Private pool days. A covered cabana with a TV and refrigerator. Mini golf, sauna, fishing, golden hour through the pines, and fireflies glowing along the path to the pond. Welcome to Skip A Rock.
This 5 bedroom, 5 bathroom Hochatown retreat is designed for families, friends, and multi generational groups who want more than a place to sleep. Here, the cabin becomes part of the vacation itself.
Spend the day swimming, playing mini golf, fishing, relaxing in the sauna, or hanging out in the detached game room. Then slow things down at the Scenic Pond Overlook, where sunlight filters through the pines and the pond glows as evening settles in.
And when you do want to explore, many of Hochatown’s restaurants, breweries, and attractions are only about 5 minutes away.
⭐️ WHY YOU WILL LOVE SKIP A ROCK ⭐️
Mornings can start slowly here.
Make an espresso or cup of coffee, build waffles with the kids, and decide how you want the day to unfold. Grab a fishing pole and walk around the corner of the cabin for pond fishing access, or take your coffee down the lighted pathway to the Scenic Pond Overlook and settle into one of the Adirondack chairs while the water sits framed between the tall pines.
As the day gets going, everyone naturally gravitates toward the backyard.
The 14 × 30 private year round swimming pool becomes the center of the fun. Swim, shoot hoops in the pool, stretch out on the tanning ledge, or settle beneath the covered poolside cabana with a Smart TV and refrigerator, keeping cold drinks, snacks, and the game only steps away.
Someone will inevitably start keeping score on the private 4 hole mini golf course, while kids, teens, and competitive adults can take over the detached game room with pool, ping pong, Xbox, and their own space to hang out.
When you are ready for something quieter, step into the cedar sauna overlooking the pool with the pond beyond, then cool down outside beneath the pines.
And then the whole property changes again as the afternoon begins to fade.
Follow the lighted path through the trees to the Scenic Pond Overlook, a raised deck with four Adirondack chairs overlooking the water. Golden hour here is something special. Sunlight filters through the tall pines, the pond glows between the trees, and everything seems to slow down.
As dusk settles in, the pathway lights begin to glow and, during the warmer months, fireflies flicker through the trees, creating an atmosphere that feels completely different from a typical pond cabin.
Come back for a soak in the 7 person hot tub, gather around the outdoor gas fireplace, watch a movie outside, or simply enjoy being together beneath the pines while the kids keep the night going in the detached game room.
This is the kind of place where everyone can be doing something different and still feel like they are vacationing together.
⭐️ PRIVATE RESORT STYLE YEAR ROUND POOL + POOLSIDE CABANA ⭐️

⭐️ SCENIC POND OVERLOOK + GOLDEN HOUR + FISHING ACCESS ⭐️
The pond experience is one of the things that gives Skip A Rock its own atmosphere.
A roughly 200 foot lighted pathway winds through the wooded property to the Scenic Pond Overlook, a 12 × 12 elevated deck approximately 6 feet above the ground.
Four Adirondack chairs face the pond through the trees, making this a favorite place for morning coffee, quiet conversation, reading, or simply watching the light change across the water.
The setting becomes especially beautiful later in the day as sunlight filters through the tall pines and across the pond.
As evening settles in, the pathway lighting begins to glow and, during the warmer months, you may catch fireflies flickering between the trees.
For guests who want to cast a line, pond fishing access is just around the corner of the cabin, making it easy to enjoy a peaceful morning or afternoon by the water.
⭐️ CEDAR SAUNA + HOT TUB + OUTDOOR RELAXATION ⭐️
