was a wonderful time!
Kent is a wonderful host and we really enjoyed our stay. We stayed in the Irish Room, which is actually across the street in the ‘Captain’s Neighbor’. Our room had a private bathroom and TV as well as central a/​c (helpful for midwest summers!). The Captain Wohlt is right in the middle of Hermann, easy location for quick walks around town. The breakfasts are delicious and filing. Any time we go back to Hermann, we’ll be sure to stay at the Captain!

We stayed over a Saturday night at the Captain Wohlt Inn. Kent was a gracious host and the room was clean and comfortable. At breakfast the next morning, Kent told us all some of the history of the town and of the Captain. We also met some interesting people, as we often do at B&B’s.
The location couldn’t be much better. It’s just a short walk to bars, restaurants and shops.
Although we weren’t blown away by any aspect of our stay, it was definitely a good choice for the price. We also appreciate that we can book a single night on the weekend, although that might not be the cast in the busier months.
3 ½ stars, rounded to 4.

We loved this place, our favorite B&B on our long Katy Trail bike ride last month. Nice big room that was clean and up to date (we were in the upstairs of the separate house), even had a laundry to wash our bike stuff. Breakfast was tasty. Location very central and can walk to lots of shopping and food. Checking in is restricted to 4 – 6, but if late call. Very good place for bike riders.

The accommodations were nice enough but the service was not. After making our reservations, we called for days without making contact. The checkin is from 4 – 6 pm. Don’t bother trying to check in early. She won’t be there nor will she answer her phone. The entire place was run down and a bit tired. The breakfast was nothing special. It was a very small portion and quite simply not very good. My wife and I were glad to leave this place behind and head back home!
