Stayed 03/26/2017-03/28/2017"We loved the mountain. The grooming was very good and we really enjoyed the long double chairlifts. Could also see that snowmaking is updated and important at Smuggs. That old school charm is lost at most resorts but is alive and well at Smuggs."
Jon from Kensington, MD
Stayed 03/18/2017-03/25/2017"While the facilities at Smuggs are great, it is the people (many of whom have long history and relationships) that make is such a special place!"
Rebecca from Gores Landing, Ontario
Stayed 03/13/2017-03/19/2017"Smugglers' Notch was a home away from home. Everyone we encountered was so friendly and easy going. We will definitely be returning again next winter and possibly bringing others along! Smugglers' Notch tops it for family fun and relaxation with outstanding natural beauty to go along with it."
Judith from Sarnia, Ontario
Stayed 03/13/2017-03/17/2017"We enjoyed our stay very much. The condo was perfect for our size of family. The lessons were good as well as the instructors. The efficiency of the shuttle was helpful for finding our way around the resort."
Adam from Toronto, Ontario
Stayed 03/12/2017-03/17/2017"Great family fun vacation. Skiing was great, loved the family activities at night, and the shuttle made it really easy to get everywhere."
Kenneth from Ridgefield, CT
Stayed 03/11/2017-03/18/2017"Whenever we talk skiing with families with kids (on lift rides at other ski areas, at the Mountain Grille Bar, you name it), we recommend Smuggs. It has given us so many "priceless" family memories over the many years we've been going there."
Jeanine from Danbury, CT
Stayed 03/10/2016-03/12/2017"We had a great time. Overall a very positive experience. Fun for the kids and comfort for the adults. The staff was very accommodating before and during the trip."
Willis from Southington, CT
Stayed 03/03/2017-03/08/2017"Awesome!! Smugglers' Notch is a terrific resort. Clean, lots of things to do and see, and the staff are friendly, experienced, and eager to help. We loved our stay!"
Michael from Mountain Lakes, NJ
Stayed 02/21/2017-02/24/2017"Smuggs provided us with the best of all worlds: safe, individualized, age appropriate, experiences as well as opportunities to connect as a family unit. We came away refreshed, revitalized, and reconnected!"
Lois from Mahwah, NJ
Stayed 02/21/2017-02/24/2017"My husband and I had a relaxing few days while our son was at ski camp and ski lessons. We knew he was in a safe environment, and would be taken care of."
Sandy from Roslyn, NY
Stayed 02/19/2017-02/24/2017"We had an enjoyable time. Kids enjoyed snowboarding camp and I enjoyed the show shoe trails through the Nordic center. As a runner and not a skier, it was great to have the option to snow shoe your many trails. With my kids happily tucked away in ski school I was able to enjoy my version of a winter vacation. We've been to many ski resorts and I've never seen such elaborate "other" winter sports available."
Teresa from Brooklyn, NY
Stayed 02/18/2017-02/25/2017"It was absolutely wonderful. Everyone we interacted with, especially the Smugglers' employees were so consistently awesome, kid friendly, accommodating and helpful. The resort and accommodations were beautiful and activities/lesson were fun and helpful!!! Can't wait to return and recommend Smugglers' to friends and family! Definitely the best family resort I've ever been to."
Brian from New York, NY
Stayed 02/18/2017-02/24/2017"Took my 6 year old and 4 year old on the same trip my parents took me on to learn how to ski over 30 years ago. Kids had a blast. Excellent ski school. The mountains are better than I remembered them to be. My parents joined us so we had 3 generations skiing at Smuggs. Will be interested in returning. Really liked how kid friendly the vacation was."
Jeanette from Lexington, MA
Stayed 02/17-2017-02/24-2017"We had a great vacation. My daughter participated in snowboard camp and had a blast. The instructors ere friendly, patient and helped her become a better rider. I also took a few lessons and I cannot be more positive about my private lessons ... The ski and snowboard school is by far one of the better schools in the northeast. The employees of the resort are incredibly friendly and helpful."
Ellen from East Moriches, NY
Stayed 02/12/2017-02/17/2017"This was my 4th time to Smugglers' and would definitely return again. I love the convenience of the shops, restaurants, and rentals; how everything is within walking distance!! Being close to a lift chair is awesome as well. The fireworks display was a beautiful addition to our stay."
