Clean and quiet, perfect for our family. Our kids liked the little beach on the lake just down the street as well. Host was very responsive and helpful. We hope to be back next summer!

Beautiful home! Clean and fully stocked. Very peaceful setting, enjoyed morning coffee on the front deck which was very relaxing. Beds were super comfortable! A short walk to the small but cute community beach. Enjoyed our stay! Would definitely book again.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear you found the lake house clean, well stocked, and a peaceful place to relax. There’s nothing better than starting the day with a cup of coffee on the front deck with the sounds of the local Loon’s on the lake, and we’re so glad you were able to enjoy that experience. It’s also great to hear the comfortable beds and the easy walk to our little community beach helped make your stay memorable. It was truly a pleasure hosting you, and we sincerely appreciate your kind words. We look forward to welcoming you back to Baxter Lake for another relaxing getaway!

Host was GREAT to work with, amazing communication! The cabin is so cozy & clean. Everything you need is there, right down to cell chargers next to the beds. We definitely misread the description cause we thought the pic of the exterior (the lake) was what we saw while sitting on the deck which was what we really were looking forward to & that wasn't the case but it was a really nice place to sit outside regardless.

Thank you for the kind words! We're so glad the communication felt easy and that the cabin was cozy, clean, and well-stocked right down to the little details. It sounds like the deck still ended up being a nice spot to relax, even if the lake view wasn't quite what you expected from the photos. We're happy you had a good stay overall.

My family took our first trip to New Hampshire and decided to book this house and glad we did. The house was as exactly as listed. It was clean, very well stocked with everything we needed. The high tech appliances are a plus. Spacious deck with nice grill and It's only a 3 minute walk to the beach area with private boat ramp. For those who like to fish, baxter lake has some big ones! The host, Tricia, was very helpful, responsive to my messages and a pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend this property for a nice New Hampshire getaway!

We're so glad your family's first New Hampshire trip was a good one! It's wonderful to hear the house lived up to the listing, from the well-stocked kitchen and high-tech appliances to the spacious deck and short walk to the beach and boat ramp. Baxter Lake really does have some great fishing spots. Thank you for the kind words and for recommending the property to others looking for a New Hampshire getaway.
