Growing up, I loved to read. I loved being transported into stories full of whimsical creatures, royalty, and beautiful settings. I even tried to write my own fairytales as a kid, and while I did win some awards, many stories ended up as crumpled papers on my floor.
However, I think I would have had more success if I had written while staying at this inspiring vacation rental in Northern California. Located in Kings Beach, right by Lake Tahoe, this charming cottage Airbnb is the type of place that will transport you onto a page of a fairytale.
The minute you arrive at the Gingerbread Cottage, you’ll feel like you’ve just stepped onto the pages of a storybook. The design of the cottage is charming and magical, as shown by the bright yellow door, shingled walls, and stone walkway. You’ll feel inspired as soon as your stay begins.
Step inside and you’ll be greeted with a simple, octagon-shaped living room. There are also plenty of seats for relaxing and de-stressing. I particularly love the couch next to the gas stove, which is the perfect location for snuggling up with a significant other or even just with a good book and a fluffy blanket. This Northern California Airbnb is ideal for a couple’s getaway or even for some time alone. Up to four adults can comfortably stay at this rental.
To ensure you have the energy to live out your story at this fairytale cottage, there is a fully furnished kitchen and a high-top table to make mealtime easy and convenient. You will also feel fully rested after you spend a night on the queen-sized bed with memory foam and plush linens. Plus, to make you truly feel like royalty, the master suite features a unique octagon-shaped design, a 20-foot teepee ceiling, and a bathroom with heated flooring.
While the inside of the home is a romantic setting for your story, the outdoor space truly sets the scene. There are two decks, one on the second floor that offers beautiful tree-top views, and the second is behind the home and features a grill and patio furniture. Of course, you’ll also find additional amenities throughout the property, like kayaks and cruiser bikes for outdoor adventures, and a walk-in shower with a rain showerhead indoors.
While you may want to spend all of your time at the Gingerbread Cottage in Kings Beach, make the short walk to Lake Tahoe for a day on the water. I also recommend you explore the community, which is filled with one-of-a-kind shops and delicious restaurants. Kings Beach is a charming, quiet town, perfect for some rest and relaxation.
