We are proud to be a Vermont Pet Friendly Hotel. Well-behaved pets are welcome in cottage accommodations only, for an additional charge per day, per pet. It is understood that owners are responsible for any damage their pets may cause. Dogs must be kept leashed at all times and away from the pool and waterfront areas. We expect that owners will "pick up" after their dogs.

Check-In: 4:00 p.m. Check Out: 11:00 a.m. Late Checkouts may result in additional charges.

There is a 9 percent Vermont State rooms and meals tax added to all room rates. A 18 percent service fee will be added to Full and Modified American Plan rates, and all beverage and food checks in lieu of gratuities for the dining and housekeeping staff. A 5 percent service fee will be added to Bed and Breakfast rates. Please note that service fees have not been arranged for the Bell Staff, Concierge, Recreation, Waterfront and Golf Staff.

One of Basin Harbor’s enduring traditions is that gentlemen over the age of 12 are required to wear a coat and tie after 6 p.m. throughout the Main Dining Room during July and August. In the spring and fall, a jacket and collared shirt are required for the Main Dining Room. Women should dress accordingly. During the rest of the day, casual attire is appropriate for the resort.
