About this property

House of Games - Get Your Kicks on Route 66

Discover Fun and Relaxation on Historic Route 66

This property features a full basement arcade, a classic game console room, a rec room filled with interactive games such as foosball, air hockey, mini basketball arcade, ping pong and a digital board game table! We have something for everyone of all ages!

The backyard is well lit with string lights has ample seating, a fire pit, grill and more.
**Free Ice Cream and Soda is provided. Come play, relax and unwind! We hope to see you soon.**

Originally built by our grandparents this lovely duplex house features plenty of living space for families and small groups. Two separate bedrooms with two queen beds each. The "Pac-man" inspired bedroom is a must see with artwork from a local artist. The classic game console room also doubles as a bedroom with an air mattress. Additional sleeping for 1 person on the living room couch bringing total sleeping accommodations for 10 people per stay.

A local convenience store is located across the street for any items you may have forgotten to bring with you. The property is a short drive away from historic downtown Bloomington and all of its shops and many restaurants. It is also near Miller & Forest Park. Miller Park Zoo is less than one mile away. We are centrally located between three golf courses all within 3 miles (The Den, Prairie Vista, Highland Park).

Many options for food delivery including our favorite "Pizza Payaa. A must visit Bloomington's best Ice Cream Shop (not open in winter) is "Gene's Ice Cream" located a short drive away less than 5 minutes.

Please note this property is in a residential area. This property is one half of a duplex. Be respectful of noise levels at all times, quite hours are 10pm-7am everyday.

Best Birthday Ever
Our stay at the Arcade House was full of surprises, fun, and much laughter. My husband & I celebrated with our grandson his 12th birthday. When we left the house, our grandson claimed that this was the "Best Birthday Ever!" We found the house to be clean, tidy, cozy, fun and completely enjoyable! From booking to this review, it all went seamlessly. Thank you Ryan & Tori!

Fun Stay
My 14 year old son and his friend had the best time with all the gaming. My husband and I enjoyed the games downstairs too but we also were comfortable and cozy upstairs. Great stay would return again!

Wow, so fun!
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.
