"My favorite place to stay in the US"

10.0

This is the most fun place to stay that I know. The owner is responsive and friendly, the cat (who only lives outside) is so lovely. The antique pinball machine collection is one of the best I’ve ever seen, and it’s a chance of a lifetime to play. Kitchen is well stocked and beds are comfy. This place is exceptional!

"Second time, still a charm"

10.0

This is our second stay, and it's just as great as before! The beds are comfy, selection of breakfast is great, the manager communicates extremely well, the games are fun, location is safe and convenient, and the old cat is very friendly. Despite what someone else said, I have never seen a cat hair or any trace of the friendly little cat anywhere inside the house. I hope my kid gets into college here, so I have an excuse to come stay here more often. lol

The host couldn’t have been nicer. House is a museum of pinball machines that you can play!! Everything was spotlessly clean and light breakfast is available. I’ll definitely return.

Beware if you have cat allergies. While owner claims his cat is an “outdoor” pet the home interior - at least every public apace and the single room - are permeated with cat dander. If this is at all a health issue avoid this property. For persons with moderate or severe allergic responses to dander it poses a serious health problem.

Unique and fun place to stay in Richmond. Especially nice if you are traveling with folks that really love pinball. Clean, accommodating, quiet neighborhood. Game play is included in the price of your stay, there must have been 25 machines.

Quirky place. Very comfortableand peaceful. Very much Pete's home, with as much free pinball as you can handle. Not so oeaceful if you play pinball all the time of course. About ten minutes drive from central Richmond.

Ive never experienced a bnb quite like Pinball Pete's. Nostalgic pinball machines everywhere set on free play. Got the pleasure to meet the man himself. Great guy. The house was extremely clean as well as free snacks and in a good neighborhood. Highly recommend this establishment. 10 stars if i could.
