Historical 'Kage House' Short Term Rental located in "Old Town Cape"



The building is reminiscent of eighteenth-century New Orleans architecture and was built sometime before 1883. The apartment is on the second story and is always being updated with new and exciting improvements. The 'Kage House' is located at 120 Broadway in the heart of the Old Town Historical District on the corner of Broadway and Main Street and less than a 10 minutes' walk to the 'Century Casino'. On Main Street you will find many fine shops and restaurants, or just enjoy the scenic area as you walkabout. This is by far one of the best places in Cape to stay!!

The bedroom is furnished with a new Stearns and Foster king size firm pillowtop mattress/bed and flat screen tv with viewing of the Mississippi River from the east window. The living room is furnished with a 'Lazy Boy' queen size sleeper sofa and a 65" flat screen tv. The apartment is fully equipped. Internet/wifi usage is included in the price of your stay.

We are continually investing in the historical building. In October the kitchen counter tops were replaced with granite, the bedroom mattress was replaced with a very comfy firm pillowtop Stearns and Foster mattress, and the kitchen window was replaced with a Pella casement window which allows guests to open for fresh air if they wish. Extensive brick tuck pointing was completed in November on the exterior. Future interior renovations are planned.

Directly across the street is a restaurant by the name of Minglewood. You can enjoy dining as well as a large selection of craft beers.

Enjoy relaxing outside on the deck with a river view of the Mississippi and the historical Old Town Cape dynamic downtown area.

You will most certainly enjoy your stay here in comfort and with a bit of history to boot.

Excellent location!
The Kage House is a beautifully appointed property right at the top of the old downtown. The property has more than you need because of the thoughtful owners. Everything downtown is easily walkable. Sitting on the deck watching the river traffic is a highlight!

Another Great Stay
OMG you did it again. Another great stay at the Kage House. It's an amazing place. Right downtown and with the river right there. Love to sit on the deck and watch the people and the boats come and go. Very comfortable place to stay. Good Job!

Kage House
Excellent stay at the Kage house. I was traveling alone travel RN and new to the area. I felt safe and had everything I needed. Keith was very helpful and made sure my stay was stress free! There was a snow storm the day I was checking out to drive back home. Keith arranged for me to have a late check out so I could get a nap (night shift nurse) and the roads were in good condition. 10/10 would recommend.

Secret Place
My husband and I had a very great stay at the Kage House. Even though it is in the heart of old downtown, most people in town doesn't even know it exist. It had everything we needed. Very clean, comfortable, and cozy. We have nothing but good to say about the house.There was very little street noise from people coming and going to the pubs, but it didn't bother us. We even got to meet Keith when we arrived. He is very friendly and showed us around before leaving.The weather didn't cooperate like we planned, but we did get to enjoy a short time out on the deck with a cup of coffee that was left for us compliments of the owners. We only live a few hours from Cape, but wanted a place to rest while experiencing the city. We went to several antique shops, ate a take out dinner of crab legs, seafood gumbo, and cornbread from Broussard's, which is maybe one block from the House. We also ate a nice lunch at Dexter BBQ, very friendly people and good food. Not sure I am suppose to name names, but instead of telling you the bad place we ate, lets just say, Google reviews before trying out different restaurants, or ask the locals. Thanks so much to the owners for providing a nice place to stay. One thing I would have liked was a small cozy settee for two, to sit on in the bedroom facing the window because there is a nice view of the river from that spot, especially on cold days when you can't sit on the deck. I would definitely recommend and stay again. Thanks again, Two from TN

Cape G's Old Town is on the rise, and Kage House is in the heart of it
If you love Mississippi River life, good food, antique and boutique shopping, brew pubs, music, dancing, barcades, farmer's markets, coffee and wine shops, you can't do any better than ensconcing yourself in the heart of Cape Girardeau's most interesting sector, Old Town-- and this well-priced, well-appointed rental apartment will put you exactly where you need to be, in comfort and in style. The historic building has its own parking with only a few steps up to the entrance, and you'll pass the perfect party deck on your way in, offering sun-rise views over the Mississippi and plenty of opportunity for people-watching (don't forget binoculars, at dusk you'll want to check out the opposite river bank for wildlife). With a full kitchen, you'll be able to create your own meal or enjoy the leftovers from last night's dinner out. A nice little sitting area offers a pull-out couch, and the adjoining master bedroom is spacious, offers plenty of light (and both blinds and blackout curtains for overnight), a super-comfy king bed & squashy pillows, great sheets. The bedroom also has incredible views of the river and street life. Even though train tracks are a couple of blocks away and nightlife can get busy, only minimal noise made it through the walls at night, we had no problem sleeping. This isn't usually the case for me, I was surprised I didn't need earplugs (which I forgot to pack anyway). Bathroom is small, but it's clean and the shower pressure is good. Plenty of towels available. My husband and I hope to return because Old Town has more to offer us, and this place is a definite gem. We're hoping we can take it again. (Other suggestions: Minglewood Brewery, Katy O'Ferrell's, "36" Restaurant, and Stevie's Steakburgers. Check out the Farmer's Market in season, it's a jewel.)

This is our third stay here. We love the Kage House and its location. We live only 75 miles from here but it makes a nice weekend get away. The weekend we stayed they were having a car show and our granddaughter had a volleyball tournament in Cape so it worked out great. We will be back!

Perfect stay
What an incredible stay! Waking up to the sunrise over the river was such a peaceful way to start each day. We loved watching the boats drift by and spotting birds while enjoying our morning coffee. The house itself is absolutely beautiful – full of charm and so welcoming. The bed was very comfortable. The thoughtful touches like the snacks and drinks made us feel right at home. The location was perfect – we walked to two local breweries, took a scenic walk along the river, and explored the charming shops on Main Street. We even tried our luck at the casino! Brunch at the restaurant across the street was the perfect way to end our trip. Thank you for such a memorable and relaxing experience. We can't wait to come back!

Weekend Getaway
Property was better than advertised. Really great host, and provided more than expected. The place was very inviting, clean, and spacious. It is in a very convienent and fun part of historical downtown Cape G, all within walking distance. It was relaxing to walk a block away and sit, watching the Mississippi river flow by. I highly recommend staying at this property, you will not be disappointed.

Loved The Kage House! Great property and location! Will definitely be back!
The Kage House is a very comfortable and well maintained property located steps away from great restaurants, upscale bars and shopping in the historical downtown area of Cape Girardeau. My daughter and I stayed there and were very comfortable and pleased with the location, property and area. Keith was great to work with in setting up our stay there, as well. We will most definitely be back!!

Lovely place on the Mississippi
We had a perfect stay here. The owners have made this property comfortable, pleasing and fun. The bed is comfy and the bedding is fluffy and white like a hotel. Fluff white towels in the bathroom and toiletries for guest use. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking. They have spices, a junk drawer for incidentals and lots of coffee. The deck is awesome and the sun coming up over the Mississippi is special! This is a 10. I would stay here again.
