A really beautiful venue we attended for a wedding. The grounds are truly beautiful and manicured, and every staff member was top shelf! Everyone we met who attended gave nice reviews for their accommodations and we viewed some that were very, very nice. We lost out, sadly. That said, our unit was an absolute disaster! I replied to Basin Harbor's post-stay survey but have had no response. I normally give rave reviews to places we've stayed around the world; BUT, our unit at $330+ per night after taxes was horrible. We stayed, in basically an upstairs attic space with no refrigerator, no coffee maker (they were in the hall outside the room to be shared and the coffee maker didn't even work!) There was no TV which was ok in a rustic place but not even 2 seats to sit for us both in the unit. The attic ceilings were so low, I continually hit my head and literally had to kneel(!) to see my reflection in the bathroom mirror to shave our comb my hair. I have pictures if you don't believe it. The shortage of convenient electical outlets in this attic space that really should only be rented to a single person who doesn't mind all of these inconveniences and at a much lower rate. Truly overpriced for this unit. We were there for a wedding and my wife could not see her reflection either in the tiny mirror to prepare. We did not complain since this was a celebratory event and we were sure to tip all of the wonderful staff; BUT feel like we really got mistreated even though we booked with very ample time for this event. If you go to Basin Harbor, do NOT accept accommodations listed as Penfield Place, particularly the 2nd Floor which we had no warning of. Had a wonderful weekend for this event but the absolute worst accommodations.

Happy to leave a very positive review for Basin Harbor (though I am not one to leave reviews). Our cabin was comfortable and clean. The staff was remarkably friendly. The grounds were beautiful. The views of the lake were amazing. We left North Carolina to get out of the heat and take in some beauty. We got both. Highly recommend.

Very nice grounds, Lakeside Adirondack chairs, and friendly staff abound. Lots of facilities to enjoy and Harbor toys. Ample breakfast buffet. Our hotel room had a lovely balcony overlooking the harbor Made it extra special. The $35 boat tour was a well worth the outing.

We, as a senior couple, enjoyed Basin Harbor. For those with young children, it would be even better. A few glitches in service but the vast majority of staff are friendly and eager to help. Eating here is expensive and they would be well served by a few more options, particularly for breakfast.

Fabulous all inclusive resort. Beautiful countryside golf course, small yacht harbor, beach, grass strip airport, maritime museum, numerous restaurant choices and a full range of activities for children of all ages
