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.

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.

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.

Cool and quirky
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.

Funky B&B stay - do you love pinball?
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.
