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.

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.
