Why the Owner Chose West Dover
Mt. Snow is a great mountain which offers many things to do throughout the year. Along with new owners attempting to take this mountain to the next level it never loses track as a real Vermont down-to-earth feeling about it... and extends throughout the Deerfield Valley. You won't see fast food chains here nor big box stores, only local retail establishments all with their unique way to show you their wares and make you feel comfortable. You do develop friends in time here. Getting away from Rye Brook, in Westchester County and head up for a weekend takes us from 3-3:30 hours (180 miles)goes by quite quickly. Many times we stop along the way and find plenty of things to do and see, especially with the different routes we take on getting up here. It certainly keeps one's interest upbeat as we have been regularly driving up for over 15 years. The location is ideal. You can reach the Berkshire's to the south, the Killington area to the north, the Lake George region and Saratoga Springs to the west, and the Connecticut River and deep into New Hampshire to the east all within a 90 minutes. There seems to be just the right drivng balance.
The Unique Benefits of this House
Many varieties of restaurants, pub like spots with plenty of laughter and live music, all kinds of trails to hike, bike and ski, craft fairs, a variety of food fests coupled with two wine and three beer fests...and everything in between can keep you quite busy all within minutes of mour house or you can simply sit back and just enjoy what Mother Nature has to offer with our wonderful views, the sounds of a running river and the smell of pine. even vegetating on the comfy sectional watching TV, reading a book or putting together one of our 1,000 piece puzzles, all with the views of the mountain in the background gives you a relaxed feeling inside. I guess they call this an ideal LOCATION!!!
