Hotel at a Glance: The West Dover Inn 

When it was built in 1846, West Dover Inn was a stagecoach stop where travelers could rest up their horses and get a good night’s sleep before continuing through Vermont’s Green Mountains. The inn has expanded since then to include nine additional guest rooms, but it still offers the same old-fashioned charm and hospitality. Guests can spend lazy afternoons sunning in an Adirondack chair on the porch or set out on hikes to explore the landscape.

• Old-fashioned guest rooms feature antique furnishings such as wooden sleigh beds and rocking chairs.
• The newly renovated 1846 Tavern & Restaurant serves fresh honey salmon and locally sourced grass-fed beef burgers along with local wines and drafts. You can use your $25 dining credit (per stay) there.
• Share your pictures with friends and family via free WiFi network.
• Start the day right with included daily breakfast.

West Dover, Vermont: Small Rural Town near Popular Ski Area

Tucked in the rural region of Vermont’s Mount Snow Valley, West Dover has a classic New England look complete with a prominent steeple and white clapboard houses. There’s not much to the town itself aside from a few landmark structures, however; the area owes its popularity to Mount Snow.

There’s plenty to do during warmer seasons at Mount Snow as well; hikers and mountain bikers can take advantage of more than 20 miles of trails through the mountain terrain. The mountain also has an 18-hole golf course and chairlift rides offering views of southern Vermont and New York State.
