- "My husband and I along with one other couple stayed here while in Cape for a wedding. The location was nice and was a short distance for driving or Ubering around town. The price was great!! Highly recommend." - "We were in the area for our daughter’s ball tournaments. This house was perfect for us. Kids loved the downstairs setup for their gaming and hangout spot they stayed there literally all weekend! It was perfect for our dog as it has an enclosed fence for them to run around in freely while we sat on the enclosed screened in porch keeping an eye as she ran around and got her zoomies out. Any questions I had were answered promptly and anything I needed was taken care of immediately. My son left a Xbox controller behind and I contacted owner later that evening and she accommodated and had someone go check and see if it was there while we was still in town to be able to grab it. Sure enough it was lol. The willingness to go above and beyond was definitely done one this trip!! Thank you for such great hospitality! Most definitely will book again if ever in the area Melissa M.

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.

The home has a beautiful backyard garden that you are able to enjoy as well. It is an easy walk to restaurants, shops and the riverfront.

Would stay again if needed." - "Great location directly across the street from campus. Very clean. Very hospitable hosts. Cool 70’s vibe without feeling old and outdated. We will be back." - "Perfect location and the host was perfect!" - "First impression was "That's a lot of stairs." (My mom has bad knees and if I had known it was on the second floor, I might not have booked this unit.) As we walked in, it reminded me of Grandma's house but was very clean and it didn't take long to make ourselves at home. Furniture was comfy, more than enough bedding, well-stocked in every way! There were notes regarding the wifi-password which was nice! Communication was great from Jo - I was lacking a bit because it was a crazy week for me - but everything went perfectly! They also provided an extra air mattress so my husband and I didn't have to share a twin bed (THANK YOU AGAIN!!). I'd book again - as long as my momma wasn't with me. :)"

- "We live in a nearby town but was looking forward to a friends evening while our teenage daughters hit the rodeo down the road. Everything was great, we sat on the rooftop until 3AM and had the best time! I was honestly mostly worried about road noise since I’m a light sleeper but the place was quiet and the mattress was perfect. We didn’t really have any directions for checking out so hopefully the start of the laundry was ok. Andrew was nice enough to recommend some local restaurants as we are not so much into chains. Celebrations is just down the street from the house they served up the best steak and we can’t wait to come back. Thanks again Andrew!"

- "This property was perfect for stepping away from life for a week. The pool is why we booked here, and it did not disapoint! Surrounded by trees, the pool was absolutely amazing to enjoy; the perfect Missouri summer. The home's decor is adorable, and the beds are comfy! There is lots of room to spread out, and the kitchen is perfect for preparing meals and snacks. 10/10 would recommend, and we hope to come back soon." - "With families like ours, I can only imagine the expense of upkeep and improvements and we had no problem with the furnishings or interior. The pool was great and the main reason why this home was chosen, so if I would make improvements, it would be the grounds around the pool and house; A stiff broom for keeping the mulch off the patio would be helpful in keeping the pool clean with children around; I would also minimize the pool toys to a few good quality pieces and new storage for these items outside of the landscaping mulch. Things worked out perfectly for our large gathering of grandchildren of various ages. Kitchen was nice and pool table is a great entertainment benefit. Everyone was very happy with the interior and everything was clean and in order. Communication with the owners was very quick and helpful."

Extended stays at "BRICKYARD” will enjoy generous discounts through the end of the year: 20% off reservations of a week of more. And guests who stay for a month (twenty-eight days) or more will enjoy a discount of 45% off of their stay at The C.B. & Ora Dell Crabtree House, a Dutch Colonial "kit house" built in 1920! We call it "Brickyard" because as we were renovating, it seemed that everywhere we put a shovel in the ground, we found ANOTHER brick!

