I used to go to school in Cape Girardeau and was back in town after living in Boston for 5 years…read moreover Christmas 2013 to visit the school and some old friends. It was a last minute decision to make a trip down to Cape from St. Louis, so we frantically searched for a place to stay downtown where we would be close to the action. The other two bed and breakfast places were both booked and FAR more expensive than the Kage House. I called up the owner after finding their site on VRBO showing they had openings for tonight. He said unfortunately their cleaning crew was on vacation so he didn't know if they could get it ready for us for the night but that he was traveling on his way to Cape Girardeau from St. Louis as well (but a couple hours ahead of us). He said he would take care of getting the place ready for us in time for our visit! When we arrived the Kage House was just 1 room located above a business on Broadway. The interior was beautiful and new with a full kitchen (stocked with Keurig machine and all!), gigantic king size bed, living room and large TV, an more. The exterior had a grill, large porch, and beautiful views of the Mississippi River. The stay was wonderful and the service even better! I would highly recommend staying here if you're ever in Cape Girardeau for the night!

Our stay was INCREDIBLE!…read more First, apologies on how long it took to get to this review. It's been go go go since we returned. However, our stay here was so amazing that it hasn't left our minds. So, the "bed" part of bed and breakfast? So comfortable! The rooms were amazing and had such a sense of history. The rooms were very spacious and beautifully decorated. Vintage wallpaper and bed dressings give you the full effect of traveling in time to a bygone era. The showers and bathtubs were great. The tubs were the claw foot standalone type tubs and not the typical Home Depo special you get in motels and hotels. There's just something about showering in one of those tubs that takes you back. However if you want to use them, there are indeed wonderful modern jacuzzis available in the rooms as well which are super relaxing after a day of walking around and sightseeing and shopping. Things were very comfortable inside despite it being very hot and so humid outside. And there were extra fans if you needed them and you wanted to stay cooler too. The furniture is actual wood and not the cheap particle board stuff used with in so many places today. The wood just feels "rich and elegant." From the outside, you get such a sense of history. The place is absolutely beautiful. Now... the "breakfast" part of bed and breakfast was so filling. You will eat like you've never eaten before and will want more but won't have the space to put it. I wish we could have stayed an extra day even just for the food. The owner asks about your preferences and needs and does such a great job with the food. She makes a killer sweet tea as well! The place was remarkably maintained and the owner was so welcoming. She felt like a family member we haven't seen in so long, like a grandmother to us and our kids. She was super flexible about the check in and check out times as well, enabling us to get a quick shower in before leaving so that after sight seeing we didn't need to sit in our sweaty clothes for the next leg of the trip. We so much wanted to stay longer! It was such a great experience there is no doubt that we will stay here every time we come to Metropolis. Oh and I should mention that when you stay here, you do get admission to the Superman museum included in the cost which is just icing on the cake. So really, why are you still reading? Book a stay. You will not be disappointed. Five stars, fifty stars, five hundred stars!

When we booked the entire property(mansion, barn and grounds) 2+ years in advance we were elated…read more The tour of the mansion and the property were beautiful. We had also been to a few events at the property before touring it. 9 days before our event(wedding), the owners tried to cancel. 5 days before our event, the owner asked if a man we did not know could share space in the mansion with our wedding crew. The day we check in at the property the barn was not ready. It was dirty and we had to clean it. We also had to place all the tables and chairs that the owners said they would set up per the contract. Every single chair was covered in filth. The owners did not properly clear the snow either. The day of our event the owner kept inserting themselves into our guests and networking. They were also seen taking photos during the ceremony. The guests were facing the owner when they took the photos. The electric service in the barn is not capable of running 3 roasters. We asked about this before planning to use them for the meal; we were told it'll work just fine. It did not. After the lights went out(during reception) my husband, an electrician, looked the service over and said there was no way the roasters could stay on. Due to the owners not clearing the snow properly we had 5 guests get stuck while trying to leave. Going back to when we checked in; Rhonda told us to call her if we needed anything. We dialed her several times and she never answered. I had to go physically find her. There was also a trailer parked right where everyone would walk past to get to the barn. It was loaded up with dead appliances, a used mattress and cardboard boxes. An absolute eyesore. There were also two vehicles parked out there to die as well. Two dead lawn mowers in the tree line too. None of these issues were present when we booked. Everything was pristine and stunning. Inside the mansion the bathrooms were not clean. Toilets had murky water and mold growing in the bowls. There were also dead insects everywhere. As long as Rhonda and Bryan are in charge of the property, I do not recommend Historic Bell Hill. It is such a shame for such a grand property to be ill managed.

