About this property

Thank you for your interest in staying at my place. House was built in 1959 and I have kept everything that works from that era. It's like going back in time. Oven, Dishwasher, some light switches, bath tub, and vanity are original. Three bedrooms, 1.5 Baths. Each bedroom has a vintage game console. Plenty of vintage, workable pinball machines and vintage handheld games throughout the house. The place is yours to use. Also has a patio for outdoor grilling. Located near the lakeside community with local restaurants, shops, and breweries. Five minutes from the Amtrak Station. Right off I-64 and near I-64 & I95 interchange.

Loved it and great host!

While we had NO chance in getting high scores in the pinball machines, we had a blast trying. Property owner was very available for any needs we had and made his home feel like ours. Thanks so much!

Unique, entertaining & cozy.

Pinball Pete's is a unique property. Looking for a modern spacious house...well keep looking then. But if you want to have fun, feel like you are home, and have a miriad of collectables to peruse, this is your place. Entertainment for all ages...it is like a museum of sorts...while pinball is the main theme, there are various video game consoles in each bedroom, noteworthy artwork, books, dvds, collectables, and much more. Pete's hospitality (bloody mary anyone? Local craft beer?) Is the theme of this eclectic property. Frat house or cozy home? Pack your quarters and hunker down with your loved ones to find out.

Much needed time with family.

My daughter & her husband had just moved from Denver to Virginia. With Covid & a 2 day drive from Alabama to Denver, we hadn’t been able to get together in 2 years. I rented this house & we all stayed together for a week. We didn’t hardly leave the house. Everyone played on the pinball machines. My husband was obsessed with the Elvira one. That was everyone’s favorite. The location was close to grocery stores and food delivery was available. The neighborhood was quite & safe. We were quite content to stay snuggled in and enjoy each other. Robert was a great host. We would love to stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Robert Peters

I'm a blue collar guy in a blue collar neighborhood with a blue collar house. Nothing fancy. House was built in 1959 and still has a lot of the original items. A quiet neighborhood and a quiet place to stay. I enjoy sharing my hobby of pinball with my guests.

Why they chose this property

Conveniently located to everything in Richmond. Centrally located. I'm your ambassador to Richmond and will ensure you have a great stay. Property is very clean, quiet, and located to major roads in Richmond. Very quiet house in a cul de sac.

What makes this property unique

My house is your house. Food & Beverages are included. Also have a RVA (Richmond) Bloody Mary Bar and Mimosa Bar. All pinball machines are on free play.
