My boyfriend and I had an eventful few nights at The Hermitage Inn -- we bought a LivingSocial deal and used it towards a 3-night stay in March. We stayed in the Brook House and its king size bed, fireplace, and beautiful bathroom were more than we could have asked for! The room was decorated as a modern lodge and... More

We booked The Hermitage after purchasing a Living Social deal. The ride up from NY was very pretty and fairly easy. We stayed in the Main Inn which was done very nicely. Pub and restaurant downstairs. You look right onto the ski mountain and the staff is very nice. When we booked we had requested no to stay in the... More

This place is amazing. Great restaurant, awesome staff, and its own private mountain. Really nice atmosphere. We enjoyed a beautiful rustic roomed, titled "The Birches", with a cool wood framed bed and fireplace. The hot tub was really nice too.

We stayed here because of a Living Social deal we bought. It was the best purchase we made! The Inn is super cute. There is a main inn, then a few other buildings that house 3 or 4 rooms each. We stayed in the Barnside room (in the Carriage House) and LOVED it. Our view was of the beautiful horses... More

I've been to dinner at the Hermitage Inn in Dover, Vermont several times in the past but this was one of the most memorable. The chicken, andouille and shrimp gumbo was spicy and excellent in a rich broth. The seafood stew contained lots of fresh fish in a light saffron tomato broth all served over homemade fettucini. The saffron garlic... More

Some folks aren't going to like the crowds that have migrated and constantly return to the Hermitage. In time the Hermitage will return to a be the quaint Inn that it is. I have to disagree with Vermontskichick2013, but I understand her feelings because it has been very busy and the staff have been running around trying to keep up.... More

Unless you "belong" to the Hermitage Club you are clearly snubbed. Either that OR waitstaff cannot handle more than 1 party at a time. Poor bartenders. Heaven forbid you actually have to make conversation and look like you are interested when you clearly cannot handle more than 1 drink order at a time. I would think Jim (the owner) being... More

This is our second trip to the Hermitage and the second was just as fantastic as our first. The room is incredible - beautifully decorated, clean and the best of everything. The food and service were outstanding. We went the first week after the 2 weeks of school vacation. You could tell that the staff was recovering from the busiest... More

Our house at Mt Snow was being used by friends and we suggested that the non skiers go down the road and eat lunch at the Hermitage. When asked how they had liked it, they told me that the staff was rude, they had been waiting to be seated and 5 parties just went around them, they got no apology... More
