My husband had the cod with a beautiful creamy preparation, and he loved every bite. I had the Caesar salad with salmon, and it was fresh, perfectly prepared, and absolutely delicious.

A huge compliment to the chef — the food was outstanding. The service was just as impressive: warm, attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming.

Shore Acres continues to be such a special place, with wonderful food, incredible service, and that beautiful North Hero setting. We had a fantastic evening and will absolutely be back.

Highly recommend!

From the location and views of the lake, to the impeccable rooms, to the amazing food and outstanding service, it was the most amazing experience from start to finish. Meredith was our wedding coordinator and she was the absolute best! She took all of the stress away from us and made it such an enjoyable experience. Spending the weekend at Shore Acres was a dream and I would highly recommend them for dinners, weekend getaways and weddings in a heart beat! Thank you Shore Acres! You have the most wonderful team!

If you are looking for an intimate venue for 70 people or less where everyone can stay on site and have a whole wedding weekend experience - then I can’t recommend Shore Acres enough. The location is absolutely beautiful on the edge of lake Champlain with the green mountains in the background. It was so lovely to look out our balcony and watch our guests enjoying swimming in the lake and kayaking the morning of the wedding.

A huge perk of SA is that you can hold the reception in their restaurant and have their amazing food. We had multiple guests tell us that this was the best food at a wedding they had ever had!

The staff were so helpful and accommodating and a pleasure to work with. We had a few hiccups in the early stages of planning with their former events manager, but as soon as Meredith came on board everything went smoothly. Meredith is amazing!! She was so on top of things, proactive to deal with any potential hiccups, and made our wedding day run so perfectly by doing everything from delivering my wedding bouquet when it went missing, prepping our wedding party for their speeches, fielding a million questions from my aunt who was making our wedding cake, and running our wedding playlist timing.

Months later our guests are still telling us what an amazing wedding it was and we have quite a few friends who are considering it for their own wedding venue!

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.
