About this property

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

The Gamers Oasis is a fun, gaming themed stay! Arcade games, skiball, working popcorn machine, Monopoly jail Photo Booth, and more! With three bedrooms, 1.5 baths, it’s a perfect place for your next adventure!

Need more space? the upstairs of this home finctuons as a separate short term rental unit but if available you can booth them both to total sleep an additional 7guests.


Retro Fun Meets Classic Charm
Welcome to Gamers Oasis, a one-of-a-kind stay where modern gaming fun meets the character of a historic home.

This spacious home was originally built in 1925, and while it has been updated with fresh flooring, comfortable furnishings, and fun gaming features, it still carries the charm and personality of a 100+ year-old house.

What You’ll Love

Game-filled experience – themed bedrooms, Skee-Ball, gaming décor, and spaces designed for fun and connection

Plenty of room for families & groups

Relaxing porch hangout area with TV, seating, and game table

Three uniquely themed bedrooms (including fan-favorite gaming themes)

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.

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!

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.

Booked this reservation a few months in advance. Didn’t think to reach out to the host before hand because I didn’t have any questions. When we got there we were unable to enter the place with our code. Reached out and didn’t hear back via the VRBO app. Called and left a voicemail. Then tried the doorbell camera. Resorted to calling VRBO about 30 minutes later. They connected me to the host on the phone. He was very apologetic. They had a last minute booking and forgot to clean the house. He assured me that he could get someone to clean it and in 2 hours we could have access to the house and we would get half off the booking price. The problem was, our drive back home was only 2 hours. It wasn’t worth staying around for 2 hours to gain access to the house. So we canceled entirely and got a full refund. It was very disappointing because this was a surprise retreat for my husband and I’s anniversary. I think if we could have gotten ahold of the host right away instead of 45 minutes in, and we didn’t have to wait 2 hours for it to get cleaned. Overall after we got ahold of the host he was very apologetic and gave us a refund immediately. Accidents happen. But I would 100% reach out in advance if you want to stay in this VRBO so that things don’t fall through.

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.
