This 700 acre resort offers spaciousness, a relaxing atmosphere and accommodations which reflect an enviable balance of diversity, refinement and comfort - a balance they've been perfecting for over one hundred years. 

In 1882, Ardelia Beach acquired the Basin Harbor farm consisting of 225 acres with a farmhouse and outbuildings. By 1886 the place had been remodeled so that a few guests could be entertained. In 1909, her nephew, Allen P. Beach, then a sophomore at the University of Vermont, came to work with her to assist in the operation of the Lodge. The Beach family still runs the resort today. 

For those who like to set a leisurely pace while they take in the beauty of the surrounding countryside, bicycle touring has become an increasingly popular pastime.  Or enjoy golf, the Basin Harbor Club Golf Course was awarded Golf Digest's Places to Play 4½ Star Rating in Spring 2000. The course is well manicured and quite demanding.

At Basin Harbor, guests are offered an array of sumptuous dining options. The cuisine is classic American, distinguished by its special attention to healthy recipes and fresh ingredients from local Vermont farms. The lakeside Main Dining Room serves breakfast and dinner daily. Sunday The casual Red Mill, open daily for lunch and dinner, features a lighter fare.

Above all else, Basin Harbor is a family resort. In fact, many families have such a deep connection to Basin Harbor that they have returned for five generations. Whether it’s an annual trip to a favorite cottage or a family reunion by the lake, everyone appreciates the relaxed atmosphere and varied activities.
