    Cute little cabin with an enclosed yard for our dogs to play in. We had a great time! Really appreciate the host for accommodating us, as we requested to stay an extra night due to a winter storm. Overall, we’d come back! Thank you!

    The house was adorable and we were surprised how large the backyard was. Great location. Comfy bedding. Make sure to bring paper plates and tongs for flipping bacon!

    Loved our stay and the house! The location was great and we were able to walk to dinner everynight. My only negative comment would be the condition of carpet in living room and bedroom.It didn’t look very clean at all.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our small family visited The Gingerbread House over the 4th of July holiday weekend. The cabin was cozy, quiet, and features a fantastic bed! The backyard is bigger than the house, private, and well appointed with chairs and tables. The ability to walk into town in a few blocks but not hear it from the cottage was amazing.Older property but full of charm. Definitely recommend for a small group. Two full bathrooms a plus.

    The location was convenient for shops and beaches, but the orientation of the home during the warm season was such that the patios were quite hot in the evenings when we returned from the lake. There is a strict rule to not be outside past 9pm, when the patio and lights were lovely. The cottage was well appointed and clean. The couch and beds were comfortable. A winter stay would be preferable, so the warmth of the upstairs room would be appreciated more. The check in and out process was a breeze.

Had a great time.

    Walking through door my wife said I smell mildew. I said mildew and a lot worse! The epicenter of the bad smell is the kitchen. I am a winemaker and winery owner. I have a heightened sense of smell. I had to keep every window open 24 hours to deal with the odor. The place needs a lot of tlc and a new indication of pride of ownership. We left a day early. The smell got me!! All in all it sucked.

    Left a day early. Too hot to sleep upstairs where the beds are. Door opens half way in what passes for a bathroom on first floor. Most everything in the house wore out 10 years ago. Outside area was very nice but not cared for and dirty. No hose outside or broom to clean up ourselves. Charm only goes so far.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed the ‘Gingerbread Cottage’! Super quirky and fun! The location was great for being near restaurants and access to the lake at Kings Beach. We took day trips to Donner State Park and Prosser Creek Rec Park and loved them both!! Great spot for kayaking!! Having the backyard was awesome for our pup to explore!!!
