About this property
Story Book Lake Front Chateau with Private Beach!
*Suitable for up to 4 adults & 2 children! Relax & unwind at this tranquil, century-old, lakefront compound. Soaring ceilings and old school charm with modern updates & eclectic mix of antique & new furnishings combine to offer a charming and comfortable oasis, while the 'million dollar' lake views will create memories to last a lifetime. Meander through two acres of pine-scented trails that weave around the property or take the canoe for a scenic paddle around the lake.

About the host
Hosted by Jamie Barthel
I'm a native of Woodstock, New York. I've been a host for seven years and love making inviting spaces for my guests to enjoy! My husband, Doug and I have three boisterous dogs, so we are especially happy to offer our property to other dog owners who don't want to sacrifice quality, just to bring their dogs on vacation with them. Our homes are dog friendly and dog approved!
Why they chose this property
We chose Winchester for its proximity to other towns and cities in NY, Mass, VT. We chose Forest Lake because its beautiful. We chose the property, itself, because it has an old school charm and character. The grounds are gorgeous and we love the forest buffer around the house.
What makes this property unique
We have one of the largest parcels of land on the lake, which gives our property a private, camp-like feel. Our one-hundred year old, Tudor styled home has a charm that won't be found in other properties.
