Basin Harbor

What a pleasant surprise. We needed a place to stay around Lake Champlain at the last minute and found a deal here. Wow. Two restaurants, a large lakefront, historic buildings, and tons of activities. We wished we had reserved two nights!

Everything was great.

We have returned over and over again to Basin Harbor; this time for one night to celebrate our anniversary. Think of it as a "Dirty Dancing" type resort. The grounds are beautiful and they have all that you could want as far as available exercise activities: large pool, tennis and pickelball courts, well-equiped exercise facility, great lake swimming facilities, kayaks, fishing, boats of all kinds, and golf. We played golf both days we were there and the course was in great shape.

Very expensive resort hotel with not many room amenities. This place was one of the most expensive, definitely out in the boonies hotel we stayed at during our long road trip. We were looking for a place to stay and it was later in the evening, and this was one of the only options in the area. The staff was very friendly, but we did not use any of the outdoor activities. We stayed in the main lodge and even though our room had a living room area, we were surprised to find NO Television in the room! The only TV was in a public space. The bathroom had one small shelf to put your toiletries, which was very inconvenient, and I could not find a hair dryer. The shower was one of the small capsule style like in Europe, so no elbow room. The room definitely could use some upgrades because it is showing its age with no modern conveniences like extra outlets to charge your devices. We did go down to their Red Mill restaurant and the staff was very accommodating to get us seated near a TV for the NFL game. We also liked the snack bar downstairs the next morning & got a yummy fresh croissant & cappuccino for breakfast.

Celebrating special occasions is always memorable, but celebrating at Basin Harbor ramps it up a notch. This year, my husband and I celebrated our five year wedding anniversary in a stunningly cozy 1-bedroom cottage with a magnificent water view. When we first walked into our cottage, we were met with an incredibly thoughtful card and a beautiful bottle of wine, wishing us a Happy Anniversary. Sitting outside on our deck listening to waves lap against the cliffs was pure magic! We dined at the Red Mill, which blew us away with an absolutely delicious vegan "steak" entree, which was 10/10, one of the best meals I've ever had! The view from our deck was stunning as the sun set, and we lit a fire in the stone fireplace before turning in for the night. We can't wait to celebrate again next year - thank you, Basin Harbor!

Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Room was small but fit our needs.

Surprisingly a very nice upscale resort that the photos in Expedia did not do justice. Awesome accommodations and good dining options which can be rare in remote areas of VT

I did not get the room I booked. Room was not deluxe, twin beds instead of queen

Clean comfortable room. Amazing Staff! Lots of amenities! Beautiful location!!

I can't say enough good things about Basin Harbor and the staff. They are incredible. The facilities are great, the activities around the resort are numerous and the food is outstanding. We have held our company golf tournament here for the past 2 years (inaugural event in 2024) and they exceeded our expectations. Will has been exceptional with lodging and Jason at the clubhouse/pro shop is outstanding and will keep us coming back every year.

The golf course left a lot to be desired. It was not well maintained and not a very hospitable staff. We were very disappointed.
