Relaxing at Lake Winnisquam
The home was right on the lake with two docks large enough to fish from or sit on and relax. Beautiful deck and screen porch facing the lake. 4 good sized bedrooms including a master suite. The kitchen was outfitted perfectly with plenty of dishware and cooking implements.
Would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking to relax on one of New Hampshire's premier lakes.

Camp westwood and memories
Camp westwood is absolutely perfect. Every nook and cranny at the property is maintained and clean with Deb and Marks personal touch. I have been coming here for 3 years and hope to continue visiting every year. This is a slice of paradise in New Hampshire, bring lots of and enjoy the new dock as well the MANY different kinds of kayakes. Lake winnisquam is clear amd clean water. The upstairs bedrooms have a INCREDIBLE view and you feel like your in a houseboat. I recommend buying groceries and spend every minute at camp westwood, 🏕 its a perfect lake house. Aso the pricing is really good! You wont find a better lake house rental. This place is VERY clean, its amazing

Memorable and fun family week!
A wonderful, relaxing time, We had all we could ever want for fun on the water. Spent a lot of time on the deck and several long lingering meals around the large dining table. The week was a resounding success and would like to do it again next year (if all works out). Thank you to Deb and Mark for being such great hosts!

Family vacation
We stayed here with our son daughter in law & 2 yr old grandson. The owners are on site & very available. Our grandson loved feeding the ducks every day! Debbie & Mark the owners left us cracked corn for daily duck feeding! We kept our 21ft four Winns on their dock & enjoyed boat rides ice cream & of course trips to the sand bar! Beautiful views of the sunrise every morning & listening to loons & the barred owl nightly. Loved making campfires nightly & s’mores of course 😁

Perfect lakefront spot
Camp Westwood is the perfect getaway. The property feels very private. The owners have thought of everything; the kitchen is well stocked for cooking, they have boats and water toys and life jackets in every size, a grill, a fire pit complete with firewood and everything else you need. Beautiful gardens and bird feeders that brought out gold finches, a woodpecker, & hummingbirds. It is just steps to the water and you can sit on the back deck or porch and hear the sound of the lake water lapping at the rocks. Can’t say enough good things. We loved it. Great for kids. Comfy and cozy. Swimmable beach. Water was clear and shallow with a mostly sandy bottom. So perfect!

Duck paradise
We found the house to be well maintained and very convenient for hosting our large family as the common spaces were large and comfortable. The property was beautifully landscaped and the lake and mountain views were lovely. The property owners were welcoming and friendly but not at all intrusive.
However, the property owners encourage the local ducks to come onto the dock and to the bird feeders on the property, meaning there were always ducks on the dock and around the yard, along with their duck poo. Although the owners provided a hose to wash off the deck, we found the setup to be very unsanitary and I was not comfortable letting my child touch anything. For those who have had duck itch, you know it’s better to keep your distance from the ducks.

Our family enjoyed a week of swimming, boating, and relaxing at Camp Westwood in July. The property was clean, well stocked with essential staples, and very comfortable. Debbie and Mark were gracious hosts who were there when we had a question, yet gave us plenty of privacy the rest of the time.

Don't miss out on this gem.
We had an amazing stay at Camp Westwood. Mark and Debbie were incredible hosts and you can tell they really care to make sure your stay is enjoyable and memorable. The property is spotless and rich in history. We had 5 adults and 4 children staying at the property and we had more than enough room. The kids loved fishing off the dock and riding in the row boat and kayaks.
No need to bring anything but yourself and some food. Mark and Debbie have thought of everything. They even provided a couple bottles of wine upon arrival. Much needed to wind down that evening after a long drive.. The maple syrup was such a nice touch and is a great reminder of our fantastic time. The kids still talk about their time there and want to know when we can go back. We definitely plan to return. Don't miss out on this gem!

Beautiful house with rich history and friendly hosts who were there to help whenever needed
We had a wonderful experience! The house was lovely and well maintained. It was full of stories that were brought to life by pictures, diaries, past guest notes, and the hosts, Mark and Debbie. The house was right next to Lake Winnisquam, providing a beautiful view of the lake. And it was a great place to take the row boat, canoe or kayaks to the lake for the breeze or exercises on the water. We were novices at lake activity, but Mark and Debbie were right there to help us get started. As a bonus,, the property offered plenty of chances to see and feed ducks, see red foxes, hummingbirds, muskrats, and other wild life. The hosts were living next door and they offered timely help. All in all, a beautiful home with wonderful hosts!

Fantastic vacation home on beautiful lake Winnisquam
We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay at camp Westwood during kids spring break. The hosts were super friendly and accommodating. We had so much fun kayaking, seeing various birds, and exploring books and trinkets in the house. My favorite spot of the house is the sun room—sitting on the comfortable recliner and soaking in the beautiful lake view.
