About this chalet rental
Once upon a time, nestled deep within a mystical woods, there stood a fairytale house that seemed to have sprung right out of the pages of a storybook. This enchanting abode was the embodiment of whimsy and magic, capturing the hearts of all who were lucky enough to stumble upon it.
But what truly captured the imagination was the spiral staircase. The staircase seemed to have a life of its own, twisting and turning upwards with a sense of joyful anticipation. Climbing up the spiral staircase led you to a charming catwalk, where two bedrooms awaited, each exuding a sense of comfort and coziness that only a fairytale could provide.
Downstairs, a main bedroom awaited, complete with a grand king-sized bed that looked as though it belonged to royalty. There is also a bunk room, designed with the imagination of children in mind, housing a twin over queen bunk bed with a trundle.
Yet, the true heart of this magical house lay beyond its walls. Just a stone's throw away, a detached game room and bar area stood, a place where laughter and merriment flowed freely. Inside, a billiards table stood proudly, inviting friendly competitions. The bar held a promise of delightful conversations. A seating area offered a place to relax and share tales, while a full bathroom ensured that comfort was never far away. For those who wished to stay the night, sleeping accommodations for four were provided.
The house itself is a generous host, accommodating up to 18 souls who sought refuge within its walls. The kitchen, fully stocked and ready for culinary adventures, stands as a testament to the joy of sharing food and stories. And just outside, an outdoor fire pit waits patiently, offering a place for stories to be woven into the fabric of the night.
Perched near the shy beaver boat launch at Raystown Lake, this fairytale house is a haven for those seeking both adventure and respite. It is a place where the line between reality and enchantment blurred, a place where friendships are forged, and memories are etched into the tapestry of time.
And so, the fairytale house in the woods stood as a testament to the enduring magic of stories, the power of imagination, and the capacity of a simple dwelling to become a cherished part of countless journeys and tales yet to be told. Note that "Gigi's Place" is 300 feet away and can be rented at the same time

My family had a wonderful time at Gingerbread Chalet. There was plenty of sleeping space and the separate building provided a great space for family movie nights and kids to play. We all agreed we would come back!

Overall we enjoyed our stay but there are a few things we wish we were told before we arrived.
-Horrible wifi. Don't expect to call, text or stream
-You cannot choose the house temperature. You must text or call the owner (with limited service) and they will turn it to (around) what you asked for.
-They have a big mouse problem.
-The two upstairs loft bedrooms do not have doors. They have curtains.
-One of the bathrooms is out of order (the one that has the advertised jacuzzi tub) and when we brought this up brought it up to the owner, he blamed housekeeping, said he would take a look and then jetted out the door. Quite literally. He left and did not come back.
-Game room is NOT connected to the rest of the house. It contains 2 bedrooms that are not connected to the house.
-Your bed will not be made. You will find sheets wrapped up on each bed
-House is not well-stocked. You get one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, one hand towel, etc. no matter how long you rented the space for. So you will want to bring your own.
-Many of the dishes were still dirty andgreasy with food stuck on them.
