Vectors Arcade: The Perfect Blend of Fun and Comfort!
Our stay at Vectors Arcade was absolutely excellent! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the unique and inviting atmosphere of the property. The owner was incredibly accommodating, making our self- check-in and stay completely hassle-free, and providing clear instructions for using the internet, wireless setup, etc. The private arcade area/games were an absolute hit with our teens (and the adults too)! We spent countless hours laughing and competing. The large screen and incredible sound system transformed what we'd describe as a great room into a mini-theater, perfect for family movie nights and karaoke sessions. The entire property was impeccably clean and well-appointed, providing us with everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. We loved navigating the unique layout of the house, adding an extra element of fun to our vacation. It was truly a one-of-a-kind experience that our family will cherish for years to come. We highly recommend Vectors Arcade to anyone looking for a memorable getaway! We've already decided that this will be our annual family vacation spot. Thank you for sharing your wonderful property with us!

Great house, not-as-great stay
The house is great and perfect for a family. Unfortunately the skylight in a bedroom leaked water on floor and bed. Plus, air conditioner didn’t work. This made for very uncomfortable stay. Home owner was very responsive and tried to fix, but I’m disappointed he did not offer a partial discount with so many problems.

Fun for everyone
This is such a fun place to stay! Though it looks small from outside, this apartment is very spacious. The kitchen is well stoked for preparing meals and the natural and artificial light are gorgeous throughout. We appreciated the convenience of the washer/dryer with detergent provided. We all enjoyed the arcade within the property and the access from there to the external garden. The location is great! We had fun at the public arcade downstairs, there's a nice little shaded park across the street, and we all loved the trains. We were traveling through for a concert in St. Louis so we were only there for a weekend, but my adult kids said they'd love to come back for a longer stay. We highly recommend staying here! Of special note, we were concerned about the numerous stairs because we were traveling with a toddler, so we brought several baby gates (which turned out to be too small). If anyone else is traveling with a little one, don't worry. Turned diagonally, the two white chairs at the top of the big stairs work perfectly to block the spaces on either side of the stairs (kitchen on one side and living area on the other) and the entertainment stand in the bedroom closest to the spiral stairs work perfectly to block those stairs and keep little ones safe. So don't let the stairs keep you from staying if you're traveling with a baby or toddler. This space is so much fun and my grandson loved the tall windows all the space to run around. Thanks again!

This is our third stay here. It’s spacious and comfortable. Close enough to Bloomington-Normal to be a good spot for family weekends and graduations. A couple of the sinks leak and need some attention, but otherwise everything is clean and in good repair. Thanks again for a nice stay!

As we pulled up to the property, nothing could prepare us for what awaited inside. Opening the door into a large, old wooden staircase, we ascended into a “big kids” paradise. Massive kitchen with enough space for multiple families, a theatre sized projector screen supported by a surround sound system, a gigantic dining room table for games, and of course, the downstairs arcade! Rooms were spacious and comfortable, and all plumbing/appliances worked perfectly. We came down for a guys weekend, and quickly realized one weekend was not enough to fully absorb all this location had to offer. This is one of the most unique and unforgettable spots in the Midwest, and I am hopeful to return in the future! Kudos to John for setting up such an awesome experience!

Great place but late notice of other renter.
Place is a fantastic getaway for hanging out and gaming. The non existence of curtains was a huge let down cuz ppl can just see right in and the projector screen was directly across from the windows. So you can't even watch or game anything till night time. Arcade was a blast but apparently on the other side of the wall was other renters I knew nothing about till the night we showed up at 10pm when the landlord messaged me to be respectful bout loudness and we'd already been being loud thinking we were alone. Otherwise place was a blast. Great games, plenty of space to hangout, huge kitchen table for board games and dinner. All and all this place was definitely worth the stay. I just wished I knew ahead of time bout another renter so we weren't so loud.

Hidden gem!!!
My family - my husband, three teenage boys and my parents - stayed here for a relaxing Fourth of July weekend. The house was amazing! We enjoyed cooking our meals in the beautiful kitchen and had plenty of room to eat and play games on the large dining room table. The exposed brick made us feel like we were in a restaurant! We watched a few movies on the projector screen and slept well in the comfy beds. My boys and my dad absolutely LOVED the arcade games and pinball machines and spent much time bonding over those. We had an issue with one of the pinball machines and John came over and quickly fixed it. He was great - meeting us upon arrival and filling us in a bit on his playable arcade museum! We had such a great time - we will definitely be back!!!

Excellent place for a bday party
We had my son’s 10th birthday party here with 4 of his friends. There was plenty of space to play and sleep. The arcade in the basement was a huge hit. I love how much was included with the stay- tv’s in almost every room, the arcade games downstairs, PlayStation and Xbox already connected to the projector. The green space across the street was perfect for a few pickup games of soccer and catch. Of course, have easy access to Arcadia was a plus. We’d definitely stay here again, it would be great for a small family gathering as well-

If Arcades or gaming your thing, this is the place to visit.
The property was an absolute joy to be at. I found this location as a necessary component to my sisters surprise 30th birthday and as a family of avid gamers having access to the arcades was a bonus. And if the arcades are unavailable there are other amenities available at the property that is still worth the price. If you have an opportunity to visit/stay then make it part of your travel plans, because its unlike any other place you could visit. 10/10 my family wants to visit this property again.

A place you will want to stay again and again!
We had such a fun time at this property. The house is huge and so unique, we enjoyed it a great deal! It was very clean, no issues to report. Parking was easy, check-in was effortless, talking to the property owner was simple and he was very kind. The town is adorable, and if you enjoy arcade games you will have a blast both inside the house and at the arcades right outside your door. The arcades are inexpensive but the house itself has so much to do, you rarely need to leave. There are games and movies and books and just so many things it would be hard to list them all. We took this trip as a birthday surprise for our 9 year old son and it was a perfect fit. My only 'negative' comment is this. I found this property right here on VRBO and booked through the site. I had no idea that the owner has his own website (with a lot more info), so I booked this property truly thinking all of the arcade games shown in the photos here were INSIDE this house and would be privately available for us to play. It was not exactly a great surprise to learn that most of the machines showing in the photos were in the other arcades in town and not private as I had thought. The house had about a dozen machines in the private arcade. While that is great, I would recommend adding a few more words to this VRBO listing so users don't make the same mistake that I did. And if you are a potential renter, I would say to go checkout his website which has tons of good information about the town and all of the rentals he offers, including this one. I will note that he does offer to let you into the arcades in town outside of posted hours, if you work with him. That info is only found on the website and it does still mean that you are paying for the arcade games (again though, very cheap to play) and they have been recently used by the Public (we are very COVID safe so private was our goal). All of that being said, we are planning another trip here very soon because we had a great time.
