Basin Harbor

The overall trip was great in terms of activities but the problem was with the meal plan as part of our party had a meal plan and others did not. Upon check out the hotel refused to apply the meal plan for multiple meals thereby overcharging us (eg charging us both for the meal plan and for the dinners).

This lovely resort is a national treasure. A trip to the past but with modern updates. We were lucky to stay in the Woodland Cottage directly on the lake. Mini kitchen, a bedroom with a king bed and the sleeper sofa in the separate living room had plenty of room for the 4 of us. Small balcony w/2 chairs made for great lake viewing with the Adirondak mtns backdrop. There's lots to do for the kids. They loved the "iceberg" in the swinnimng area with its waterslides and high jumps as well as the trampoline. Scenic swimming bay with its many lounge chairs, bar and food truck/tables overlooking the boat harbor was lovely for us non active types. Our dinner at the casual Red Mill was great. Lovely antique boathouse decor plus the kids could play on the playground until the food was ready. Someday I'll have to return to try out the fancier restaurant in the main lodge or the once a week dinner on the pier. If you're there on July 3rd they put on a great fireworks show. Very friendly, helpful staff.

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.
