Camp Penowee was originally a summer camp for Groton School and was purchased by the Headmaster (great grandfather) in 1906. The two original sleeping quarters remain for your enjoyment.

Why they chose this property

We decided to rent in 2011 when we moved away from NH and were not able to enjoy it every weekend.
