Snow is on it’s way and you should be too!

Dear Friends and Guests, 

As the temperatures drop and snow begins to blanket the Vermont landscape, we at Lakeshore Vermont are embracing the beauty and tranquility of winter on Lake Champlain. While summer is a favorite for many, winter transforms the lakefront into a serene and magical retreat. 

Winter Activities

Although the lake freezes over, there’s no shortage of adventure and relaxation: 

  • Ice Fishing: Bring your gear or rent from the local outfitter and try your luck catching perch, northern pike or trout.
  • Skating and Ice Sports: When the conditions are right, the lake’s frozen expanse offers a natural skating rink like no other.
  • Local Skiing and Snowboarding: We’re just a short drive to Vermont’s renowned ski resorts, including Bolton Valley, Stowe, and Smugglers’ Notch. 
  • Day Visit to Snowflake Bentley Gallery. Jericho Historical Society, Jericho VT
  • Spa Services: Indulge in spa treatments designed to rejuvenate and relax. We suggest checking out:
    • Homebody: 37 College St in Burlington
