HOUSE-HOUSE-HOUSE-HOUSE

The only solution that I can see is to have multiple lines go through the houses and/or the stores.
As soon as you have hooked up any three houses to the stores you will have defined two closed areas and one open area.
One of the stores will be on the border between the two closed areas and therefor enclosed within..
The only possible hole in the closed areas is through a building.
This means that you cannot hook up the fourth house without going through a house.

Sure, just make a circle around the 4 houses and write beside the circle, 'Hotel', then connect the circle to the 3 stores.
Easy!!

the only way to do it would be if you had a HUGE piece of paper and you could make like big looping lines around the outside of each other to connect each house to each store

You zig zag it and than all are connected VVV
though if you mean that each house needs three lines to go from the house to stores I don't think that is possible!

HOUSE-HOUSE-HOUSE-HOUSE
STORE-----STORE-----STORE
Start at the first house then store house then store house then store then house.
or
Starting at the fourth house go to the store then to the house then to the store house then store then house.