OUR FAMOUS NEIGHBOR
That may make sense when you realize that "Brickyard" sits right next to The Sherwood-Menton House (built in 1846) -- established by The Rev. Adiel Sherwood as The Cape Girardeau Academy - a Baptist school for boys; then later, The Washington Seminary for Young Women; next home to the lawyer Mr. Matthew Moore, who was editor of the Southern leaning newspaper, 'The Cape Girardeau Eagle', who fled with his family when Cape was occupied during the Civil War, leaving the house fully furnished. Seized by The Union as "Southern contraband" it first served as officers' quarters and then as a Civil War hospital. We have one of the most storied and historic houses in Cape Girardeau as our neighbor!

GOING DUTCH
The architectural style of "Brickyard" is Dutch Colonial Revival, a style of architecture popular in the Hudson River Valley with the early settlers of New York. In restoring the house we decided to explore that connection even further.
The "Dutch" influence gets repeated throughout the house; from the Dutch door welcoming guests on the front porch to the many tulips and other flowers planted in the yard; from the blue and white, vintage "everyday" dinnerware called "Countryside", a Delft dinnerware pattern made by Wedgwood to the antique blue and white Delft porcelain and brass chandelier we imported for the kitchen! (Okay, "technically" our Delft chandelier came from Denmark ... but, close enough!)

THE LAYOUT
The original 1920 floorplan of this kit home on Washington Avenue was actually called, "The Washington" by The Standard Home Company.

UPSTAIRS: features the "private" bedroom and bath spaces
* Bedroom 1: is a "master suite" with a modern Queen brass bed from Crate & Barrel featuring Ralph Lauren (or similar quality) bed linens. Storage is not a problem with an antique armoire and two closets -- one with a shoe drawer (soon to be completed). And at the end of the day, curl up with a favorite book, a throw blanket, and a cup of tea in the vintage plaid reading chair or two red Chinoiserie wingback chairs flanking a large round, tufted ottoman.
* Bedroom 2: This bedroom is designed to bring the outdoors in. It is furnished with a Deco inspired, burled wood "bedroom suite". This antique set from The Commonwealth of Kentucky includes a full size bed, vanity desk, and a dresser. There are two closets in this bedroom.
* Bathroom 1: is a spacious full bath with a large walk in shower supplied with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Step out of the shower and onto a hygienic diatomaceous earth bathstone while drying off with lush 100% organic Turkish cotton bath towels from Crate & Barrel. The bathroom has great lighting as well as natural light. The toilet is discretely tucked behind a wall.
* The Laundry Room - is conveniently located on the second floor and has all the essential items: ironing board, iron, spray starch, laundry detergent sheets, Oxyclean, a place to let clothes hang to dry, and brand new Samsung stackable front-loading washing machine and dryer.

