We absolutely loved our time at the Outlaw Gameroom! Cozy and fun, we played so many games of pool and slept well! We highly recommend this place and plan to return in the future.
Hosts were friendly and attentive. Great communication throughout our stay. Kids loved the open room and outdoor feel. I recommend this spot for folks that love the country and outdoors. Great spot to watch sports and eat food. Sleeping is easy.
I brought my son and a couple friends for his 9th birthday and they had the best time!! The pool water was great and they had a blast on the slide. We made Smores by the fire and the mosquitoes weren't even too bad. We definitely plan to return. Thanks for having us!
Loved the set up.
Was perfect for our 16,17,&18 yr old young men!
Highly recommend if you’re looking to chill and relax. Loved they had everything we may need. We took food and cooked there.
Pool was great, boys loved the pool table. They had cards games, Wii, tv and more.

Great Place
This place had a wonderful setting, very quiet and private. Huge kitchen/eating area. Please be prepared for no windows. It wasn't a big deal, just something to get used to. VERY CLEAN!
Hidden gem with lots of family history. The pool was great. Fire-pit setup had everything you needed as well as the entire game-room. Pool table and many games to choose from. My 4 year old son didn’t want to leave because he was fascinated by the big bucks on the wall. Definitely going back. Host was very nice and she made sure you had everything you needed. Very relaxing!
Place was absolutely amazing! Very clean very welcoming. The host was very easy to communicate with and made sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely recommend this to our family and friends!
A great place to stay! There are plenty of things to do during downtime, which made the experience even better. We stayed as a group of five and had more than enough space for everyone. The kitchen is well-equipped, and the pool table is a fantastic bonus.
My only major issue was after specifying I had a dog, they didn't charge me the fee. Trying to be honest, I reached out. They then charged me the $150 pet fee (steep for what the room was) and added on an additional $90 in booking fees and taxes that I already paid at initial billing. They would not work with me. The only reason I didn't cancel was because I wouldn't have gotten my money back. The owner was great, it was the property management coach that was difficult. With all that, the total price was not worth what we got.
Peaceful and quiet rural property. Very neat place, lots of deer heads and other wildlife trophies on display. About 15 minutes from town. Nice pool, and roomy place to stay bunkhouse style (all beds in one open room). Bathroom is just outside. Air conditioning works great. Well equipped kitchen. No laundry facilities yet, but i believe they are adding them soon. It was perfect for what we wanted, just a quiet place to spend the week, catching up on reading, playing board games, and swimming. Responsive and helpful hosts too. We loved it, hope we can stay again someday!

The Gameroom was exactly as advertised. The owner is very responsive to any needs that occur. Everything needed was available in kitchen and bathroom. The Cameroon is window-less so be prepared to use all the interior lighting. Also, plan on some significant drives to restaurants if you are not cooking. Over-all it is excellent and our grand-children enjoyed all of the on-site things to do!
The "gameroom" was a great place for us to stay. We had the opportunity to meet the owners while staying and they couldn't have been better hosts. From the kitchen to the living room and inclusive gameroom it was perfect for a quick trip. We will be back to take advantage of the location and serenity just getting away from everything. A++
We had some trainees stay here while learning a new skill and this was way better than any hotel. Owners are very helpful and reachable. House was fun and had pretty much everything they needed. We plan on staying here again!!
