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.

Magical stay
Cozy cottage that captures a rustic feel and charm, without going overboard. Beautiful in the snow. Well appointed kitchen. Size is just right for couples or a small group, but it's not large. Good restaurants nearby and close to the slopes. Very happy we stayed!

Lovely Property
A great location for Kings Beach and a lovely clean property. Spacious and relaxing back yard. Ideal for a couple, individual or Mom/Dad with little ones. Our Labrador LOVED all the smells in the back yard and exploring the nooks and crannies.

We didn't spend a ton of time in the home as we were out exploring. However, we loved the location close to everything as well as the balcony and outdoor space. Would revisit

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.

Adorable little cabin
Very clean, and adorable cabin. My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon, and absolutely loved it. Many places to eat, and shop nearby. Neighborhood was quiet. Nice peaceful surroundings is what we wanted, and that's what we got. If I could suggest anything, a window a/c unit upstairs for the summer would be great. It got warm up there, and didn't really cool down until later, even with all the windows open.

Lovely but limited
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.

Charming but run down.
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.

The stink that won’t go away!!
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.

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!!!

Where do I start with this cute property? First I loved that it has its own driveway, great back yard with fire-pit, the outside balcony was awesome, kitchen though small was still spacious, bedroom up stairs has it's own full bath and old victorian kind of style. I have to give some negatives to keep it real, Strainers missing in some faucets, Towel in the shower had a humid smell(maybe don't hang one there previously). That's really it. Other than that, I would definitely stay there again when in Lake Tahoe.

A Bit Worn and Creaky
Looked much better in the pictures. Worn and stained carpets, creaky and steep stairs with wobbly handrail. TV did not work and it took 2 days and multiple phone calls to mgt company before someone came out at 7pm to fix it (took 1/2 hour). The yard was a nice place to sit and our dog enjoyed it very much. Bed is comfortable.

Great Stay - Great Location
Loved our stay here. Very well equipped house, including beach stuff (chairs, kayaks etc). Lots of outdoor space and comfortable beds. Location is close to the kings beach area but secluded from the hustle-bustle. The only issue we had is that the bikes were not in ridable shape, even though we notified the host ahead of time that we would like to use them as was suggested in the rental instructions... Not a big deal... we would definitely stay here again.
