Picture a fire glowing indoors, the bay stretching beyond the windows, and a deck that invites you to stay for another cup of coffee. The Vermonter at Lakeshore Vermont Inn & Suites brings the comforts of home to the shores of Lake Champlain in Colchester, Vermont.

Panoramic windows fill this two-level suite with light, while the private loft offers a welcoming place to retreat with a book. Prepare breakfast or a favorite dinner in the fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances, then gather around the table with the water in view. On cooler evenings, settle beside the indoor gas fireplace; when the lake air calls, take your drinks out to the deck’s gas fire table.

Explore the full Lakeshore beachfront, paddle along Malletts Bay, or find a comfortable Adirondack chair by the water. With Bayside Park and the area’s bike paths nearby and downtown Burlington approximately 15 minutes away by car, there’s plenty to discover beyond the shoreline.

Give yourself time for both: the Vermont outings you’ve been looking forward to and the quieter hours that become the best part of a stay. Pets are welcome.
