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.

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.

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.

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

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!!
