About Shore Acres

Tucked away on forty-six acres of rolling grounds that meet the calming shore of Lake Champlain, our North Hero, Vermont inn, restaurant, and lakeside bar welcome you from April through October. This quiet, dog-friendly getaway offers half a mile of private shoreline—perfect for soaking in lake views, catching sunrises, and unwinding in the fresh Vermont air. With plenty of space to relax and explore, Shore Acres Inn and Restaurant is the kind of place where you can slow down, take in the simple beauty of the lake, and watch Purple Martins soar.

Our party of four had the pan fried skate wing, Braised Beef Bourguignon, Grilled Pork Flat Iron, Duck breast.  Everyone was happy with their meal.  The skate was perfectly cooked which I enjoyed with a glass of Sancerre.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had dinner (did not stay at Inn). Best dinner in quite a while! Everything was perfect and I'm a highly critical food curmudgeon. Mussels were perfectly cooked, delicious well balanced sauce of wine lemon garlic thyme. Same for halibut, perfectly cooked, wonderful sauce. The bread at the start was amazing, a litmus test. Service was both friendly and professional, a difficult balancing act. And view was gorgeous and very comfortable atmosphere. Will return as often as I can get a reservation! Cannot think of a single thing that wasn't spot on and delicious.

Wonderful place.
Shore Acres was recommended by a friend. We had a great experience there. The view was amazing. The food was excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We also ate at the waterfront restaurant as well. Cool place and good pub food. The room was not remarkable but clean and well appointed. You can’t beat the view out the window. Lots to do in the area. We did the causeway bike trail.