Michael from East Hampton, CT
Stayed 02/10/2017-02/12/2017"Smuggs is great, it maintains its vintage mountain charm without feeling dated. The mountain is challenging and never crowded. I'll keep coming back!"
Lorraine from Hampton Bays, NY
Stayed 02/03/2017-02/06/2017"We loved it! The accommodation was great. The mountain terrain was awesome. The shuttle service was awesome. The woman's snowboarding clinic was terrific. We are going back and can't wait to do so."
Liam from Davidsonville, MD
Stayed 01/29/2017-02/03/2017"It was a great vacation. The facilities were great we enjoyed every part of the activities offered. We did the snowmobile tour which was very fun. The shuttle service was excellent always there fast and the drivers were very nice. The mountain itself was in great condition always groomed and packed. All the employees were very cheerful and polite. We want to take another vacation to Smugglers' Notch."
Keith from Forked River, NJ
Stayed 01/29/2017-02/03/2017"It was awesome! We had a 1 1/2 year old with us, and there was plenty of stuff for our family to do. The whole resort was very family oriented and friendly. We enjoyed all the onsite activities. We also like that we were able to park our truck and not have to use it again until we checked out, we loved that everything was onsite! "
Sarah from North Creek, NY
Stayed 01/27/2017-01/30/2017"The staff were great and very helpful! The room was so clean and very comfy. We had a great time here and can't wait to come back! We will be recommending this place to other people."
Chad from Hudson, NH
Stayed 01/26/2017-01/29/2017"Condo was super clean and comfortable and the kids loved the pool. We lucked out with a foot of snow over two days which was a nice surprise. Mountain was perfect for us and we do not have a bad thing to say. The kids already want to come back."
Kevin from Shrewsbury, MA
Stayed 01/22/2017-01/24/2017"This will be our second year staying at your resort. I have been skiing for quite sometime (age 65) and have skied with my children and now grandchildren and would say without hesitation that Smuggs has got it right."
Brenton from New York, NY
Stayed 01/20/2017-01/23/2017"Absolutely magnificent! The mountain is under-rated, staff and locals extremely friendly, and the accommodations were above expectation."
Kristen from Stratford, Ontario
Stayed 01/19/2017-01/22/2017"We had a great family trip. The 1 bedroom accommodation was ideal and provided lots of space. My kids day camps were beneficial and they had a good time. Would definitely recommend Smugglers'."
Joshua from Brewster, MA
Stayed 01/18/2017-01/22/2017"This was a fantastic vacation! We love every aspect of Smuggs, especially how family-friendly it is. We recommend it to most people we talk to, and are excited to vacation there each year! We love all the activities, especially for kids, at Smuggs! There is something for them to do every day! We make good use of the pools as well, and can't wait for the new FunZone to open! This is what sets Smuggs apart from other ski mountains in our opinion. There are a number of other mountains closer to us, but we keep coming back to Smuggs because of these activities, the ease of the shuttle and Village Center, and the high quality of the condos."
Samantha from Wilmington, NC
Stayed 01/13/2017-01/17/2017"Our overall impression of the vacation was what a sweet home away from home get away. We were able to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the VT mountains and enjoyed our time on the slops, but also appreciated coming back at night to what still felt like a home where we could sit by the fire and enjoy conversations around the couch and play board games."
Mike from Boston, MA
Stayed 01/13/2017-01/17/2017We had a great time. Condo was clean and perfect for my group. Ski lessons for my grandchildren were very helpful. My granddaughter especially enjoyed her instructor. Skiing was great for everyone. Could not have had a better ski vacation. Thanks for everything."
Jay from Newtown, CT
Stayed 01/13/2017-01/16/2017"Hands down, the most friendly and accommodating staff at any resort in VT and beyond. I travel with three kids, which is challenging, but everyone at the resort seems to intuitively know how to make everything easy."
Richard from Groton, CT
Stayed 01/13/17-01/15/17"Best winter vacation my family and I have taken. From the condo to the slopes and everything in between, we were fully satisfied. Not only did I enjoy my stay, I am already looking to book for next year."
