Shoreham, Vermont is a small, charming farm town on the shores of Lake Champlain. This slice of Champlain Valley’s lush, rolling hills is true Vermont country living, with proximity to amenities and activities year-round. 

  

Shoreham is located on the western border of Vermont, in Addison County. Middlebury is one of Vermont’s largest towns outside Chittenden county, and is 20 minutes to the northeast. Ticonderoga, New York borders Shoreham to the west and is accessible by the charming cable ferry that carries passengers and up to cars across a half mile span of Lake Champlain. Burlington is a little over an hour north on scenic route 7, and Boston is 3.5 hours. 

  

Summer in the Champlain Valley is simply incredible. A local favorite is the Lemon Fair Sculpture Park, a free, outdoor sculpture park run by a local couple who maintain and update the park as new artists come in. Looking to explore one of Vermont’s most charming towns? Middlebury offers some fantastic shopping and events like the Middlebury Car Show. If you ask any Vermonter what the best part about summer is, many of them would say farmers markets. Fresh veggies, breads, and crafts from locals are on sale every Saturday at the Middlebury Farmers Market. Just a quick ferry ride across Lake Champlain, Ticonderoga is a fun spot to visit for the day and explore the Fort, which celebrates the colonial history and culture of the area. Apple picking is a quintessential fall activity in Vermont, and Champlain Orchards is a perfect place for the whole family to enjoy a crisp fall day. Winters in Shoreham are a great time to get out and explore the snowy landscape. Two of the state's best ski resorts, Killington and Sugarbush, are only an hour away over the Green Mountains and offer terrain for a variety of abilities and ages. Another great way to embrace winter is getting out on Lake Champlain to do some Ice Fishing.
