“It was great! I learned how to ski at Smugg’s back in the 80’s but haven’t been back. I know it’s not a fancy resort and had realistic
expectations, and was pleasantly surprised by how great the programming” -

“Another wonderful weekend at Smugg’s for Disc Golf! Thank you so much. Check-in was easy, fast, and friendly. Free breakfast was good, and our room was perfect! We did not know that this year sign-up was required for glow disc and unfortunately we couldn’t get in a slot. Although will say – yes definitely needed because last year it was a bit chaotic. Course’s were incredible!! Definitely looking forward to next year! THANK YOU!!!!”

“Fantastic!! This was our first trip to Smuggs, our 1st ski vacation as a family, and our 1st trip to the beautiful state of Vermont. We had a great time and would absolutely consider a return visit.”
-
Steve from Falls Church, VA
“Outstanding. My family and I had a great time and enjoyed everything about the resort. We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Smugglers’ Notch. I hope that’s reflected in my previous comments. Personally, I loved the ability to track your runs on the Smuggs app. Maybe other places have that, but it’s the first time I’ve been able to do that when I’ve been skiing. Perhaps I need to get out more. The only negative I could come up with is that the wooden corners of the beds stuck out far enough that more than one of us banged our shins on the frame.”
Spring Reviews

Audra from Bourne, MA
“Excellent! We picked a week where everything slows down and not much was open or in full swing. While other people may not share on our delight it was just what we needed. Our needs were met by resort staff moving our room to a bottom floor due to mobility issues. Overall a wonderful stay and we would love to come back and do some of the resort offerings when available. This was another bonus to focus on the surroundings and absorb the streams and trails nearby.”
