About the employer
Basin Harbor is a family-run resort with 139 years of hospitality behind it, set on 700 acres of lakefront property on Lake Champlain in Vergennes, Vermont, between the Green Mountains and the Adirondacks.
The idea here is to work hard and play hard. Housing is affordable with no housing deposit, and if you complete your agreed term of work you get a rebate of $10 for every paid week of housing. Staff are invited to share the sports on offer – swimming, tennis, golf, cycling, hiking, yoga and more – and shuttles run to local events, shopping and attractions. Montreal, Boston, New York City and Niagara Falls are all within reach. Pack layers, as the weather varies.

- Hike the Green Mountains or bike Vermont’s famous country roads
- Visit Burlington (about 45 minutes away) for concerts, nightlife, and shopping
- Take weekend trips to Montreal, Boston, or New York City
