Time to play. Time to be still. Time to celebrate the good things in life.

basinharbor1

For over a century, guests have been coming to this Vermont lake resort to explore, recharge and reconnect with friends and family while savoring the timeless beauty of Lake Champlain. To this day, guests enjoy traditions, beautiful landscapes and authentic Vermont hospitality with their friends and families.

After just one visit, we all felt this was our new family tradition…BHC gets under your skin and stays with you long after you’ve left. Before leaving, we were already planning our next visit! 

“The timeless beauty of Lake Champlain works its magic, and the stresses of everyday life begin to dissolve.”

Time to sip your morning coffee on the front porch. Play a round of golf. Learn to sail. Organize a family tennis match. Have a spa treatment. Go for a swim. Dine in casual style. Read in an Adirondack chair overlooking the lake. Fill your day, or leave it wide open. Because when you’re here, the time is yours to keep. We call it “Active Tranquility”.

Some pictures of our family enjoying BHC…

Make yourself at home in one of the 385 guestrooms. Bathrooms have shower/tub combinations and hair dryers. Enjoy recreation amenities such as an outdoor pool or take in the view from a terrace. Additional features at this resort include complimentary wireless Internet access, concierge services, and gift shops/newsstands. We went in August and I loved waking up early to a chill in the crisp mountain air and watch the sun rise over the mountains, painting an unforgettable glow onto the lake. By midday, you were basking in the warm August sun…
