Basin Harbor Resort
Our venue is a historic resort in the heart of the Green Mountains on Lake Champlain. We encourage all of our loved ones (you!!) to stay on-site at Basin Harbor. This will allow you to enjoy the weekend on the lake and stay off windy Vermont roads after the celebrations. Guests will have the option of staying in one of the 74 unique cottages on the resort property or the historic Main Lodge. Cottages range in size from studio to three-bedrooms and are pet friendly! Room rates on our block are as follows, with a required two-night minimum stay: Main Lodge: $249/night Studio cottage: $289/night 1-bedroom cottage: $369/night 2-bedroom cottage: $659/night 3-bedroom cottage: $839/night The block rates include breakfast, which will be served each morning at the Main Lodge.

Train
AmTrak
There is an Amtrak train connecting New York City to Burlington VT. It takes 7+ hours. There is only one guest who will take it. We would like to use this space to formally apologize to his poor wife, who he will inevitably drag along with him. Katie, we're sorry.
