"It was a wonderful vacation! The staff was absolutely so helpful and amazing! They responded to any need or questions we had promptly and with a smile! Our accommodations were nice and clean; very comfy, ... The Country Store is a great option...so many choices.....fresh food, gifts, bakery items and all reasonably prices. We stopped there about 4 times during the week! Our unit was so comfy.....beds comfortable, the jacuzzi and fireplace a treat, and every utensil we needed was there. The view was wonderful and we look forward to returning! The outdoor heated pool was a November treat......wished we hadn't missed the Billiard tables! :) A wonderful family vacation and the small town of Jeffersonville also offers good choices for dining, market...a lovely area!"

"It was fantastic.Even though it was the off-season and most of the activities and amenities were not open, Smuggler's Notch Resort was still a great place to stay and relax. My vacation was extremely relaxing at Smuggs. The views from the home were beautiful looking up the slopes, especially after the snow shower left a few inches on the ground."

The local bike trails just keep getting better and better- Once the Lamoille Valley trail is fully opened it will be a destination for many riders and Smuggs is perfectly situated to enjoy it."

Julie from Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
Stayed 10/22/2022-10/29/2022
"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.
