THE GAMER’S OASIS! Bring friends and family together for retro/modern gaming!

Pulling into the neighborhood, we immediately had concerns. Unfortunately, those concerns were confirmed as soon as we entered. This property looked nothing like the listing photos or prior reviews.Cleanliness was a serious issue. The half bath had clearly not been cleaned, the floors throughout the house were filthy, and there was a strong, unpleasant odor. We ended up buying air fresheners just to make it tolerable.When we turned on the AC (set to a normal 72 degrees), water began leaking from the ceiling within minutes. There was obvious prior water damage to the ceiling and walls. Water was dripping and splashing onto shelves and the floor; we had to use a bath towel to prevent puddling. We were genuinely concerned the ceiling could fail, so we shut the AC off and stayed uncomfortable in an already hot, stuffy house.We also rented the upstairs, and it was no better, with exposed roof underlayment that could be physically touched.The most comfortable place during our stay was the front porch, which says everything about the interior. Across the street was a boarded‑up house with people and a dog coming and going at all hours, plus repeated late‑night vehicle traffic. We did not feel safe leaving anything in our vehicles.Did the kids have fun? Sure — kids can have fun anywhere. Would we stay here again or recommend it? Absolutely not. Looking back now, I wish we had cut our losses and gone to a hotel.

My kids loved this place. They had an absolute ball.

Everything you could ever need for a fun family night of gaming!

Unfortunately, no lights were on upon arrival at 10pm. The front screen door was broke. There was water stains and bubbling on the ceilings and walls that was painted over. The floors sloped. One bed was not made completely and one did not have a top sheet, and several of the advertised games were either not working, broken, or stopped mid-use. There was a TV above a bedroom door that was on with no remote. I had to stand on a stool to unplug it. We also experienced quite a bit of noise from upstairs neighbors, including frequent stomping. We felt uncomfortable and due to these concerns we chose to stay only one of the two nights we had booked.

Extremely disappointed with this property. The listing photos make it appear clean and well kept, but the reality was completely different. The place was dirty and clearly not properly cleaned before our arrival. Several windows didn’t even lock, which made us feel very unsafe in what already seemed like a sketchy neighborhood. Because of the condition and safety concerns, we didn’t even stay an hour before leaving. This listing is very misleading and not accurately represented.

Jeremy was an excellent host! House was perfect and all the games kept the kids busy. It was nice having washer and dry on site. The popcorn machine was a great touch.

Returning customer! The host is very attentive and helpful. The home is always clean and welcoming. The decor is so cute!

Perfect little home for what we needed. A gamers delight.

Arrived a little later in evening, beds looked like aomeone just slept in then an left as is, all the beds and diahes were on counter .

Comfortable beds, clean, great communication. Some games did not work but still lots of entertainment. Shower is short.

Place was very nice and comfortable!!

We loved it and our daughters had a blast!

The host was very attentive to messages. The house was SO cute and welcoming. My husband and I had just as much fun as our little one while staying here. Everything was clean and the host definitely pays attention to details. The popcorn maker was a hit! We will most definitely recommend and likely book again!

Host was great.

Everything was great, but the tank to the fire pit was empty. We bought a bunch of s'mores stuff but didn't start to make them until about 10 p.m., so it was too late for us to go out and buy one ourselves. Other than that the house was great. Pillows could be better.

Check in was super easy. We had everything we needed and especially appreciated the well stocked kitchen! We had a couple issues with loud neighbors, but we messaged the host and they replied promptly and addressed/resolved the issue. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone!

Teenage boys had a blast playing games! Host was quick with responding to any questions we had. The shower wasn’t the easiest for my 6’3 son to use, but he survived… lol

Amazing space! So so fun and the popcorn is such a nice touch. The coolest Vrbo I've stayed in

This was a great choice for our family of 5 (3 older kids ages 12,14,16) to stay the night while visiting Springfield. The 3 bedrooms allowed everyone plenty of space to chill after a fun filled busy day. (Which we wouldn’t have had in an hotel). It was clean and the kids liked the atmosphere. The owner was prompt about responding to my messages if I had a question. And the house looks just like the pictures. It’s also Close to the big attractions we wanted to see like the Wonders Of Wildlife Museum & aquarium, and the Wild Animal safari.

