“Had a great stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Just stayed at Shore Acres last week during a fishing trip to the area. I had a single queen room which was exceptionally clean, well appointed and with plenty of space. The bed was reasonably comfortable and the room was bright, well lit and generally very nice. This is not a big fancy five star resort but a very appropriate facility for that area and fits in with the surroundings. The grounds and facilities were also very clean, well kept and had a nice atmosphere. The views of the lake were terrific. The restaurant also had a nice atmosphere, was comfortable and accommodating for folks wearing jacket and ties or casual dress. The view of the lake was very nice as the lakeside wall is all glass. The menu had some great choices for appetizers, entree's and deserts which made for some tough decisions. The food was very good and reasonably priced. No fault of the restaurant but my only gripe with the area is that for the earlybird fishermen there is not a place on the islands that we could find for early breakfast. Shore Acres does provide what sounded like a very nice continental breakfast but not at the early hours we needed, again no fault of Shore Acres. I travel a good bit for work so I can be rather fussy on where I stay but I totally enjoyed staying at Shore Acres and would highly recommend it.

“Disappointing food and service”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 October 2011

We stopped here on our way back from Montreal. We had read about the inn in Vermont Life and were looking forward to eating in the restaurant. Our room was rather simple for the price and not a place to spend a rainy afternoon. The staff was very cool and there was no real public place to sit. We were most disappointed by the restaurant where the food was nothing like the magazine and we were rushed through our dinner so they could close early. It had a very nice property, but we couldn't enjoy it because of the weather.

“Wonderful weekend getaway!”

My husband, kids and I recently spent the weekend at Shore Acres Inn. We were there with members of his extended family to celebrate his grandmother's 80th birthday. First of all, the view was breathtaking. The weather was perfect and we spent all day Saturday outside on the vast lawn, sitting in the Adirondack chairs, playing shuffleboard and taking turns on the boat my husband's aunt had rented for the day, hoping to catch a glimpse of Champy:). My kids had a blast playing on the playground with the ark. The Continental breakfast (included) was good, offering a variety of cereals, bagels and fresh-baked breads, yogurt, coffee and orange juice, and several other things. The owners were very attentive and when my husband asked for decaf they ran right off to brew a pot and brought it out to us. They also catered a luncheon for us and it was delicious as well. The staff was super friendly and happy to help when needed. Our room was spacious and really clean. The one downside was the lack of other dining options in the area, but we were able to find a diner on Friday evening, about 20 minutes away, that was great.

All in all, we had nothing to complain about, except the long drive to get there from
Baltimore:). But I would gladly do it again should the opportunityt arise!

Room Tip: Definitely spring for the room with the lake view!

“We found a gem!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 September 2011 via mobile

person found this review helpful

My husband and I were looking for an overnight spot between ogunquit Maine and Toronto .
We just happened to drive by and loved everything we saw.
The rooms are large, clean and comfortable.
The owners are sociable and hard working.
The dining room has large windows overlooking lake champlain.
There are flowers ( from their garden) and candles on every table. Details like terra cotta rabbits are placed all over the 50 acres.
On this visit, pumpkins dot the property.
The food is excellent. I heard the same chef has worked here for many years(15??). Always a good sign.
My only complaint is that it is so popular, you can't reserve a room on Friday or Saturday unless you have made reservations well in advance.
All these great reviews will make it even more popular!!
In all our travels, this is the best family run place that we have found.