The venue is not at all prepared for cold temperatures.

My husband and I decided to take a road trip from Chicago to Memphis, TN for our one year wedding…read moreanniversary. We were looking for somewhere near the half way point (preferably along the mighty Mississippi) to stop for the night. We came across the lovely Neumeyer Bed and Breakfast in charming Cape Girardeau. This bed and breakfast really met and surpassed our expectations. The Neumeyer's are really the nicest couple that you'll ever meet. They lovingly restored their century old bungalow home to near museum condition. There is a gorgeous butterfly garden in the front yard, and the rooms for rent are very cute. They provided us with great conversation and a very yummy filling breakfast. While the actual town of Cape Girardeau was quite small it was still charming. There isn't a whole day's worth of things to do there, but certainly you could fill at least half a day with all of the antique shops downtown.

It was easy to find and the owner, Rebecca, met us late Friday to show us the room as we had to drive in from St. Louis. The room was even nicer looking than the pictures and had all the amenities as promised! The room was very clean and welcoming. The jacuzzi tub was AMAZING and even had aromatherapy bath gel to use. My favorite feature aside from the tub was definitely the towel warmer in the bathroom. It's hard to beat a warm towel when you are stepping out of the shower! I even used it to warm up my bathrobe, which was also provided. If you are looking for a romantic weekend getaway, this is the place to go. We were so close to the wine trail, which we enjoyed Saturday, and loved being out in nature away from it all but still close enough to get back onto the highway without trouble. We had an excellent experience!

We had booked the Old Caledonian and had an absolutely amazing stay. Since there's not many dining options in the area, we added on a made to order dinner, which ended up being the best meal during our weeklong trip in Missouri. The grounds are absolutely beautiful with a flowering garden, gazebo, magnolia tree, koi pond, hot tub and sauna. We spent our evening out in the yard watching fireflies and listening to their fountain. Inside, every corner is packed with antiques and vintage charm. Most rooms feature a bathtub but to shower (at least in the upstairs rooms,) there is a communal bathroom. We happened to be the only guests so it was fine. It also featured a library with plenty of books to read and board games to play. The owners were absolutely lovely people and cooked us wonderful meals, delivered with attentive service. We were able to make requests for vegetarian food and they prepared a delightful veggie curry and green goddess quinoa bowl for dinner. For breakfast we were served yogurt and fruit, veggie quickie and some lovely homemade scones. There are their own handmade lavender products for sale as well. Beds and pillows were super comfy and they had some great green tea bath products for use. We had such a magical time enjoying the early summer in Caledonia and the folks here were such a big part of that. At check out they even let us split the bill 4 ways and gave us a parting gift of homemade truffles. Please consider supporting this family business. It was a simply perfect stay,

Everything in the room is from the 70's or 80's, the bath tub was a pinkish purple tub from the 70's. So we got in from the casino around 12:30 couldnt get in the keys wouldnt work, had to call service and the guy that answered was very rude. He got there pretty fast and got the door open and again made rude comments. I had a pie I bought earlier from the Home Show and opened the microwave and there was 2 cockroaches still alive so needless to say we only stayed in the room about 5 minutes and we were out the door and stayed at a hotel. I would say the room would be worth $39 or so a night, would never recommend staying here get a hotel where the rooms are clean.