Tiffany from Hoboken, NJ
Stayed 01/09/2017-01/14/2017"Our vacation was amazing! Everything was so incredibly well thought out. Every program and staff member really left us at ease. My children were happy to say goodbye to me in the morning and reluctant to leave the fun in the afternoon! We have gone on expensive family resort vacations in the Caribbean and I must say I much prefer this vacation. Every part of the resort was so well organized, from coloring books at a kids table at check in, to entertaining our antsy little ones while we waited for our meals. Getting around the resort was a breeze and the resort had everything we could possibly want."
Cheryl from Queensbury, NY
Stayed 01/05/2017-01/08/2017"My husband and I came up in the fall to check out the resort. We had a great time and OMG how beautiful it was. We came back with our adult children for a ski weekend. It was our first time staying at a resort like this for skiing. We all had a great time, so much so, that our daughters were checking out real estate options in the area. We will certainly be back. My husband and I talked of how wonderful the staff was and the many options for children of all ages. If we are blessed with grandchildren down the road we would definitely bring them here to learn to ski, as we were so impressed with the programs, staff, and overall safe family atmosphere Smuggs offers. Whoever is training your staff - well done. You are on par with Disney's quality. Top notch resort."
John from Orleans, Ontario
Stayed from 01/04/2017-01/06/2017"Well designed area around village, easy to get anywhere and shuttle buses always ready. A lot of staff to help with everything from activities to guest services. Impressed with the snowmaking and grooming. If not a skier, many activities to keep people busy and even at night, the tubing and fireworks were very good. The accommodations were great for two people and had everything including a washer/dryer."
Regina from Oshawa, Ontario
Stayed 01/02/2017-01/07/2017"Can't wait for next year's vacation at Smuggs. My son is looking forward to the new center [
FunZone 2.0] being open so he can try the Ninja course. His skiing improved immensely over the week thanks to the amazing instructors. We are no HUGE fans of the Smuggs experience."
Debbie from Toronto, Ontario
Stayed 01/02/2017-01/05/2017"We enjoyed ourselves very much. There was so much to do, it was hard to rein the kids in - they couldn't do everything and have time to ski, too! Overall, we had a very nice family trip. We have never taken a family trip to a resort that included such a wide variety of activities. The kids enjoyed all the activities and we (the parents) were amazed that we could actually learn to snowboard at our ages!"
Peter from Toledo, Ontario
Stayed 01/01/2017-01/08/2017"Our family had another great week at Smuggs. The mountain was in great shape with a majority of the runs open. We enjoyed the family activities after spending the day on the mountain skiing and riding. We really enjoyed "Family Feud" with Goodtime Charlie (new to us this trip)."
Laura from Kingston, Ontario
Stayed 01/01/2017-01/05/2017"Excellent lodging, excellent instructors. Overall a fabulous trip. We would come back again for sure if we had the chance. We loved the experience. It was a great first trip for our kids. They are asking to go back already."
Stephanie from Toronto, Ontario
Stayed 12/30/2016-01/06/2017"Great family holiday spot in a cozy and relaxed setting near quaint New England villages. Everything was seamless, so I could truly relax knowing our son was going to be well taken care of."
Ruth from Cambridge, MA
Stayed 12/28/2016-01/01/2017"For years I worked for a major travel company and hired tour directors. I don't know how you find your staff, but I'd hire every one of them. Friendly, patient, and delightful."
Laura from Seabrook, TX
Stayed 12/25/2016-01/01/2017"We felt Smugglers' Notch Resort was a very nice, well run resort. Our room was very nice, perfect for our family. We were all basically beginners at skiing and snowboarding so we were happy with the number and variety of beginner trails available. We liked the variety of activities available and the variety of food options. The fireworks display and torch procession on New Year's eve was fun."
Glenn from Huguenot, NY
Stayed from 12/23/2016-12/27/2016"Awesome trip. Having skied much of the east, Smugglers' definitely is near top. Myself and my daughter had a great time. Now that it's just the 2 of us, we would like to thank all for a great time, and memories."
Monica from Brooklyn, NY
Stayed 12/22/2016-12/26/2016"Wonderful! Great vacation for the family - kids, my husband and I, and grandparents all enjoyed our stay. Ski school was fantastic, we took a private lesson and instructors were great, really nice and helpful staff."
