Nicolas Cage has set up shop in St. Louis’ Fox Park neighborhood. Well, not really, but you can snuggle up next to a Nic Cage pillow at Jack Seline’s absurd short-term rental, and it will have you laughing as hard as you would at one of his corny movies.
Seline created the Cage Cave to pay homage to the actor and piggyback off the internet’s obsession with him. It’s a historic home built in 1880 that also happens to be the perfect place to admire and ponder the greatness, and strangeness, of Nicolas Cage.
“Well, you know, the thing that really brings joy to me with this project is that it’s so fucking small when you walk up on it and then you walk in and it’s a frickin museum,” Seline says.
The weirdness of Nic Cage is on full display inside the home. Nic Cage pillows, blankets, Nic Cage protruding out of a banana, and even Nic Cage as a pickle (Picolas Cage, naturally). When you step inside the Cage Cave you are greeted by a massive print of Nic Cage as the Mona Lisa. Behind you on the wall is a life-size cut out of the Ghost Rider himself.
“Nic Cage is apparently awesome which I am not going to argue with, ever,” Seline says.
The origin of this St. Louis version of a National Treasure is simple. Seline was looking for a theme to the house that also had big internet traction. When he hung his first print of Nic Cage on the side of the house, he knew he had written his own Declaration of Independence. “So I started with one that’s hanging on the side of the building. And it was like, OK, everything has to be Nic Cage. That’s it.”

The basement bedroom feels like an Italian courtyard, with walls lined with green vines and pink flowers. Above the bed is Cage’s iconic mugshot from his 1987 film Raising Arizona.

The massive prints of Cage are nothing more than shower curtains stretched over wood that Seline purchased at Home Depot or pulled from a scrap pile.

“I like large art. So somehow I stumbled upon the idea of stretching shower curtains over wood frames,” Seline says.

Seline briefly had a listing at Vrbo but took it down recently to fine tune it. He plans to get it up again soon.

But whatever people looking for a short-term rental may say about Cage Cave, the home is truly a shrine, the perfect place to worship one of America’s greatest and weirdest actors.
