Charming place to stay

We had a delightful stay in this charming house. It was roomy and had most everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was fun to have a view of the Mississippi.

Great place!

The house was very clean and plenty of room for college friends to get back together for a weekend. Great location too! Owner was very helpful when I had questions. Would definitely stay here if I visited again!

Nice enough

We had a nice stay. The house was clean and served our purpose. The only negative was the downstairs bathroom, we only used the shower once due to water going all over the floor. It isn’t a shower stall but a drain in the floor with an inadequate lip to keep the water contained

Half way point

Cape Girardeau is about the halfway point for us (Wisconsin) and friends from Mississippi. This VRBO is ideally located within walking distance to plenty of restaurants, shops and bars. Property is very clean, has the basics and communication with the owner was super easy. The saloon-style doors for the downstairs bathroom were a little unexpected, but we made it work. We enjoyed our stay and would recommended this property for a long weekend.

Great Location and Home

This home sits close to the river and near some nice places to eat and talk a walk near the river. Away from the busier parts of town but just a quick drive to all of the chain restaurants and shopping. The home was nice and clean with all of the amenities including shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Was pleasantly surprise to find a couple fans for the ones need one to sleep blowing on them.

Felt like home

We visited the historic river town of Cape Girardeau to see family and wanted our own space. We always admire historic homes, but have never owned one, so this was our opportunity to feel like we lived there. Leaded glass cabinets, but beautifully remodeled modern kitchen, full laundry room, etc. It was wonderful being so near the river, we could see huge barges making their way north from the windows or porch. Great restaurants, coffee, etc. down town. The host was always very responsive, she has a passion for hosting and it shows.

Lots of room, peaceful

I’m bad about reading instructions, didn’t fill out agreement 24 hours prior to check-in, so code didn’t work right away, but after calling I was let in immediately. House is nice. You can see the river from inside the house or anywhere in the yard. Room for kids (or adults) to play or sprawl out in the floor without a bunch of unnecessary furniture and breakables. Board games, puzzles in dining room cabinet, lots of apps on tv, silverware, pots, pans, utensils, dishes, cups, and spices in the kitchen, plus coffee pods, sugar, and creamer. Love the exposed brick! The sitting furniture in the living room is comfortable with good throw pillows. Coffee table is the right size to play games, do puzzles together. Tv is a good size. The backyard is a nice place to have a picnic and watch birds. Back porch has 2 good sized rocking chairs while the front porch has a swing big enough for at least a few people facing the river. Backyard has a hammock hanging from a small pergola. Beds are beautiful and comfortable. I slept like a log. Pillows are plentiful, blankets are sufficient with ceiling fan on. Huge refrigerator and freezer with ice tray. Large dishwasher, stove, oven, microwave. Double sink for food prep or lots of dirty dishes. City water is good and water pressure is phenomenal! It’s nice to just turn off the lights, lock the doors, and go. It was so, very quiet the entire weekend. Will definitely try to stay again, someday!
