Peaceful Cambridge Home on Jenkins Creek

Teri is a great host! Responded to our questions. The location is beautiful. The property and home have everything you need.

Nice quiet little place on the water, perfect for our paddle boards.Terri was a communicative and accommodating host. We opted to bring our own linens - if you do this, be aware there are no comforters on the beds.We appreciated the cleanliness and found the house more than suitable for our small reunion of college friends. Thanks, Terri and Lauren!

We had high hopes for this property because the location is excellent, and the house itself has a lot of potential. It’s a very nice house with a great layout. Unfortunately, several issues made our stay uncomfortable. When we arrived, the house was very hot and humid (78) but felt like 90. The AC appeared to have been turned off between guests. The thermostat was locked to no lower than 74, and after a rough, sleepless night, the owners kindly walked us through unlocking it—but guests should know in advance about this restriction. Air conditioning is what lowers indoor humidity and that was not possible with the locked thermostat. We also noticed condensation and mold around one of the vents, which was concerning.We didn’t realize right away the home had been heavily sprayed with Febreeze, since we spent our first few hours outside. But once indoors, it was overwhelming—on bedding, pillows, and curtains. We tried washing and removing items, but the scent lingered and made the house difficult to tolerate. It transferred to our hands and clothing. Owners confirmed Febreeze use. We left a day early.The house is fairly clean - it’s the Febreeze that lowered the score.The pool also wasn’t as clean as expected and lacked a vacuum. It was impossible to clean with just a skimmer. This home could easily be a 5-star rental, but the locked thermostat, heavy use of Febreeze, possible mold, and poor pool maintenance brought our experience down to 2 stars

This was our second time at Baer Necessities and our family had a blast. We loved how clean and tidy the house was as well as all the amenities available for our stay. We will be back again!

Teri is a great host, and the house is clean and comfortable. We loved to pool and the canoes and the dock. Great stay and would love to come back!!

The property and host were wonderful. Teri was fabulous at communication and returning e-mails. The house and setting were peaceful and we enjoyed the fall weather on the creek.

What a property! We were in town for my father’s memorial service and there couldn’t have been a better property for my family to gather during a time of loss. The pool provided plenty of healthy distraction for the kids and the water access and view provided peace for the adults. We will absolutely be back. Teri and Lauren take great care of this property and provide thorough communication. Don’t look anywhere else if visiting Cambridge.

Very relaxing. I plan to stay here again.

Teri and Lauren’s home perfectly met our family’s needs, and was exactly as advertised. We appreciated all the home comforts, from the extremely well-stocked kitchen to the beautiful pond, vegetable garden and pool outside. The communication with Teri and Lauren was exceptional from the time we booked until we checked out, and we really appreciated the binder full of helpful restaurant suggestions, including detailed notes about each restaurant, The location of the home is beautiful, and we enjoyed watching the sunset over Jenkins Creek each evening. The house is only five minutes from downtown Cambridge, but feels like you’re way out in the country. We could not have hoped for a more peaceful, comfortable home to spend a few days!

Baer Necessities is a beautiful slice of heaven…. It has everything and anything you could want. The house is pristine and spacious and also well supplied with everything you need. The outside is picture perfect with a pool, a dock and beautiful scenery right on Jenkins creek! Five stars and more!

Our family had a wonderful, relaxing time at Baer Necessities on Jenkins Creek. For birdwatchers, there are several resident herons, ducks, osprey, and terns in addition to the usual backyard birds. Crabbing from the pier amused the kids. But they preferred the swimming pool more often than not. The kitchen was very well equipped, which was a nice surprise. The fireworks at Cambridge were also a must-see event. Would totally rebook!

The place was perfect for our college friends reunion. Town was less than a 5 minute drive for restaurants and shopping, and we appreciated having the pool to escape the heat. There was plenty of room to lounge about and reminisce and play games. We loved our time here and Teri was very welcoming and easy to communicate with.

The location of the house is perfect if you want a peaceful environment. The interior is well organized with everything you need and precise instructions. Not to mention the excellent communication with Teri. She is an excellent host. We loved the house.

An absolutely beautiful property!
