A house full of steel balls and games

A great house, and a great host. If you love pinball and classic gaming consoles, you may find it difficult to work up the motivation to leave. The old style pop machine full of local craft beers was a nice touch, too, and is the only machine in the house that requires quarters.

This is a quirky place that will Appel to lovers of pinball and other games. Robert was a gracious and thoughtful host. I’d been on the road for two weeks, and had a big day the day I left… so I did not make the most of the place because I was exhausted. Still kicking myself for not playing Elvira though.

Owner is an awesome person!

The check in was easy, room very clean. My show dogs and I felt welcome. I felt much safer than in a hotel.

A fun and unique B&B just off 95 outside of Richmond. There are 3 smallish bedrooms and 16 working pinball machines which you can play non-stop for free. One room has a half bath, and the other two rooms share the full bathroom off the hall. Lots of fun if you like pinball or are traveling with teens. Full kitchen is available for your use, though breakfast food options are limited, but coffee is top-rate.

Peaceful spot in the country. My third stay! It’s like a home away from home

I stayed here one night and loved it so much I booked again! I have to add to my previous review; the fans in the bedrooms were an amazing touch! They are bulky to pack, intend to use white noise apps when traveling and it’s just not the same. The lovely touches in the comfortable bedrooms only add to the overall comfort of a home away from home experience. Thanks Pinball Pete, I will be booking again soon and many times in the future!

I had a great stay at Pinball Pete’s! He had every amenity you could think of; from coffee and creamer to a fully stocked fridge full of several types of bagels and spreads, fruit, and waffles. And don’t get me started on the pinball games, how fun!! (Elvira was my favorite.) I also enjoyed the patio to have a drink in there evening and coffee in the morning. I’ll definitely be staying here again, thank you!!

You will definitely want to leave aside plenty of time to actually explore the different pinball machines because there are so many—that was our mistake! Pete was very nice and knowledgeable and very passionate about the pinball machines. And the “greeter,” Kat, who was a very friendly kitty who walked over to us to say hi when we arrived, was very very adorable :) Very communicative and very detail-oriented made this experience very hospitable.

Robert was a nice person, I could tell he put a lot of work and effort into his house to make it to the best vacation home for the guests that decide to live with him. There were some bugs that I caught. So far I saw 4 crawling in some parts of his house. Robert said he’s never had a bug problem, but would keep an eye out for them. Overall my stay at his house was a 10/10.
