Like something out of "Hansel and Gretel," a larger-than-life gingerbread house made with hundreds of pounds of sugar and spice has been luring in guests at one southern Arizona resort.
Much like the fairy tale, they are free to enter and sit down by a roaring fire. But there is no wicked witch.
Instead, there's a server with a three-course menu.
A team of pastry chefs at the Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain in Marana decided this Christmas to go make a gingerbread building that was more than a display. The 19-foot-tall "house" has been operating for the past month as a private dining room and become valuable real estate in terms of the attention.
There's no cost to walk through. But for $150, you can reserve the whole thing. Up to six people can sit down and order meals and beverages from the hotel kitchen. The fireside fee does not include food.
