About this property

Rustic Updated Cozy Lake House! Close to skiing!

Welcome to The Woods at Windsor, a serene retreat set on over 225 acres of beautiful woodland in southern New Hampshire. Once a youth camp (currently not in operation), the property has been thoughtfully transformed into a peaceful getaway offering spacious single-family homes—perfect for family vacations, multi-family gatherings, or reunions.
Nestled beside a semi-private lake and surrounded by miles of scenic trails being reestablished, it’s the ideal destination for both relaxation and outdoor adventure. A golf cart is available from summer through early October for easy access around the property.
The Woods at Windsor features five homes available for rent. Whether you’re planning a family reunion, company retreat, or group getaway, you can rent multiple houses to stay close together while still enjoying your own private space.
With new improvements added each year, there’s always something fresh to experience. This year’s highlight: brand-new pickleball courts!

This cozy home features 2 bedrooms and two bathrooms:
• Bedroom 1: A full bed and a twin bed
• Bedroom 2: Twin over Full bunk bed
• Basement: Twin over Twin bunk bed

Downstairs, the basement playroom offers fun for all ages with a pool table and darts.
The home includes a private parking area, tucked away in a peaceful wooded setting with ample parking for family and friends.

White Pond Lake
Guests also enjoy exclusive access to White Pond Lake, featuring 150 feet of beach frontage reserved for camp guests only.

At the boathouse, you’ll find life jackets (various sizes), beach chairs, zero-gravity loungers, paddles, and more.
Please kindly return all items to their original place after use — we truly appreciate your cooperation.

The Best time!

Only an hour and twenty minutes from home. We ranged in ages from 3-82. We would definitely vacation there again. Our only problem was our golf cart quit on us halfway up a hill. We had someone there in maybe 10 minutes and helped us out. Very friendly got us a new cart in minutes and we were on our way. The beach was great. A bit rocky but good. Lots of things to use. Kayaking,canoeing and paddle boarding just to name a few. My one only little complaint would be our sliding bathroom door. No lock. We had a very nosy 3 year old!! We really enjoyed our stay and wished we booked for longer.

Love it!

This is our second stay at The Woods at Windsor. We stayed at a different property last time. Both were excellent stays! The property was extremely clean and we had everything we needed. This property does have a spiral staircase. This would not be ideal for anyone with mobility issues, small choldren or elderly to get down to the basement.

Great layout and amenities

Nice layout for a vacation home. Primary bedroom on the main floor with one queen and one twin bed. Full bath immediately across the hall. Kitchen, dining, and a TV space all in an open great room on the same floor. Then, down a spiral staircase, there is another TV space, a pool table, and darts, plus two bedrooms (each with bunk beds) and a 3/4 bathroom. I can easily imagine parents staying on the main floor with a bunch of preteens or teens in the basement area. Two or three adult couples could also enjoy the layout, depending on how much the bunk beds concern you. I'm unsure whether the layout would work for parents with tiny kids. It would depend on how you feel about the spiral staircase. Well-equipped kitchen (plenty of plates, bowls, glasses, cups, mugs, utensils, and pots/pans). Thoughtful travel-sized amenities in the bathrooms (soaps, shave kit, toothbrush/paste, etc.) Good lighting in the whole house. Easy to use the whole-house heating system and A/C window units.

A short getaway

The house was very clean and had everything a normal group would need. I was feeding myself and 6 pretty grown men (my husband, 2 sons and 3 of their friends - all over 18) so I packed some larger pots and pans as I knew my cooking portions were going to be rather large. We had lots of fun! Everyone enjoyed the golf cart, fishing, kayaking, playing pool, cooking on the grill, playing games, jogging around the camp and watching movies. We had an issue with our golf cart that was immediately taken care of.
