盆地海港飯店

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 an amazing honeymoon at Basin Harbor. Our visit was in mid May while they were just getting ready for the busy season. While not everything was open, it also meant the crowds were not there and it made our time very romantic. We had the heated pool and outdoor hot tubs to ourselves. A storm was coming and instead of canceling our boat excursion the staff found us and offered to take us earlier before the storm came. We got to see where the wrecks were and the pair of bald eagles were perched on trees waiting for us. The nest was huge and too high to see the babies. We didn’t have time to get our binoculars but the staff is amazing and found a pair. The staff went out of the way to make us feel welcome. Need something? Just ask and they will do their best to take care of you. The activities looked exciting for when they are fully staffed. Lots of options for food and we noticed they had activities for all ages. We were on our honeymoon and left the kids and grand kids at home. We felt so special and the warmth and caring staff made our experience the best ever.

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.

Basin Harbor never fails to exceed our expectations! We always have a magical time enjoying this secluded slice of paradise. We can’t wait to come back!

Basin Harbor always is wonderful - from the delicious breakfasts to tennis, golf, swimming, boat trips, sailfish and kayaks, their excellent Maritime Museum, and three dinner locations. And the Beach family owners are always there. Plus nearby the unique Shelburne Museum and Farm property. We come back every year.

Perfect family spot. Tons for kids to do. Classic New England lake setting. Great staff. Nice accommodations (not sure if all are renovated so be sure to ask). There are good but somewhat limited food options but there is enough to stay on property for 3-4 days.
