I really got the best bang for my buck and is a true all inclusive experience that I will never forget. The owners here are also very friendly and their mission about starting this place years ago shows their dedication to the hospitality market. This place is clean and it feels like I'm staying at a four-star hotel. They do have a lot of terms and conditions when it comes to booking so be aware before booking please don't make any changes. The lobby itself is beautiful , the rooms itself are incredible. They have a beautiful balcony if you stay in the main part of the hotel. The outdoor area is also really good and has great views. you even have a bonfire. The guests here are really down to earth and friendly. This place hosts weddings and other Gatherings as well. Since there wasn't a lot of guests here, I really wish there was an opportunity to actually have the bar open during our visit. The Innkeeper also does a great job taking care of the hotel. Even though it's a bit far even though it's a bit far from a grocery store I recommend buying your stuff in advance. If you're making your way to the winery Trail or to the hiking trails you're in the absolute heart of it all and that's why this whole house and the prime location that it is! Highly recommend staying here . You will not regret your stay

When I walked into my room, well actually when I pulled up to the hotel, I was so excited to see the hotels decor--super fresh, minimalistic, and welcoming. The casino is actually attached to the hotel which has a couple of restaurants and a Starbucks. Fortunately they do not gouge you with the prices there because it is in the hotel. Now my room--everything from the large bathroom, plush bed, large TV, and free water and coffee--amazing! You could literally put another bed in the bathroom that is how large it is! I so wish I could have stayed another night, and well I got my wish. Ufortunately I woke up sick the next morning. Not only was my company able to work out getting me another room, they arranged early check in as I needed a place to rest after going to the ER. Again, thank you to The Riverview for being so awesome! The location, stay, and hospitality were over the top. Now, if you could just lower the prices of Beacon 53 it would be the cherry on top! Highly recommend, if you can't tell!

Coming up to Missouri for my cousin's wedding, we needed to find accommodations. Since this was my…read morewife's first visit to the state/area, we decided to go with this place since it seemed nicer than some of the other lodging options. We enjoyed the hotel's proximity to the river and main area of downtown. Plus, having a casino attached to hotel was a bonus. We arrived about 45 minutes prior to check in, but the hotel receptionist did not hesitate to allow us to check in early. Unbeknownst to us, our hotel room was upgraded to a Roulette King room. Our room was located in the 5th floor at the very end of the hall. So there was no constant foot traffic around our room which was nice. The room itself was spacious. I don't think I ever stayed in hotel room that had a six person dining room table in it! We had a nice view of the river as well. The room also came with two TVs. My wife and I did a quick walk through the casino just to check it out. There were a lot of gaming options but there was no free booze while gaming. My wife was excited about having a Starbucks adjacent to our hotel lobby. This is a phenomenal hotel and would definitely consider staying here in the future!

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!

I would highly recommend the Havisham House to anyone looking to enjoy the area and we can't wait to plan our next stay.

My husband and I like to get away to a cabin for our anniversary and have done so for the last four…read moreyears. The first three years we have been thrilled with our accommodations but not so for Cabin at Mountain Glen. At first glance, it looks wonderful and quaint. We were met by owner, Rose, who showed us the cabin's amenities. She even had some fresh muffins from the bakery and fresh ground coffee, something that no other cabin owner has done for us. That's where the niceties end. The cabin wasn't the cleanest cabin I've been in, that's for sure. The couch actually looked quite gross. The shower heads were so full of lime scale and so were the jets for jacuzzi tub in the bathroom. The hot tub jets didn't really come out very strong - that might just be the way they were constructed - or it could also be due to lime scale. When Rose showed me the hot tub there was quite a bit of calcium deposition on the seat and she even told me that their water was full of calcium. So, I rent a two bedroom cabin - ALWAYS. You see my husband and I don't sleep in the same bed. He has restless leg syndrome and I and an extremely light sleeper. I get awakened by every move he makes and he makes 1,000's in one evening. (Well, that might be a bit of an exaggeration.). So, I went to put my bag in the upstairs bedroom and there was a padlock on the door. I called Rose and while I'm sure she would have come back to the cabin to help us out, she didn't seem to happy to do so. She told me that would be an extra charge and so I just thought I didn't read something right on the rental agreement and I told her that we would figure something out. The living room soda was a sofa bed so we figured my husband could sleep there. Well, it had no sheets. There were no sheets for it anywhere in the cabin. That night was not a very restful night for either of us. The next morning it was quite cold. I didn't want to turn the heat on so I tried to turn the fireplace on but couldn't find the remote anywhere. My husband decided to call Rose and talk to her about the bedroom, the sleeper sofa and the fireplace. He did and his tone was actually quite pleasant. Rose on the other hand came unglued on the other end. She was extremely defensive. The gist of the conversation was: 1) there was an extra fee for the second bedroom (even though only two people were staying there); 2) there was an extra fee for linens for the sleeper sofa (absurd); and 3) they hadn't turned the gas on for the fireplace yet and weren't planning on it. Well, he told her that it didn't state any of this on the website and her attitude got worse. We did have her come to the cabin to open the second bedroom and we paid the extra fee - even though there was nothing ANYWHERE ON THE WEBSITE OR ON THE RENTAL AGREEMENT that indicated that this would be the case. (At one point, when she came to open the bedroom and make up the second bed - it wasn't made up yet - she even threatened to kick us out. That was comical - we didn't do anything wrong - we simply wanted to use the bedroom we rented.) I will NEVER rent from her again.

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!
