Escape to This Whimsical Gingerbread House Tower in the Massachusetts Berkshires

This writer has said it time and time again, but when you're going on vacation, your choice of lodgings can be the cherry on top of a perfect getaway.

That's part of why Airbnb is so awesome. Instead of cookie-cutter hotels, their website gives you the opportunity to find unique and unusual stays that will make your trip all the more memorable.

Take, for instance, this whimsical Gingerbread House Tower in the Berkshire County town of Tyringham, Massachusetts.

The property's Superhost, Josh, invites you and up to three others to escape to this newly-renovated retreat, situated on four acres of the Santarella Estate. The two-bedroom, two-bathroom home features an open-concept floor plan, "bohemian" and "loft" bedchambers, a kitchenette, a cozy eating area, parking for up to two vehicles, and more.

In addition to the fairytale ambiance of the Gingerbread House Tower, guests can also enjoy the serene beauty of the nature around them, including gardens, a brook and lily pond, and walking trails. This peaceful retreat is extremely popular amongst guests, so much so that it's one of the most-loved homes on Airbnb. So what are we waiting for? Let's take a look inside.
