We had such a lovely stay. The property owners are really on top of communication and made check in a breeze despite the property being in a gated community! The property was so cozy and just what we needed for a weekend getaway. Thanks so much for a great stay!

Thank you Andrea so glad you had a lovely stay and thank you for your review you are now a VIP guest at Hopskip Home. Graham
We had a wonderful stay at this home. We frequently stay at vrbo homes as a family of 5 and typically search for rentals that are an experience on their own. Every time we stay, we try to find a listing that will provide a new experience and feel immersive. This retro chalet fit the vibe check. It was a cool, funky, 70s cabin that felt authentic. We enjoyed playing with the nostalgic board games and relaxing on the deck. My kids aged 4-8 loved it as well and found the loft to be a fun and unique feature. The beds were also incredibly comfortable - maybe the most comfortable we've had at a vrbo property. The owners also provided an in depth guide for the area, which was great and much appreciated. This is a solid rental especially if you're looking to visit bushkill falls and spend time relaxing in the home.

Thank you for your kind review and being a great guest at Hopskip Home. Please come back again soon!
An amazing property for our family of 4 adults! Plenty of room to gather and yet have our own spaces. Host communication was exceptional. Having kitchen cookware in excellent condition and loads of hangers in the bedroom closets are indeed rarities with VRBO rentals, and this home excelled in those areas. Small touches, but really appreciated. We would highly recommend a visit to the Frank Frazetta Art Museum, even if you are not familiar with his work, and the Sango Kura Sake Distillery and Restaurant. Under-rated gems of the area.

Hi Mary Ann that was such a thoughtful and helpful review of our property and local gems in the area. We love Sango Kura Sake Distillery and will have to check out the museum you recommended! Come back anytime! Graham @ Hopskip Home.
Hopskip was clean, comfortable and exactly as expected
From the welcoming sunroom (perfect for an afternoon nap) to the well-equipped kitchen and dining area, to the extremely comfortable beds, this retro chalet was exactly as expected. This unit easily sleeps 8 and provides enough kitchen items for the same. There is one bedroom and a full bathroom downstairs, and two bedrooms, a loft (with two twin beds) and another full bathroom upstairs.
The deck is nice and the grill is very convenient - easy to use. The kitchen is well equipped and there is a washer/dryer combo unit that cleans and dries well. Hot water seemed to be instantly available.
The property is surrounded by trees. Neighborhood is quiet and provides for great exercise hiking the streets. Access to the neighborhood was easier than I expected - just needed to provide the address and show my ID (host had added me to a Visitor list).
The host communicated with us prior to and throughout the stay.
We highly recommend the Hopskip Retro Chalet for a short or an extended stay.

Hi Kirk, thank you for taking the time to right such a thoughtful and well written review!! This means so much to us since you were our first VRBO stay on this property! Thanks for being a 5* guest and please come back anytime to one of our properties in the Poconos. Graham @ Hopskip Home
We had a wonderful time at this house. First of all, we made some last minute changes to the reservations and the hosts couldn't have been nicer or more flexible about making those changes for us. The house itself was immaculate with very comfortable furniture, high ceilings, lots of games and just very pleasant and comfortable. The only thing I would mention is that the enclosed porch is smaller than I thought it would be. My kids enjoyed running around in the woods behind the house. Other than that there isn't much outdoor space besides the porch so keep that in mind. But it's a nice house, centrally located, nice ammenities, cozy and comfortable.

About the host
Hosted by Graham Blundell
Hi, we’re your Premier Hosts, Graham & Krista, a husband and wife team who have been renovating houses for a living since 2013. It was only a matter of time before we got our hands on our first short term rental and we were hooked. Hopskip Home now offers four amazing vacation rentals across the Poconos from Pocono Lake to East Stroudsburg to Bushkill. Come stay at one of our four chalets: (1) Designer Chalet in East Stroudsburg (2) Luxury Chalet in East Stroudsburg (3) Retro Chalet in Bushkill (4) Modern Chalet in Pocono Lake
We welcome you to the Hopskip Home Retro Chalet. This home has been our family's vacation home for nearly 20 years and we are opening our doors to you. We renovated and designed everything in the home for you to have a wonderful and thoughtful 5-STAR stay!
P.S. We recently relocated from NJ to the Poconos full time and are obsessed with trying all the amazing activities, tours, shops and restaurants to be able to recommend top things for you to do in our extensive Welcome Book. We hope you thoroughly enjoy stay at the chalet. We invite you to come back again or Hopskip Home to one of our other Pocono properties on your next visit!
Why they chose this property
The chalet is located in the amenity-filled #1 rated Saw Creek Community in Bushkill which can be a vacation in itself! The private and safe gated community has indoor and outdoor pools, indoor and outdoor tennis, pickle courts, lake, lake “beach”, private ski slope with 3 trails, bar/restaurant, playgrounds, basketball courts and more!
We love the close proximity to some of the top attractions in the Poconos like Bushkill Falls, Shawnee, Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area and TreeVentures. And it's only 20-35 mins to Camelback, Aquatopia, Camelbeach, Great Wolf, Pocono Premium Outlets, Mountainview Winery, charming downtowns of Stroudsburg & East Stroudsburg and so much more!
What makes this property unique
We love that the house has the original wood paneling, a floating staircase, an elevated deck amongst the treetops, a relaxing sunporch and high ceilings. The paneling was definitely the inspiration for the retro design. We recently refreshed the kitchen with paint, countertops and plumbing as well as the bathrooms with new vanities, toilets and accessories. We added flooring, lighting and all new furniture to modernize it. The exterior also got a coat of dark moody green paint. Add in a few vintage treasures like postcards, board games and decor to bring you back to a simpler time. We hope you enjoy this nostalgic yet thoroughly modern stay!
