Basin Harbor

We have more than just a green thumb. Basin Harbor Club is actively engaged in reducing our carbon footprint. The Golf Course at Basin Harbor Club is the first Vermont course to became a member of the prestigious Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program. When the Audubon Society grew their program to include resort grounds, we enrolled the entire property. The program now includes site assessment and environmental planning, wildlife and habitat management, water and resource management, outreach and education. We are also a proud member of Green Hotels in the Green Mountain State. The Green Hotel designation reflects a commitment to pollution prevention and exemplary environmental stewardship through the development of an environmental plan. Fourth Generation Host, Bob Beach Jr., has frequently described the family's legacy as having been stewards of the land since 1803. We are dedicated to preserving our 700 acres of tranquility and reducing the carbon footprint on a local and global level. Our conservation efforts include but are not limited to: Composting all food waste, saving 60,000 tons from landfills and creating a welcome supplement for the resort's gardens.
