I stayed in a 220-square-foot version of Rapunzel's castle that's only $242 a night. See inside the tiny home fit for a princess.

• I recently stayed in Rapunzel's Cottage at Charmed Resorts in Canada.
• The 220-square-foot tiny home was fit for a princess and I couldn't believe how big it felt.

My fiancé and I stayed at Rapunzel's Cottage in Charmed Resorts, a collection of about a dozen fairy-tale-inspired tiny homes in Crowsnest Pass, Canada.

The resort, which is about 2 1/2 hours from the Calgary International Airport, has tiny homes themed after beloved characters like Peter Pan, Belle from "Beauty and the Beast," and Rapunzel.

On this trip, we stayed in a whimsical cottage inspired by the famously long-haired princess. Here's what it was like.

Insider paid a media rate of $100 for this tiny-home stay. The full rate was about $242.

On the outside, Rapunzel's Cottage looked absolutely whimsical. Small details, like the braid of hair hanging from the upper tower and the swing in the front yard, stood out.

The swing was hung high enough for adults to use it.      Paige DiFiore

The first-floor shutters open and close, which I thought was pretty cool.

You had to be outside in order to open and close the shutters.      Paige DiFiore

When I walked inside, I was right in the kitchen area, which doesn't have a sink. I liked the aqua microwave and large, retro-looking fridge.

I loved the color of the microwave and shelving unit.      Paige DiFiore

Nearby, a recycling bin and trash can were tucked under a ladder. Our trash was so tiny, though, that we'd already filled it within an hour of our arrival.

The trash can was a good fit for the space but it was almost useless.      Paige DiFiore

Next to the door, we found a broom, a dustpan, and a few hooks where we could hang our coats.

The window let in plenty of sunlight.      Paige DiFiore

On the ground floor, there's a queen-size bed with two chairs on either side, which provide extra seating and double as makeshift nightstands.

I appreciated being able to store my phone here while it charged.      Paige DiFiore

The first floor also has a small, round bed tucked into a nook. I'm 5-foot-2 and could fit inside, but I think it's better suited for a child.

This space was cute, but I wouldn't want to sleep in it.      Paige DiFiore

The first floor also has a decently sized bathroom with a full shower.

The bathroom was spacious and quite standard.      Paige DiFiore

The online listing said the space has a "purple sink and toilet." The toilet wasn't purple but the sink was, which was a cute touch.

I climbed a ladder to get to Rapunzel's main turret. It was super sturdy, and I appreciated the extra hand holes and intricate designs on the side.

The ladder was easy to climb if you used the hand holes.      Paige DiFiore

The second-floor circle bed took my breath away. I'd never seen one like it before, and the area where it sits was filled with sunlight.

The upstairs circle bed was one of the coziest places I've ever been.      Paige DiFiore

I loved the flowers painted over the panels and the small shelf around the circumference of the turret.

The shelf was perfect for my phone and book.      Paige DiFiore

I couldn't get over how tall the ceiling is. The wood beams are also arranged in a beautiful pattern.

I truly think even a tall person wouldn't feel claustrophobic up here.      Paige DiFiore

Even when I was standing on my tiptoes and reaching my arms up, I couldn't touch any of these beams.

I found myself staring up at the ceiling just to admire it.      Paige DiFiore

I spent most of my time curled up on this bed reading my book. The space's natural light and coziness were unmatched.

This spot was my favorite of the entire tiny-home trip.      Paige DiFiore

Next, I climbed back down and walked across to a different ladder that leads to the other second-floor area.

A tall person could probably climb this quite quickly.      Paige DiFiore

This area has gorgeous slanted wood ceilings and two twin-size beds on the floor. The lack of bed frames didn't bother me — I figured it would give guests extra headroom.

The second floor above the queen bed was quite simple.      Paige DiFiore

One of the beds has a small bookshelf above it.

I liked that each bed came with a fuzzy blanket.      Paige DiFiore

The faux branches connecting the floating shelves were so cool, and I liked how the colorful books looked against the wall.

Each home had small details.      Paige DiFiore

Every bed on both of the second floors has an outlet beside it. I appreciated that people sleeping on these levels could charge their electronics while they sleep, too.

Tiny homes don't mean you won't have modern perks and amenities.      Paige DiFiore

The other bed on this floor is positioned directly below a beautiful circular window.

I liked that you could also keep out the sunlight with curtains.      Paige DiFiore

The view from this level was great, and I couldn't get over the cathedral-like ceilings and bright wood. The whole house was drenched with sunlight during my stay.

The ceilings in these tiny homes make them feel so much bigger.      Paige DiFiore

From the second floor, I could see pretty much the entire space except for the queen-size bed below.

Rapunzel's Cottage was filled with light colors and sunshine when I visited.      Paige DiFiore

Outside, the cottage has a swing. It felt sturdy, and I was glad it wasn't just for kids.

I loved the swing outside of the cottage.      Paige DiFiore

Every cottage on the property has its own wood-fired hot tub, which was quite nice. An employee on the grounds helped us chop wood and start a fire in the heating element. The tub got nice and hot after a few hours.

Two adults fit comfortably in the hot tub, but I'd be hesitant to put more people than that.      Paige DiFiore

Overall, Rapunzel's cottage was one of the most beautiful places I've ever stayed. It sleeps six, but at full capacity, I think those in the first-floor circle bed would be getting the short end of the stick.

The circular beds and swing were my favorite parts of Rapunzel's Cottage.      Paige DiFiore
