Now is the time to make your own memories in matchless Malibou Lake''As Hansel and Gretel walked deeper into the woods, they saw in the middle of a sparkling glade, a pretty little cottage, built entirely of gingerbread, candy, cake, and sugar. '' Hansel & Gretel, 1812 As children, many of us were intrigued by this German folk tale, and even now, Gingerbread Houses continue to be built, reminiscent of this charming style: winding paths, gable roofs, and stone fireplaces.
