----------YOUR SUPERHOSTS----------
Hi, we’re your hosts, Graham & Krista, a husband and wife team who renovate houses for a living and owners of Hopskip Home, a collection of three vacation rental houses across the Poconos. We welcome you to the Hopskip Home Retro Chalet. This home has been in our family for nearly 20 years. 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 FIRST GUESTS HAD TO SAY----------
“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
"Awesome Stay! A Jewel of a Find. Well worth the cost. Our Hosts thought of everything and were very responsive. Everything was in great working condition. Our family of 7 were very comfortable and right at home. Beautiful area and surroundings. Fully stocked kitchen and amenities. They even provided Tide Pods for the laundry. We would definitely stay again and again!" -Ginger
