Basin Harbor Club Review

This is one of Vermont's best rustic resorts in which to kick back and simply enjoy lake breezes and lovely scenery. The best units are cottages facing out onto Champlain from clifftop perches; they feel wonderfully isolated, yet many sport carpets, fireplaces, comfy beds, work desks, sofas, and Jacuzzis. You won't find televisions, so borrow or rent bikes, kayaks, canoes, or a speedboat; hit the golf course; and grab a tennis racquet (lessons available). Art classes, lectures, great gardens, Adirondack-style chairs, three good restaurant choices on the dining plan, and an excellent kids' program complete the sense of having stepped into an upscale summer camp. Summertime bonus: Thursday nights bring lobster dinners and live jazz to the beach.

Facilities:
3 restaurants; outdoor pool; golf course; 5 tennis courts; fitness center; bike rentals; children's programs; concierge; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; boat rentals

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
