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.

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.
