Basin Harbor

Basin Harbor is a bit like stepping back in time. It is a charming resort full of old fashion touches. The location and grounds are beautiful and there are tons of activities for kids and grown ups. Many people seem to be regulars. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. The rooms and the lodge, however, could definitely use some renovations and upgrades. Everything feels dated and could use some sprucing up. The room was tiny and darkish. There was no TV. Shower barely gave a couple of minutes of hot water.

The cottage we had was dated but still perfect. View of the water, walking distance to pool. Dog friendly and very kid friendly. I recommend bringing your bikes.

This place is a little gem. A beautiful idyllic place with exceptional views of Lake Champlain and the sights of the kids swimming and diving into the lake is are memories to treasure; great water sports for all; good food; super service. The only slight negative is that the accommodation is mixed and can be a bit cramped. They claimed not to have been provided the full information by hotels.com/Expedia so we were put 4 in a room which was really only fit for 2/3 max. The hotel was basically full. Nonetheless, they did their best and moved us from room to room. We ended up in 3 different rooms in our 3 night stay and whilst this was far from ideal, they were helpful in assisting us move and accommodating our needs as best they could. We liked the Summit building best. Woodlea was also okay. Northway was really too small for us. BUT we really enjoyed our stay despite the hassles with the room.
