About DEBBIE
My husband & I have been lucky enough to have this property in our family for three generations. We live in the carriage house next door. We are avid fishermen and love all 4 seasons here. We have lots of great memories of good times & friendships made over the years. Lake Winnisquam fishing is terrific: Lg & sm. mouth bass, lake trout, rainbow trout, white & yellow perch & sunfish. The wildlife is abundant. The gardens are beautiful! We love to watch the sunrise and the moon rise over the mountains across the lake. We live in a wonderful neighborhood!
DEBBIE purchased this chateau / country house in 1925
Why DEBBIE chose Lakes Region
We are so thankful that our Grandmother & Grandfather chose this spot back in 1925! Step back in time and read the old guest books and journals from 1903! It is such a beautiful location with the Million Dollar View! We are so happy to be able to spend 4 seasons here.
What makes this chateau / country house unique
Relax, quiet, beautiful surroundings. The house is full of charm with sunny spacious rooms filled with history. We have two 45' HDTVs, one in the living room and one in the master bedroom. We have an apple tree, and fresh beautiful flowers & herbs surrounding the property, ready for picking! We enjoy feeding the birds and watching them nest in the houses by the lake.
During Winter we ice fish in front of the house, x-country ski, downhill ski/tubing, snowmobile to Canada from our front yard/snowshoe the woods exploring animal tracks along the brook.

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.
Renter beware
The home is nice, the A/C is great. The wooden doors were swollen so opening and closing one of the bedroom doors was like a wresting match. It is pricey but you don't have to worry about sheets and such which is helpful. Owners live on site which we were not aware of until shortly before our trip. They seemed like nice people and tried to make you feel like a guest. Everything seemed to go OK. Over a week later after they had another family rent they filed a claim on us to the insurance company for a broken crisper drawer in the fridge. The shelf in the fridge had issues when we got there, we didn't investigate what was the issue just stocked our food in the fridge to enjoy our vacation. It froze our food all week long and ruined any produce we had. I have not received any communication from the owners asking about the drawer before they decided to blame it on us.
Everything anyone would want to make some memories!
Camp Westwood was what we have been looking for years and Mark and Debbie could have not been more helpful for us to enjoy it. There is more than enough of everything to keep our gang busy for the week.....we lacked nothing and even the weather worked for us, I don't know who they arranged that with! As soon as we get all our crew to decide on a good and available week we will return. Ron and Jacki
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!
