Weathervane Lodge — Hotel in Dover

"Best. Hotel. Ever." Or so said my 4 year old granddaughter after her first night at The Weathervane. Terry and Ken, our hosts, were amazing and patient with the 4 year old and the 9 year old and completely helpful with everything we needed. ||||The Lodge is lovely - homey, set on magnificent grounds, comfortable and did I mention that the breakfast is delicious? Besides our rooms with en suite baths, there were common areas to enjoy - We ate breakfast in the lovely dining area, enjoyed the lounge where the girls played with a WII and saw a movie and gobbled down their peanut butter and jelly sandwiches while having a conversation with another guest. The Weathervane is friendly - it seems to attract people who in winter love to ski, but in summer, the wonders of Vermont are all around - swimming, hiking, breathing the crystal clear air. The town of Dover was charming, especially the book adorned with local art, cozy areas to check out a book and rub elbows with the locals. Local eateries are nearby where we enjoyed some very child friendly options. ||||All in all, I would highly recommend a stay at the Weathervane. It works for couples, singles, families with kids - everyone would emerge more rested and happier. I could totally see it for family reunions, a very small wedding, a special birthday party - lots of possibilities! As my granddaughter said, "Best....

We came to Vermont to do the Green Mountain Adventure Challenge with our school-aged daughter and baby. This place was very comfortable and cozy-it felt like an extension of home! There was more than enough space, our room was clean and had everything we needed and the owners were very friendly and accommodating. Terry (one of the owners) is a great cook- we were only there for two days but some of the items featured at breakfast were sweet potato/chocolate chip pancakes and a chorizo sausage and egg scramble. There is a lounge downstairs with family board games, comfy seats to watch movies and a beautiful out door area where adults can relax. Really can't say enough...

The title is based on an exclamation overheard at breakfast by a 5 year old child leaving the Weathervane Lodge recently. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this charming Vermont mountain inn. We enjoyed the modern conveniences, internet, Direct TV, as well as the game room and huge big screen TV for March Madness.||||Breakfasts were professionally presented and included chocolate chip sweet potato pancakes, that make a return trip a must. Can;t wait to visit in the summer and take advantage of all the things to do around West Dover...
