Beautiful & Relaxing
The lake house was wonderful place to stay during my daughter's wedding. Access to was easy main lake roads and the front view to Winnisquam lake was beautiful. We were very pleased with the home's space, 4 bedrooms and intriguing history. We had frequent visitors coming or staying with us during wedding with plenty of space to accommodate. Owner Debbie and Mark made our stay easy and effortless. They were very respectful of our privacy, but we could no help to invite discussion with Debbie and Mark and obtain some intruding history of the home and surroundings. They offered use of kayaks, canoe, fishing pole, etc. during our stay, which we enjoyed on lake. I would recommend the Lake House to my friends and look forward to another opportunity to return.
Great Vacation Spot!
Our family of ten had a great time! The property is fantastic and the owners are the best. We can't wait till next years vacation.

Peaceful and relaxing....
Camp Westwood is on a beautiful location on Lake Winnisquam with beautiful sunrises. The home is well stocked to meet the needs of just about anyone who visits. It was so nice to step out the door lakeside, and be able to walk on the dock in so few steps. There's even a bench on the dock to sit, fish, or just enjoy the views. The listing information was completely accurate. We enjoyed the tranquility, and the hospitality of the owners, Deb & Mark!
A Wonderful Lake Winnisquam Lake Home!
I would like to start out by thanking Mark and Debbie for being such wonderful hosts at Camp Westwood on Lake Winnisquam! Our family has rented lakehomes in New England through VRBO/Homeaway for the last five years, and we all agreed that this by far has been the best! The house had more than enough room for 8 adults and 4 children to relax and play. The house was spotless and very well appointed. The kitchen had everything we needed for a week of extensive meals, including a lobster dinner for 16! The yard provided plenty of room for games and play. The lake proved to be perfect for all members of our family including the babies. The water is shallow in a large enough area that the kids felt very safe paddling around and standing on the paddleboard. The adults were able to swim, float, kayak, canoe, and paddle around in the deeper water. If we were not in the lake, we relaxed in the many adirondack chairs set around the yard or on the deck or on the dock. Every evening we ate dinner outside on the three picnic tables. At night, we sat outside under the stars and enjoyed the huge harvest moon which shone over the water. It was glorious! Mark and Debbie were available if we needed them We especially enjoyed talking about the history of the house, the area around the lake, and fishing with them. They also shared vegetables from their fantastic garden, which was a wonderful surprise. It was a wonderful week full of beautiful memories!! I would enthusiastically recommend Camp Westwood to anyone looking for a real New England lake vacation!
Beautiful waterfront lakehouse
We have been vacationing in rental properties on Lake Winnisquam for over 15 years. This is a beautiful spot that is also convenient to many local attractions and services. The house has an interesting history--it was once a one room school house--and it reflects it. The house was very clean and well-maintained. Bathrooms were all recently updated and spotless. Lots of pinewood boards throughout with bear- and duck-themed decorations. This is more of a "camp" than a "hotel" feel. However, it was not rustic. Lots of bird feeders, birds and ducks to watch throughout our stay. The ducks will eat from your hand if offered. Our kids--ages 18-10--had a great time in the water with the kayaks and the power boat that we rented for tubing in the middle of the week. The owners are always available, which can be a forgotten plus if something goes wrong or does not work--not an issue during our stay. (In the past, we have stayed at rentals where the owners were out of state and something broke down and that was a problem.) Mark & Debbie are very attentive to the property and knowledgeable of the area. If you want to chat them up, it's easy; if you just want to be left alone, they are fine with that too.
A little slice of heaven!!
First of all, Debbie & Mark are the NICEST people you'll ever meet! They greeted us upon arrival, gave us a tour of the house and grounds, and told us to let them know if we needed anything. Right after they greeted us, a mama duck and her 11 tiny ducklings showed up to greet us as well. There's a container of corn to feed them with, and they regularly came around for snacks throughout the day. It was such a joy to watch them! The house is very comfortable, with lots of seating, and the kitchen is well stocked. The king bed upstairs was like sleeping on a cloud, soooo comfy. The upstairs bathrooms are brand new and so cute. We had plenty of towels and paper products. The views are gorgeous, especially in the morning as the sun comes through the trees and shines on the lake. It was really nice to have use of the kayaks & boat, and my son did some catch & release fishing, which he loved. The house is full of interesting photos and history about the house. And as we also discovered, Debbie is quite the fisher woman, with some amazing catches to her credit :-) We hosted 2 family events, one of them with 24 people, so Mark kindly brought over some extra chairs for us to use. The weather was perfect that day and we all sat outside and had lunch at the picnic tables. We BBQ'd a few times, and cooked lobster one night. On Debbie's advice, we got the lobster from the Market Basket and all agreed that they were the sweetest, most tender lobster we've ever eaten. We ate at Fratello's, our favorite Italian restaurant, and I discovered the most delicious chicken pot pie I've ever had at the 99 restaurant. Although it was motorcycle week, most of the action was on the other side of the lake, so other than distant motorcycle noise, it was very quiet on our side. Debbie & Mark do indeed have a little piece of heaven right there on the lake and we thank them for sharing it with us. We had a wonderful time, and have already booked our trip for next year! I recommend, without hesitation, this lovely house and it's down to earth, very sweet owners, Debbie & Mark. Go and have fun!!!
