"Our Vacation was Fabulous, an unforgettable experience, a Resort worth visiting and recommending to family and friends, worthy of a Gold Crown Hotel. The location of the Hotel allowed us to make a daily Agenda to visit a different place every day and really EVERYONE we saw was spectacular. Inside the Complex we enjoy internal walks along beautiful trails. We are Hikers and we appreciate contact with nature. Smugglers° Notch filled our expectations and the state of Vermont. Our Vacation was unforgettable, I would love to bring my grandchildren to enjoy this Tourist Complex and recommend it to close friends so they can enjoy it the same way we did. THANK YOU SMUGGLERS' NOTCH, THANK YOU VERMONT for so much beauty and hospitality."

"Most impressed. The accommodations were more than expected. Personnel, all were most personable, kind generous with any concern we had. That included a need for a different coffee pot and a new ice cube maker. Any and all questions answered. My guests including myself are considered super seniors. We had a grand time thanks to their acceptance of our needs. A consideration at sometime could be a pull bar in the bathrooms near those low toilets. Be proud of your high standards in connections with Wyndham owners. Thank you all!!!!!!!"

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Smuggs. Our unit was in Pines which was a great spot to stay. It was very central and gave easy walking access to the immediate Village amenities. The unit was roomy and updated. We did miss a king size bed, however the bed was very comfortable. We really enjoy staying at Smuggs and travelling all over northern and central Vermont during our visit. An excellent spot to stay at during a fall vacation. This was our third trip to Smuggs in 2023. As is always the case, the property, staff and accommodations were excellent."

"Amazing! Loved it. Very peaceful. We really just came to be immersed in the mountains but being in Trailside Highlands and having access to the Aspens pool, which we used several
times was great. I thought it might be disappointing to be so far from the village but it wasn’t and hiking down was easy enough for us. Very happy with the vacation. See you in February.
