If you’re looking for the perfect family winter getaway, check out The Hermitage Club at Haystack Mountain, Vermont’s only private mountain resort that includes The Hermitage Inn, a 4-diamond inn, ski lessons on demand, racing instruction/coaching, an airport one mile away, an award winning gold course, and four season activities.
Founded by successful entrepreneur Jim Barnes who has built two companies with combined revenues of $1 billion and has a passion for winter sports, quality and first-class customer service, The Hermitage Club is re-inventing the standard of private ski communities with its unique assets and value. It is an exclusive place where families don’t need to fight long lift lines or worry about their children on crowded slopes and they can be surrounded by staff members who know members names and children’s favorite foods. The community was built with every detail in mind, including preserving wildlife habitats, providing teens with an editing studio in the new 80,000-square-foot lodge/club house where they can edit their daily Go-Pro videos and view them on a full size movie screen, a state-of-the-art fitness center and spa, dine dining, day care, a ski valet, and breathtaking 360-gree views. The clubhouse is expected to be finished by the 2014-2014 season.
The Hermitage Club is a 1000-acre enclave in West Dover and Wilmington that provides members with four seasons of private mountain activities, including snowmobiling, snow tubing, cross-country skiing, ice skating and horse drawn sleigh rides.
The community also features an 18-hold Desmond Muirhead-designed golf course with dramatic views and Green Mountain vistas, PGA professionals on site, a full practice facility, a pro shop and casual dining.
