Smugglers' Notch Resort Reviews & Ratings

We've been coming here for 25+ years, great place. We are only selling since we have purchased more time there through a fractional ownership.

perfect ski/in ski/out setup, lots of room, very comfortable place.

Rooms were clean and staff were very helpful and friendly. We made some great family memories with skiing and snow tubing. The kids enjoyed the pool and the resort had fun activities for the whole family.

An Unforgettable Family-Friendly Ski Resort Experience

Smugglers’ Notch Resort truly lives up to its reputation as one of the best family-friendly ski destinations in Vermont! Whether you’re here for the incredible skiing or the range of year-round activities, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Skiing and Snowboarding: The slopes are fantastic, offering options for all skill levels. Beginners will appreciate the well-maintained learning areas, while advanced skiers can challenge themselves on thrilling trails. The ski-in/ski-out convenience makes getting on the slopes a breeze, and the ski school for kids is top-notch.

Accommodations: The luxury condos, like those in the Sycamore community, are spacious, modern, and incredibly well-equipped. Full kitchens, gas fireplaces, and in-unit washers/dryers make the stay comfortable and convenient. The attention to detail in the units, combined with ski-on/ski-off access, elevates the entire experience.

Resort Amenities: The heated outdoor pools are a perfect way to relax after a day on the mountain. Kids and adults alike will enjoy the fun activities offered by the resort, including tubing, ice skating, and guided nature walks. The resort also has an excellent dining scene, with plenty of family-friendly and fine-dining options.

Family-Friendly Atmosphere: What sets Smugglers’ Notch apart is its dedication to families. The resort staff goes above and beyond to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere. From the award-winning kids’ programs to evening entertainment, everything is designed with families in mind.

Overall: Smugglers’ Notch Resort is the perfect choice for anyone looking to make unforgettable winter (or summer!) memories. The combination of fantastic accommodations, a variety of activities, and excellent customer service makes it a standout destination. I can’t recommend it enough

Number one family resort, per Ski Magazine, many years in a row. Three mountains! Numerous family activities, including ski camp and babysitting beginning at six months. Unusually spacious apartment with panoramic views of the mountains.

My family has the most wonderful memories growing up at Smugglers Notch Resort. Campers as toddlers while mom and dad were out hiking or shopping in Stowe or at the spa to tween campers doing the famous sleepover in the lodge on the mountain. Ben and Jerry's ice cream cones out by the fire in the evening and of course having family come join us for a few nights here and there because we have a spacious unit! The pools and the waterslides were so much fun! Create memories of a lifetime coming back each summer. YOU'LL LOVE SMUGGS

This is the most amazing family resort in the country. It has been ranked #1 by Family magazine for many years. We have years of wonderful memories with our kids and even our parents. We have also done adult weekend getaways here with friends. Something for everyone here and more to do than you can possibly accomplish or just do nothing and relax in the beautiful Vermont mountains views.

Stayed here with family and friends many times. Top notch all around!

OUR OWNERSHIP IS 2WKS(1/FIXED-1/FLOAT) We have owned this timeshare for over 30 years and have enjoyed every moment. We were skiers and the mountains at Smuggs are challenging at every ability level. The Smuggs resort now connects to Stowe/Mt. Mansfield on the other side---2 mountains for one. They have a fantastic ski school and other winter activities. Additionally, the summer at Smugs overtakes the winter in terms of activities for the children and families. SO SAD WE DON'T SKI ANYMORE..YOU'LL LOVE SMUGGS.

The resort is in a gorgeous location in northern Vermont, and there are SO many activities within the village itself! A week here flies by, and it's always so much fun whether with family or a group of friends.

This is a 2 bedroom unit with full kitchen. Smuggs is a great family resort with various pools and amenities, plus children's camps during the day. The resort maintains cleanliness and is always upgrading the accommodations. My family has been enjoying it for decades and they keep improving it. The nearby bike trails in Stowe are breathtaking. Ziplining was the best experience as well!

I will miss Smugglers Notch resort. I've had a lot of good times there. It is a great place to vacation.

We were there for "Leaf Peeping" season. Beautiful countryside. Good restaurants in the area. The beds are super-comfy. The full kitchen made it easy to cook breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