The MAIN FLOOR featured the "common areas" of the house for shared living.
* The Living Room - Design in the 1920's was surprisingly "modern" reflecting the discovery of atoms and the promise of an atomic age -- note the sunburst mirror behind the sofa and the four Andromeda Sputnik wall sconces by Robert Abbey.
We also drew inspiration from the Palm Springs retreats of the starlit set who graced the silver screen. Desert Hollywood bungalows in places like Old Las Palmas held Bohemian and Hollywood glam elements together, in equal parts.
Our interpretation of that deliberate blending of styles is perhaps best expressed by the Bohemian Bamboo Loveseat and Ottoman, the antique blonde, Japanese Tansu Chest, and the elegant Ralph Lauren Kirsten Sofa that is practically a day bed -- perfect for afternoon naps or an unexpected guest.
The vintage Whittall Anglo-Wilton Persian rug in the center of the living room, called "Bird of Paradise," came from Mother Grant, matriarch of the Grant Family. This pattern was one of three matching rugs in varying sizes that she collected. Matthew J. Whittall’s handsome and durable wool carpets were made in Worcester, Massachusetts.
The Living Room has the widest range of juxtaposed modern and antique pieces -- from a weighted Yamaha electronic keyboard -- the rehearsal keyboard for San Francisco Lyric Opera and Urban Opera on the south end of the room to an antique "kitchen clock" by Elias Ingraham at the north end of the room -- a wedding present given to great grandparents, Avery Rosewell, Sr, and Sarah “Sadie” Ellen (Hahn) Crites in 1913 which has faithfully chimed the hour ever since -- Or how about the Sony 50" Frame Television which hangs above an antique mantel (more on the mantel in a moment) while Mother Grant's rocker -- which rocked many-a Grant baby "many-a mile" -- now sits in the corner, observing all of the comings and goings at Brickyard.
Fun fact: The light gold wall stencil, shimmering behind the Kirsten sofa, has a bee in it. See if you can spot it.
The advent of kit homes brought about a standardization of certain furnishings. By 1920, most fireplace mantels in American "kit houses" were 72" long (unless it was for an extremely large mansion or a very small cottage). Sadly, the current mantel is not the original mantel at "Brickyard" - but it is 72" in length. This vintage mantel came from a house near York, Pennsylvania. And as luck would have it, the curvature of the brickwork matches the curvature of the mantel perfectly. Sometimes, you just get lucky! Yet, as beautiful as the fireplace is; it only smokes -- even after we added additional height to the chimney. But, given the size of the living room vs. the size of the fireplace, it would run you out of there in no time if it did work!
* The Dining Room - An elegant, antique Bombay chest serves as a sideboard in front of cork wallpaper on an accent wall. The accent wall was originally a closet. Back in the day, a good host would welcome guests at the front door and offer to hang up their coat, cloak, or jacket. (We reclaimed the space to add a much needed pantry in the kitchen instead.) A striking china deck filled with family heirloom dinnerware from the period holds patterns collected by aspirational aunts who dreamt of someday, finally “making it." Collecting any of these sets of dishes helped convince them (and of course their friends and neighbors) that they had indeed, successfully made it to the American middle class. The dining table and chairs belonged to “Big Mom” and “Papa," Freda and Gene Grant and this is just one of the MANY colors it was painted over time. It was the table the family used for supper when they lived out “on the farm”where The Grant Family managed the cotton production for The McMullin Estate, just north of Sikeston, in "Grant City". The table also hosted many of Papa's poker games and countless hands of Liverpool rummy with Big Mom's THIRTEEN brothers and sisters: The Lamberts of Sikeston. (Yes, THOSE Lamberts.)

* The Back Porch with a frog “gigger,” crystal chandelier, and an outdoor bathroom which was added in memory of Chip’s father, E.E. "Chuck" Grant III who would not be well with having to walk upstairs or downstairs to go to the bathroom. And you know, he was right! It is MUCH more convenient to have a toilet and sink on each floor!

The “feel” of * The Basement is reminiscent of the open floor plan of the industrial loft where we lived in The South End of San Francisco, California. Originally, it was home to a monstrous Holland coal burning furnace that was as big as “Robot” from “Lost in Space” (look it up) with eight arms running off in every direction. It filled half the space and was terribly inefficient. (Three of its five pieces are in the backyard; two pieces form the firepit.) We painted the ceiling black so it would “disappear” and the eye would be drawn to the basement windows overlooking the garden and the park, punctuated by some favorite copies of the iconic work of the clever and always irreverent graffiti artist, “Banksy." The toile paneling around the efficiency kitchenette was originally in the dining room! We had to save it; just not upstairs.

There is a desk for writing, dining room area and bedroom area with a queen size bed and a daybed that can sleep an additional 2. There’s a bathroom/shower and dressing area with a full length mirror. A full kitchen is located right off of the living room. At the end of the day you can relax and listen to the crackles of the fire in the fireplace or sit outside and watch the deer pass by. There is also a pavilion that can be used for additional charge. Please inquire owner. When you do book our wonderful cabin you will have 2 options for a damage deposit, a refundable deposit and a non refundable deposit to choose from.

- "This is the second time we have stayed at this cabin. Each time, we had a wonderful time and great place to unwind after house hunting. Blair is a great host and meets all your needs. The cabin has everything you need and Cape Girardeau is only minutes away. Thanks again for letting us stay." - "So much fun to visit an old girl scout camp...I grew up there back in the late 60's early 70's! Love that it has been made into a VRBO. Beautiful, clean and quiet! Loved it!"
