Fun house

The house was everything we needed it to be. Plenty of beds, cute theme decor, board/card games, toys and more fun in the basement!! Plus the perfect yard for our dogs. Communication with host was great and fast.

Great stay

Overall, it was a great time. Internet was a little spotty, but we didn’t need to use it much, and would recommend bringing a humidifier if staying during the winter. Also, tub needs to be reglazed. Kids loved all the games. Great accommodations all around. House was nicely decorated and had little extras for the holiday season. Fantastic hosts.

Good place

They thought of all the amenities for family with young kids. They had fun with the toys and games. Had a real loud big dog barking nextdoor all night long. Not sure what can be done about that but sleep both nights was an issue.

It truly is the Game House

I’ll start with the honest not great stuff. It’s an old house. It has some odd paint jobs. Old tub. Unfinished parts in the basement etc. Having said that, we had a great time!! We had our 5 kids and a dog. And last minute had to add another family member. Alexander was very accommodating and very responsive to any questions. They have a popcorn machine with complimentary popcorn and oil. And tons of games and toys for our kiddos. We played hours of basketball and foosball tournaments (and late night poker and card games for the adults). We had the best time. We would definitely return here again. And our older kids went for a run to downtown and felt super safe running down fourth street. And best of all, the pricing was very affordable. You definitely get your moneys worth at the game house.

Great experience

Our 2 day stay was a success with family meeting in Royal Oak. This location suited all that was able to come. The game room and abundance of games available was a huge draw for us. It was very private, and very comfortable for our group. A huge thumbs up for pet friendly, our pup had as much fun as everyone else. I would recommend this location to anyone asking of this area. Comfortable beds as well as many amenities included. Easy check-in and location was easy off and on I-75. Thank You for sharing your home with us.

Great little house

We don’t typically travel with our dog, but since we were only going to be gone a couple of days we decided to bring him and get a VRBO. The back yard is fully fenced in, easy to access from inside and has plenty of space for kids or dogs to run around. The location of the home is right off the highway, and close to down town or anywhere else you are trying to get to. There is a fun play/game room in the basement with tons for kids to do, and a large selection of board games in the living room which was a lot of fun for my kids. This house is adorable, cozy, easy to get to and from and we would stay here again if we travel with our dog again.

Cozy and fun

After a couple bumps (on both sides) the house was a great find. It fit our needs. The extra little creature comforts were wonderful, from the dog treats bowls and bags, to the lights and fresh lighter for the tiki bar and bbq. Great selection of games and entertainment. The kids were playing them every night after hours of exhausting day activity, leaving some down time for me to enjoy the dyson fan in the upstairs bedroom with some netflix to chill! Neighbors were friendly, ease of access to major highways could not have been easier! Will surely look for this house again next time we visit the area.

Surprise Birthday Celebration

I rented this house to give my daughter a Surprise Birthday Party. I was impressed with the Game Room and the backyard when I saw the listing. It turned out to be exactly what we needed. The house was clean and had everything you would need for a pleasant stay! The host was quick to respond to questions and did everything to make sure we had a great stay!

Convenient Spot

We stayed here to see a show at the Royal Oak Theater. It was super convenient to be a 5 minute drive in nearly a straight line to the venue. The main floor of the house was decorated beautifully and it was enough room for 4 adults. Driveways are pretty narrow on this street, but there is a gated space next to the house, with enough room to fit a second car. Overall, a great stay at an amazing price!

Fun house, fun times

We were in town for a concert at royal oak music theater which this location is very convenient to! Right off the highway, easy to locate, great location. Hosts were super communicative and friendly. There were lots of amenities available in the kitchen and they provided soaps/shampoos in case you forget. The beds were comfy, we all slept well for the whole weekend. We didn’t use the popcorn machine, but it was a fun feature and looked really clean. The sink in the bathroom isn’t attached to the wall all the way, not a huge deal, but thought it was worth mentioning. Overall great trip!
