We just refreshed the house with all new décor and a few vintage treasures to open our doors to you. We hope you enjoy this nostalgic yet thoroughly modern stay.

----------WHAT OUR GUEST HAVE TO SAY----------

"This place is well worth it and the hosts were amazing start to finish. It is a quiet and beautiful place. You will enjoy it when you go." -John

“Graham & Krista's house was exactly what we were expecting and looking for. Private while still having plenty of activities close by. Very clean and very cozy house! Would definitely recommend!” -Sarah

"Visited with my family to celebrate my Dad's birthday, and it was a perfect spot for a cozy Winter reunion. The kitchen was beautifully equipped, we really enjoyed cooking meals together. We played board games at the dinner table, and spent time on the back porch reading by the fire. I love how it's decorated; a perfect retro vibe. The hosts were friendly and helpful; great, clear instructions for check-in and check-out. We are looking forward to staying here again!" -Ebbie

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.

About the host

Hosted by Graham Blundell

Host profile image
Hi, we’re your Superhosts, 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 three amazing vacation rentals across the Poconos from Pocono Lake to East Stroudsburg to Bushkill. Come stay at one of our three chalets: (1) Modern Chalet in Pocono Lake, (2) Luxury Chalet in East Stroudsburg or (3) Retro Chalet in Bushkill.

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!
