Birthday getaway

Perfect surprise birthday gift for my gamer husband. He had a blast putting top scores on Ninja Turtles pinball. The large screen and projector was a hit with my son. Lot’s of area shops and food. We got takeout and spent the night watching five nights at Freddy’s. Ryan is very quick to respond to any questions and is very kind. We would definitely stay here again.

Gamer House

We had so much fun gaming at the Gamer House! We couldn't wait to get back to the house after our planned activities in Asheville. It was a great way to have some quality family time. Gabe was a fantastic host!

Most Unique Vrbo I've Ever Seen

This place is amazing. We had a great time, and everything was exactly as it was in the pictures. The owner was super helpful and accomodating. The games ranged from 80s classics to modern high-tech pinball machines. My son loved the mini golf simulator, I got addicted to the Halloween pinball, and my wife stuck with the classic Pac Man. The only thing to keep in mind is to know what you're getting. This is not a vacation rental with a few video games - it is a full blown arcade with a few (very comfortable) beds. The bathroom was spotless and very modern. The location can't be beat. It isn't walkable to downtown, but $8 and 5 minutes gets you there in an Uber. Also a super short hop over to Biltmore, and Ingles and Publix are closeby. A once in a lifetime experience...

About the host

Hosted by Ryan ODocharty

I am a purest when it comes to arcade games. you will see no multicades only original games played on the original circuit boards. While I try and keep all games played on CRT's I will make an acceptation to this once in awhile depending on the game. All games have been restored from non working games and brought back to life. A lot of blood sweat and tears went into this project, please enjoy!!

Why they chose this property

It's close proximity to the Biltmore and downtown makes this a prime location to enjoy what Asheville has to offer. With fantastic glow in black light art inside and graffiti outside makes this an ideal location to enjoy some good ole fashion fun. you have a full arcade to compete for high scores and a movie room equipped with a projector for when you are ready to netflix and chill
