A week in Lake Winnepesaukee
A step back in time staying at “camp” on the big lake - just as we did in the early 60’s. We hiked all day, watched sunsets in the evening, ate dinner then fell into bed, exhausted from our activities!

Great Stay for Hiking and Leaf Watching
We had a great stay at the Sleeper Camp. When we arrived - everything was as described, and Harry provided a detailed email up-front with directions and instructions. The camp is in a great location, while also secluded. We enjoyed nights by the wood stove playing Yahtzee and enjoying the view. Thank you for a wonderful stay!!
