From the reviews
We have lodged at Shore Acres several times since the new ownership. Always skeptical whenever there is a change in ownership/management, we at first did not know what to expect. However, we weren't disappointed. Thus far, all of our expectations have been met.
Just had a wonderful 2 nights at Shore Acres, 3rd time staying there. Rooms are great and the location is superb. This year they added appetizers outside which we took advantage of and loved. The main restaurant is fantastic, would love it if they had outside dining other than Bravo Zulu which is okay pub food.
We love the view of Lake Champlain while we enjoy the best food. Our staff was very attentive and offered suggestions and explanations as requested. We had a larger party, but nothing was compromised due to the size.
Our server was Jen and she was fantastic! There is a beautiful view of Lake Champlain. The ambiance is great. We ordered the shrimp cocktail, bacon wrapped scallops, chilled asparagus and a caesar salad for appetizers. We ordered the duck breast and cod for our entrees. Both were exquisite.
Getting married at Shore Acres Inn & Restaurant
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
