About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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 vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and 1.5 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Kristina R., Burlington, KS United States

Disliked: Cleanliness
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
