SANTARELLA GINGERBREAD HOUSE, MASSACHUSETTS
Sitting in a relaxing and picturesque valley in the Berkshires, the name itself of this charming fairy tale town makes you know that you are about to enter a prime example of fairy tale towns in USA .
Known as the Tyringham Gingerbread House, it actually has three houses that you can book and stay in. Because of its magical setting, many choose to come here for a weekend getaway.
It even has a honeymoon silo you can stay in if you want an extended stay after your wedding here. Its charm comes from the stained-glass windows, steepled roofs, the lily pond, and the location also has a winding stream in the gardens.
Like our previous forest, castles aren’t always made from stone…..

I would love to visit these sights !
Thank you from,
Southern California
I love the Maroon Bells! It is magical in itself as is Snowmass.
Glacier Bay Alaska. I love nature. I have seen several of your named places !
I too have been to a few of these places and plan to add a few more to them. Aspen is is heavenly.
Thank you, American is beautiful!
This list kinda sucked AND it was laid out in that super annoying cheesy click bait’click each page to see each one’ style. There are sooo many beautiful places for all travelers and adventurers around the World to highly consider visiting in America- Cochise County AZ desert and mountains, Key West FL, Hilton Head and Charleston SC, coastal Maine, Minnesota Lake Country, South Dakota mountains near Rushmore, Lake country of Eastern WA and Northern Idaho, San Juan Islands and Olympic peninsula WA State, the river gorges of Wisconsin, Upper peninsula Michigan, Big Bear and the high desert in the Inland Empire, Northern New Mexico mountain ranges, Yellowstone WY, Mountains rivers and forests of West Virginia, Malibu Laguna La Jolla, Oregon coast and high deserts, Columbia River gorge, etc, etc
With the exception of Glacier Bay and Aspen, I can name ten places in the Sierra Nevada alone that dwarf the other sites/views mentioned on that list. The finest works of man pale in comparison to the average works of nature.
100% agreed! I went on an 8,000 mile solo road trip 4 yrs ago, completely unplanned and with NO schedule. I concluded that if others could see what i saw just in the incredible green rolling hills as far as you can see, and majestic cliffs and winding rivers, etc… And if others could meet strangers as i did here and there… those people would be changed and their hearts would swell in gratitude and thanksgiving at being alive and able to take in such astounding sights and to meet such regular, real, and often loving people. God is good!
You missed the place that is “out of this world”. Rock Island, WI. It’s a full day trip if you’re staying further down on the Door Co Peninsula. First you take a car ferry to Washington Island and then a foot ferry to Rock Island. Go on a warm, cloudless day and when you’re there you feel that you’re at the TOP OF THE WORLD. The blue sky and the blue water seem to be one. It is TRULY AMAZING.
Carmel by the Sea California should have been on this list!
The Giant Redwoods should have made the list of Ferry Tale places.
WHY NOT make LOCATIONS EASIeR to find and look at so they don’t HAVE to be ignored?
All were beautiful and charming. Probably our favorite is Aspen, CO!
Partial to Maroon Bells in Aspen. Enjoyed fishing there as a youngster! The most ‘Fairy Tale’ like place I would like to visit would be the Santarella Gingerbread House in Massachusetts.
I wouldn’t mind inheriting the Biltmore estate (NC). The Bamboo forest in HI is sprctacular
Like your list of places to see but you left out the South Pacific, for example, New Zealand (North/South Island), Fiji, Tahiti …
The Newport mansions are exceptional as well as SANTARELLA Gingerbread House, Massachusetts, and Boldt castle just to name a few. Loved your list.
Shown here is merely the Power House for the Island. The Castle is a Magnificent Structure a few hundred feet away from the power house and huge in stature. There is an underground tunnel connecting the two. The work that has been done to the Castle is beyond magnificent! This is well worth the time to visit. Alexander Bay, Thousand Islands New York.
