We stayed at pinball Petes located in Richmond Virginia. It was a cool place that contained over 15 pinballs and other types of gains. It was close to mainstream venues, but took away in a picturesque neighborhood very peaceful and calm and safe. We enjoy being able to relax.

My favorite place to stay in the US
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!

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.

Pinball Fun in Richmond, Virginia
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.

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

Second time, still a charm
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

Hands down the best value in Richmond. And by far the coolest place to stay anywhere! Pinball machines, classic video games, big screens, lots of dvd's. Clean, comfortable rooms, convenient to the city.

Great stay and good value
Mr Pete was a very pleasant host. Fun atmosphere and nice clean room. Enjoyed the Pinball and the soda machine that dispenses local beers. Will def book again.

The pinball machines were a lot of fun! There was a nice yard for the dogs to run around in. The owner was available and very friendly. If you are looking for "retro" fun this is the place to stay!

Comfy and fun place to stay
Really fun play to stay! Comfy bed, friendly owner and the location is great, too. I hope to stay there again when I'm next in town. Even the cat who lives in the back yard was welcoming! lol You really should try this place- once in a lifetime fun, if you like pinball machines.

Great and Special Place
We went back in time during our stay. The pinball machines and game tools were great. Perfectly decorated and very quiet place. The host Pete is very helpful and friendly person. If you happen to be in Richmond, I definitely recommend you to stop by.
Orkun, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Kevin, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We really enjoyed our stay. The pinball machines were great fun, the kitchen was well stocked with breakfast items and our host was very friendly and welcoming. Came complete with Kat the cat who was an excellent greeter but stayed outside.We loved the eclectic decor. It's a home, not a hotel and you probably will be sharing the space with others but if you're OK with that give this place a try. Would definitely stay again

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.
Chester, 1-night trip

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!!
