"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

Kirk R., Plano, TX USA

Liked: Cleanliness
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.
