About the Home (Please Read) Because of the home’s age and history, you may notice:
Slightly uneven floors in some areas Walls with character from decades of plaster work and repairs
A layout that reflects a classic 1920s build
These are part of the home’s charm—not signs of damage—and are typical for homes of this era. That said, we take pride in keeping the space clean, fresh, and comfortable, with newer laminate flooring and carpet throughout.
Cleanliness Commitment We work hard to provide a clean and welcoming environment for every guest. If anything ever feels off during your stay, we encourage you to reach out right away—we’re quick to respond and make things right.
🔊 About the Upstairs Unit
There is a separate apartment above the home called “Springfield 1925.”
It is a completely separate unit with its own entrance
As with many older homes, some sound transfer is possible between levels.
Most guests find this minimal, but if you are highly sensitive to noise or expecting total sound isolation, this is something to keep in mind.
Perfect For: Families with kids Gamers and fun-loving groups Guests who appreciate unique stays over cookie-cutter hotels
Not Ideal For: Guests expecting a perfectly level, modern new-build home Those highly sensitive to occasional noise from an upstairs unit
Our Promise We aim to offer a space where you can relax, laugh, play, and make memories.
If you value experience, personality, and fun, you’re going to love it here.
About the Neighborhood Gamers Oasis is located in an established, older neighborhood that reflects the history and character of the area.
Most surrounding homes are well cared for, and neighbors are friendly and respectful
The area is generally quiet and residential Across the street, there is an older vacant home with boarded windows. While it’s not the most visually appealing, it has not caused any issues for guests, and the neighborhood remains a comfortable place to stay.
If you’re looking for a polished, HOA-style neighborhood, this may not be the right fit—but if you appreciate a real, lived-in community with character, you’ll feel right at home.

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.
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!
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!
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!

Liked: Check-in, communication
Disliked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
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.
We were in for one night, and the "game" theme was irrelevant to us- we just needed 3 bedrooms for adults. The house wasn't all dirty, but there were dirty spots. The dishwasher was full when we arrived (we didn't eat here, and didn't realize it until we were leaving), the coffee maker was dirty (there was a used k-cup in it, the pot was dirty, and even the reservoir had to be rinsed out), there was no creamer and a bag of sugar was soaked through so badly that the sugar stuck to the dry spoon. We were provided exactly one towel per guest, and none of the beds had top sheets. I hadn't considered it in advance, but there are very few very small mirrors which made getting ready a bit difficult. Otherwise, communication and check-in was very easy. They left a free first round of popcorn for the machine, and offered to leave more for a fee. A few people in our group questioned the neighborhood but it was, in fact, a very quiet, peaceful neighborhood. We needed the 3 bedrooms, which can be hard to find without booking a huge rental. We were surprised to find the queen room is actually a queen/twin bunk room. Based on the photos, we expected a small dining table, but there was none. Overall, it met our limited needs but there were a few things that clouded our opinion.
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.
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.
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
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.