Everything we needed was there. My grandchildren, 8 and 10 were in gaming heaven.Excellent location. 1 hour to Branson. We enjoyed the Springfield park/rec pool and the Aquarium. Thank you to our host.

Very misleading description of home. No pictures of the outside of the house or neighborhood. As parents we did not feel safe in this neighborhood when we pulled up to the home. Did not see any revitalization going on. One home, 2 units, upstairs and downstairs. Owner did not put this in description until after we rented this property. He did not offer the address until we had to ask for it. On the map where the house is located it shows a different address. The host did not offer to give a refund. We went and haas to buy two hotel rooms to fit our family with a special needs child. Would not recommend to anyone.

Last minute booking. Let us check in early! That was important and appreciated.

We stayed a couple nights with our daughter who's 6. She absolutely loved every little detail of the house! It was too cute and we had fun!

The home was super cool and decorated wonderfully. So many games for our kids to play to stay entertained while there.

The host (Jeremy) was awesome, property was awesome- we will definitely stay here again if we come back to Springfield! It was a perfect getaway for myself, daughter and her friend- tons of games/fun!

Loved it perfect for boy party’s or anyone who loves gaming! Definitely will be booking again!

It was great and Jeremy was great at responding and taking care of anything we needed. I only gave 4 stars for accuracy of description because the couch can be slept on but it does not convert to a sofa bed. However, there is a loft bed in the queen room. So there was still enough sleep space. Host said options aren’t given on VRBO to select the actual description. I only mention it because we had mixed company of teens and I had to reconfigure sleeping arrangements a little bit. There is an upstairs unit that I didn’t see mentioned on the website, but we were told about on the way. It wasn’t an issue for us. The fire pit and back yard space was great too. The teens loved that. We really enjoyed the front porch fire pit, TV, and long table for eating. They have made great use of the space and really went all in with the game theme! Our teens loved it! And the popcorn machine was huge hit! So good!!

My daughter and her friends stayed for her birthday. They had a blast! All kinds of games to play through the night, TVs in every room for various tastes, lots of fun for them in a clean, safe environment. Loved bunk beds, the comfort of the beds, bathrooms were loved, pool table, skee ball, popcorn machine, board games, and poker.

Our family had such a fun time at The Gamer’s Oasis! Jeremy was so easy to communicate with and quick to respond. He also willingly dropped off a different game console since the original wasn’t working. My 8 year old boys, 4 year old, and 2 year old all had an absolute blast with the game setup!! The environment was just so cute too with all the retro and vintage games and decor. The bunk bed in the kids room, skee ball, pac man, and pool table/air hockey/ping pong were the biggest hits!! Kitchen had all the essentials, plenty of towels, and beds were comfy. Our only call out would be the small size shower (my husband is so tall so he felt a little crammed) and the ice and water dispenser from the fridge wasn’t working. They were kind enough to provide a bag of ice though. They even left bags of popcorn for us to use for the popcorn machine. The house definitely felt like the nicest house in the neighborhood, but thankfully it was centrally located to everything we wanted to visit. We would definitely stay here again!

The gaming theme of this property was so much fun. My kids (7 and 4) absolutely loved it. All the details were great. One of the pictures of the bedrooms only shows a full bed but when we got to the property we discovered they had built a bunk bed above that bed which ended up being perfect for my kids. The property owner was very quick to respond to messages which I appreciate. I would say the only negative was the size of the shower. It is VERY tiny. Luckily myself and my family are not tall people so we made it work but if you are above 5’5 you will not be able to stand up in the shower.

Just what we needed to have a night away with the family. So much fun, so much to do.

Nice place. Very cute. Roomy. The Game Theme is Amazing!

Enjoyed our stay for the night, would recommend to others.
