Stayed here for two weeknights mid-ish August 2026. Service was really great. Very professional and courteous. The rooms were nice enough. Ours was pretty spacious with a balcony with not much of a view (guess that is what you get for only $400/night). Pretty pricey during summer time. That said, the setting and grounds are spectacular. As they stress, a very traditional NE summer resort. We did not eat there at all and didn't partake of much of the entertainment they had to offer, but my daughters loved the ambiance, the historical buildings, the sunsets, and scenery. While we didn't partake of much of the entertainment, we could see it all around us. Regret is not spending enough time here (we treated it more like a hotel than a resort).

The resort was very well taken care of. Everyone was so friendly and there was so much to do there. They had a great area set up for the kids and staff to provide for the kids activities. We saw them fishing and then out to dinner which I think is awesome if parents want to get away for a bit and just relax or go to dinner. It was great options to choose from for what you wanted for your meals. The harbor store carries ice cream which is so delicious. We had to have it everyday. The scenery was so magical and we enjoyed our relaxation there. Next year we hope to bring our extended family to enjoy this magical place.

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.

Historical location. Plenty of things to do at location. Enjoyed our stay.

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 in 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. 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.

Our basin harbour stay was amazing. The staff were so great and attentive. The grounds and accomodation is stunning. It was clean and beautifully presented. The breakfast is also amazing. We absolutely loved our stay and would definitely stay again.

Place was old. Paid for the stand alone two bedroom cottage with an fireplace and we lit a fire. Room filled with smoke, they moved us to a nicer place but it was just a different stay. Off the grid almost out in the middle of nowhere. Thin walls, single door handle locked rooms. Just not what we are used too. For the price I would not stay here again

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