Hotel at a Glance: 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 Tavern 1846 serves fresh honey salmon and locally sourced grass-fed beef burgers along with local wines and drafts. You can use your $10 dining credit (per stay) there.
• Share your pictures with friends and family via free WiFi network.
• Midday snack: Enjoy the views during a picnic lunch included with this deal.
• Great outdoors: You can explore the Green Mountains on a kayak or go fly fishing with the included $25 discount.

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. As one of the closest ski areas to New York and Boston, the resort gets a steady stream of out-of-towners. It doesn’t hurt that the resort has a reputation for outstanding mountain biking, hiking trails, scenic chair lift rides, kayaking and the Green Mountain Adventure Challenge. There is plenty of outdoor activities for all ages.
