Guinevere was perfect!
This our second year at Cape Guinevere, and once again we had a wonderful stay. The house is cozy and well equipped, and really just perfect for our family to gather for meals, walks around Lancelot Shores, and of course for fires around the fire pit. It is close to Rochester and stores but we felt like we had our own private getaway in the woods. We’d go back again in a heartbeat!

Cozy and comfortable
We loved our stay at Cape Guinevere! The house is clean, comfortable and well stocked. The beaches are nice and close. We are grateful we got to bring our dogs with us on vacation. We had lots of fun swimming with them at the dog beach. Owners are great!

Perfect New England Vacation
We spent a week in this lovely, immaculate and comfortable home. Our family rages in age from 7 to 68 years old, and every one of us enjoyed this vacation. The location was perfect. There are a couple small beaches that we could walk to but we were close enough to drive to Ogunquit Maine to spend a day at the ocean beach. We even spent a day at Lake Winnipesaukee and enjoyed that beautiful area. When we were just relaxing at home, there were plenty of board games to play, and we even enjoyed sitting around the fire pit a couple evenings. We had such a wonderful time. The homeowner was so quick to answer our questions and was very accommodating. Our family agrees that this is a rental home that we all want to return to!

About the host

Hosted by Jason Muth

Host profile image
Hi, We’re Rory + Jason. We grew up in northern MA and suburban NYC respectively. We're currently living in beautiful Newburyport, MA after spending two decades in Boston. We have vacation rental properties in New Hampshire and in Provincetown, Massachusetts.

Why they chose this property

We purchased Cape Guinevere at Baxter Lake in 2016 from a lovely family who built the home in the 90’s and intended to retire here. We live in Newburyport, but have been vacationing in New Hampshire at Baxter Lake for many years. In fact, our family members retired right down the street from Cape Guinevere! Baxter Lake is close enough from Boston for a quick hour-and-forty-minute drive up after work, but it's a world away from the city. No light pollution, clean air, quiet and tranquil, Cape Guinevere at Baxter Lake is the perfect escape for a long weekend, or a full week's vacation in the summer.

What makes this property unique

You can tell from the home’s craftsmanship, attention-to-detail, and structural integrity that the original owners truly expected to live here year round, and for many years. It's a destination unto itself, but also close enough to grocery stores, hardware stores, craft stores, and restaurants (15 minutes away), skiing (45 minutes away), and day trips under an hour (Ogunquit, Dover, Portsmouth, Laconia, Lake Winnipesaukee, Maine, Outlet Shopping).

We escape the city for our home in the woods as often as possible, but we also love sharing our home with responsible families and groups of friends who will treat our home respectfully.
