Baxter Beach House: Enjoy year-round activities/events in a cozy lakeside cabin.

BAXTER BEACH HOUSE:
Welcome to our four seasons lakeside cabin located in Baxter Minnesota. Baxter Beach House is a newly renovated 4 bedroom, 2-bath home located on the sandy shores of White Sand Lake which is a ~400+ acre public access lake known for excellent fishing and only a ten-minute drive into Brainerd/Baxter for all your dining and shopping needs. The home, built in the 1940s, has been recently renovated with new flooring, a modern color palette and new furniture. The property is on City utilities so has reliable water, sewer, WiFi and electricity (including central heat and A/C).

The cabin features a lakeside living room with fireplace and a beautiful view of the lake, dining room table for six, a fully equipped and stocked kitchen with two breakfast bar stools for additional seating. For bedtime, there is a king bed in the master, a queen bed in the second bedroom, a full size bed with twin trundle in the third bedroom, and a queen bed in the lower-level bedroom. All bedrooms feature powered USB chargers. The living room sofa also features a queen size sleeper sofa. In all, the home can accommodate up to eleven people. The home also features two bathrooms, each complete with a walk-in shower, toilet, and vanity.

In addition to the amazing lake and sunset views, the Living Room also features a 75” smart TV mounted above a 65" electric fireplace. The Master Bedroom features a 55" TV, and the lower level boasts a new game room with multi-game arcade, Wii system on a 42" TV, air hockey table, and jumbo Connect Four game.

The cabin is a great place to spend time, but the outdoors is why you come up north, and Baxter Beach House has several different areas of outdoor recreation areas starting with the rear patio which is accessed via sliding glass door in the Living Room. The paver patio features a six-person table with chairs and an umbrella, a gas grill and a gas fire table with two gliders to keep you warm while taking in the lake views.

The backyard features a large grassy area for playing family games like the included cornhole, croquet, Yardzee, and bocce ball, and can also serve for impromptu games of football, soccer, etc. (though there is a large City Park located a block away). The backyard also features a lakeside fire pit with plenty of chairs and is an excellent place to enjoy the phenomenal sunsets.

Continue the fun lakeside as the property features a large soft sand beach shoreline with shallow beach entry and swimming area which is a great area for the family to splash and play in. We have provided two kayaks, a stand-up paddleboard, a Lily Pad Lake mat, a paddleboat, numerous sand toys, an assortment of fishing poles, and a variety of life jackets for your use. A 70-foot-long dock is seasonally available and accommodates a range of boats but is also a great place to fish from or just relax on the built-in bench and wave to passing boats.

Baxter Beach House is a wonderful year-round vacation base station in which to enjoy the lake life along with all the festivities the Brainerd-Baxter-Nisswa-Pequot Lakes area has to offer. We look forward to hosting you!!!
