Hello, Weekend. Let’s Escape.

May 2 – 9, 2025

There’s something about arriving at Smugglers’ Notch that instantly shifts your mindset. The road winds a little slower, the air smells a little fresher, and suddenly—you’re exactly where you’re meant to be. Whether you’re here for the weekend or stretching it into a longer stay (good call), we’re here to help you settle into your mountain rhythm. Maybe it’s mornings with zero emails and a good cup of coffee from The Perk. Maybe it’s finding your stride on the trails or unwinding fireside after a day well spent. However you unplug, Smuggs is your kind of place.

🗓️ Tips for Your Stay: Just Enough Structure to Keep It Spontaneous

Here’s what to keep on hand so you can plan a little, then play a lot:
🔗 Weekly Activity Guide (PDF) – Your inside scoop on what’s happening around the Resort all week long—from craft sessions to live music nights and wellness classes. It’s the best way to mix a little structure into your stay (if you’re into that).
👻 Bonus Highlight: Don’t miss Haunted History on Wednesdays — a storytelling stroll through Smugglers’ past, packed with eerie legends and local lore. Come for the chills, stay for the tales.
🔗 Current Hours of Operation – Because timing that perfect post-hike maple creemee does matter.

🚧 Heads up: Smugglers’ Notch Pass (Historic Route 108) is still closed for the season. If you’re mapping your way around, plan your route accordingly.

🌲 Choose Your Own Adventure (or Don’t)

There’s no wrong way to do a mountain getaway. Hike or walk your heart out, nap in a hammock, or sample your way through the local beer list. Want your own space? There’s plenty of it. One of our favorite low-key outings? The Lamoille Valley Rail Trail. Just a short drive from the Resort, this wide, scenic path is perfect for walking, biking, or even just snapping a few photos along the river. It’s flat, peaceful, and surrounded by Vermont charm—ideal for an easy afternoon escape. The pace here is yours to set. Whether you’re chasing views or chasing zero plans, Smuggs is the perfect basecamp.
