点评:When I read reviews like a couple of the recent "nasty" reviews, I'm certain that it's self-absorbed big city folks expecting preferential treatment and a ritz carlton vibe. C'mon!
I ski nearby Mt. Snow several times each season, but always as a day trip after an easy two hour drive up from Connecticut. This visit, my adult daughter and I decided to make it an overnight.
This classic inn is the real deal. It has excellent curb appeal, is rustic, has a creaky staircase, and is a tad threadbare in spots. It also has nicely appointed rooms, is quiet, is very clean, and is owned by a couple who is passionate about providing classic and charming room and board. They have a cozy room off the lobby that allows for indoor socializing; if you can't get enough of the outdoors, then go outdoors and light a fire in the firepit by the front door.
The tavern is open to the public for dinner, and open to overnight guests only for breakfast. We were a tad lucky and walked right in at 7pm and were immediately seated. We enjoyed a cocktail, a great caesar salad for her and clam chowder for me, and we shared the excruciatingly delicious short ribs entree. The flourless chocolate cake was perfectly prepared and presented. Service was prompt and friendly. Pro Tip: we didn't have oysters this visit, but there were no fewer than six varieties on the menu - the owner runs down to the Boston fishing pier three times a week to ensure their supply is ample and fresh. Sure enough, as promised, when I wandered downstairs the next morning, there was the owner who I enjoyed a cup of coffee with, and when my daughter joined us, personally prepared the best blueberry pancake breakfast one could imagine. What a great start to a busy day on the slopes.
You could pay more for a room in West Dover. You could stay closer to Mt. Snow (it's only a 3-minute drive to the base of the mountain). But you won't likely have a better, more authentic Vermont overnight experience than you will at the West Dover Inn. Highly recommended!

我每个季节都会在雪山附近滑雪几次,但每次都是从康涅狄格州开车两小时轻松抵达后作为一日游。这次访问,我和我成年的女儿决定过夜。
这家经典旅馆是货真价实的。它具有出色的外观吸引力,质朴,楼梯吱吱作响,而且有些地方有点破旧。它的房间布置精美,安静,非常干净,由一对热衷于提供经典而迷人的食宿的夫妇拥有。他们在大堂旁设有一间舒适的房间,可以进行室内社交活动。如果您在户外活动还不够,那就到户外去,在前门的火坑里生火。
小酒馆在晚餐时段向公众开放,仅在早餐时段向过夜的客人开放。我们很幸运,晚上 7 点就走进去并立即就座。我们享用了一杯鸡尾酒,为她准备了一份美味的凯撒沙拉,为我准备了蛤蜊浓汤,我们还分享了极其美味的小排骨主菜。无面粉巧克力蛋糕的准备和呈现都非常完美。服务迅速而友好。专业提示:这次我们没有吃牡蛎,但菜单上的牡蛎品种不少于六个 - 店主每周跑三次到波士顿钓鱼码头,以确保供应充足且新鲜。果不其然,第二天早上我漫步下楼的时候,就有老板和我一起喝了一杯咖啡,而当我的女儿加入我们的时候,还亲自准备了能想象到的最好吃的蓝莓煎饼早餐。这是在滑雪场忙碌的一天的美好开始。
您可以为西多佛尔的房间支付更多费用。你可以住得离雪山近一些(开车到山脚只要3分钟)。但您可能不会比在西多佛旅馆 (West Dover Inn) 获得更好、更正宗的佛蒙特州过夜体验。强烈推荐!
