We stayed at this house while traveling to ISU for our daughter’s gymnastics meet. The themed decor is great and the variety of games is incredible. It was brutally cold outside while we visited so it was perfect to have lots of activities at our house. My teen kids loved Super Mario, the electronic game table, ping pong, air hockey and basketball. The kitchen had most everything we needed to cook some meals at home. The house was clean and had plenty of towels and bedding. Highly recommend this house if you’re traveling to the area.
All types of games for every type of person. So much fun!
Early Thanksgiving trip to visit new grandbaby. Great place for family of all ages to gather.
House was so cute. Loved all the arcade games. Nice back yard with fire pit. Owner was very attentive to minor issues. Would definitely rent again!!
We stayed for family weekend and had a nice visit. Great communication with the owner who has went way out of their way to make the stay entertaining. What the home lacks in location it makes up for in fun. We picked our son up from school and once he my wife and I walked in we didn’t talk for the first hour. We all went our own way playing games like little children and had a great time. Amazing enough the vintage Nintendo games ended up providing the most enjoyment to me. Once word was out 3 of my sons friends came over for a late evening of game playing. The games enabled us to spend time with our son and friends that probably wouldn’t have happened had we not had a really cool place to hang out. We would stay there again and appreciate the opportunity to do so.
Owners were awesome, the house was awesome, all was great!
There's something to do around every corner and the host has taken great care to ensure you have everything you need for your stay. Rest easy knowing the host is also incredibly responsive in the case you have any questions or needs on the fly.
We had such a fun stay at the House of Arcade Bloomington! We were in town for a college graduation and this definitely ranks as one of the most unique Vrbos we've stayed at. Room and closet set-up had a fair amount of space, the dining table and living room was very inviting. The entire basement was a gamer paradise! All the guys had a blast. I'm not even a gamer and enjoyed the basketball, air hockey and ping pong tavles.plus the pop + ice cream were such a nice treat. Ryan was SO communicative since day one - appreciate all him and his team did for our stay!!!
We meet up halfway between St. Louis & Wisconsin for some family fun. Great for all ages. So many great game options. Everyone really enjoyed the finely stocked sodas & ice cream treats. Kids loved the pac man themed room. Location was convenient & close to Miller Park Playground & Zoo. The immediate neighborhood is major roads but you just have to cross an intersection to go for a run or walk.
Would highly recommend for a party or stay if you have children or grandchildren.
The property was amazing! It is decorated beautifully and all amenities/electronics are perfectly accessible. We were a little nervous since it’s right off the busy road, but the bi-level duplex was perfect set up for a children's party. The kids had an amazing time and adults as well. The owners paid close attention to detail with descriptions for and set up for everything. We had rave reviews from party attendants (6-9 year olds). Will definitely book again and highly recommend!
Very clean and loved the house, Definitely reccomend! I wish we could of stayed longer!
House is so much fun!! Every room is set up with games. Loved the ping pong and basketball hoop. Adorable chipmunks on patio. Would definitely stay again. Super clean and comfortable.
