Basin Harbor

This is a review of their sushi restaurant. We are local and had considered the sushi restaurant to be excellent and worth the resort high price. Today we had dinner and it was terrible. I give it a D. I know Sushi. From a great sushi restaurant to a less than average. Not at all worth the price.

The resort is cute, seems like a throwback to the 1950s. Lots of activities to do - we went to the pool, went sailing, went on a shipwreck boat tour, played tennis, played frisbee golf, and did other activities. We also rented a golf cart to use around the property. Food was very good. Really enjoyed the dockside dinners (did 2). Breakfast at Ardelia’s was plentiful and solid. Red Mill was a good, casual restaurant. Ardelia’s had great service. 2 things that were not good: (1) WiFi was terrible. Basically could only get it in the main lodge, and even then it wasn’t great. (2) Our cottage was run-down. For the $1,000+ price per night (2 bedroom cottage), I expected a much nicer cottage. We originally were assigned a different cottage and it was in the same condition.

We stayed at Summit, a newer building. Much nicer than the older cottages. Waterside was beautiful, boat ride around the lake was a gem

If you are looking for a traditional eastern resort experience, Basin Harbor is it. The rooms/houses are older, but well maintained. BHC offers just about every activity you can think of: golf, pickelball, boating, fishing, water sports, hiking - the list goes on and on. The staff is excellent - friendly and helpful. The food is great - made to order omelets for breakfast, pizza, sushi or burgers for lunch and elegant, but not stuffy, dinners at Ardelia's. Do not miss the lobster dinner on Thursday down at the North Dock.

We had our wedding reception at Basin Harbor and multiple friends and family (approximately 80 individuals) stayed at BH for the festivities. First, the guest rooms and cottages were above anything that we could have hoped for - clean, comfortable and offering up great views of Lake Champlain. The staff who helped orchestrate our wedding were incredibly helpful and offered wonderful suggestions and were on scene to assist in every way possible. The food was fabulous and every detail was perfectly executed. We loved our time at Basin Harbor!

Had a great couple of nights, the property is great and has a lot to offer, we will definitely be back!

It had a rustic charm. We expected a few amenities for the price. The staff was very gracious.

Basin Harbor was a perfect place for a Fathers Day family vacation. We were able to get a 3BR/3Bath cottage with a pull out couch in the living room. Big enough for 7 adults with two grandchildren on a cot or in a crib. It was unusually hot for VT in June so the pool and lake were popular for swimming. Ice cream and an air conditioned cottage were popular too. We had lakeside buffet dinners on Sunday and Tuesday. Both were great. We chose the bed and breakfast option for the morning g meal. The Red Mill was good for lunch with a playground and airplanes arriving and departing.

We had a truly wonderful stay here with the family. So much to do in such a beautiful setting, and everyone on staff was so lovely!

Great resort. It has it all, golf, a marina, areas to walk. Staff goes above and beyond, especially Stacy.
