3-star hotels in Dover
This shortlist covers the 3-star hotels in Dover, Vermont, for couples, families and groups who want comfortable rooms without paying for luxury, whether they are visiting Mount Snow or exploring the Deerfield Valley.
Staying in Dover
Dover is a small town in southern Vermont's Deerfield Valley, best known as the base for Mount Snow and for outdoor recreation across the seasons: skiing and riding in winter, and hiking, golf, fishing and canoeing in warmer months. The town is rural and spread out along Route 100, so a car is useful for getting between lodges, restaurants and trailheads.
The listed hotels reflect that layout. Most sit along Route 100 or Vermont Route 100 in West Dover: The Inn at Mount Snow (401 Route 100), Deerfield Valley Inn (120 Vermont Rte 100), West Dover Inn (108 Rte 100), Gray Ghost Inn (290 Vt 100 West Dover), Layla's Riverside Lodge (145 Vt 100 West Dover), Big Bears Lodge (344 Route 100) and Doveberry Inn (284 Vermont 100). Others are on side roads or at the mountain: Deerhill Inn (14 Valley View Rd), Farm Road Estate (7 Cross Town Rd), Mount Snow Lodging by Vail Resorts and Mount Snow Condominiums (both 89 Grand Summit Way), Snow Lake Lodge (7 Snow Lake Rd West Dover), The Seasons H23 (4 Trailside Village Way #G) and Primely Located Dover Escape 1 Mi to Mt Snow (38D N Access Rd). The mix suits couples on a short break, families who want pools, kitchens or family rooms, and groups who want to be close to the slopes.
