Jaime from Suffield, CT
Stayed 08/16/2021-08/19/2021"Overall it was a great vacation. We loved the condo as it was so comfortable. The patio is amazing in the condo, we loved sitting outside even when it was raining. We had some very competitive games of Uno on the porch. The pools and slides are extremely fun. I liked that you had them in different locations so that you could see more of the mountain. The location of our condo to the village was perfect. I loved the country store. Monday was an amazing day with so many activities. My kids loved the water balloon game ... Having Ben and Jerry’s and Village Pizza closed on the days we were there sent us into town and it was great to explore. We ate at the Mountain Grille for lunch and had the best waiter. He was so friendly and made our experience great. I wish I knew his name, he was terrific. We loved the Fun Zone. It was a great place to spend the rainy afternoon. All the staff I interacted with were very friendly. It’s very pleasant walking around. We enjoyed our time there together as a family, it was great family time."

My personal highlights were Marko- always Marko! and Goodtime Charlie. It's a beautiful location in Vermont with great recreational programs for all ages! We've visited many years- in winter and in summer and have great family memories- the best part for us is always is the super staff!"
The Kramer Family, London, England
Stayed 07/24/2021-08/04/2021"We have been frequent visitors of Smuggs (winter and summer) over the years. We moved from Boston to London last summer and throughout the long lockdown months our kids were very clear that their greatest pandemic wish was to return to Smuggs. We spent 10 amazing days at Smuggs this summer and once again it exceeded all of our expectations. I think we covered every inch of the resort, and it’s hard to explain the pure joy we all felt throughout the entire trip. I’m sure this has been a very challenging year for you and your staff. Thank you all for your extraordinary efforts to keep the magic of Smuggs alive! We head back to London endlessly grateful that we were able to come to Smuggs again this summer. To quote Emily— “it really is America’s best family resort! Thank you!"

We had so much fun for 5 hours swimming, tubing, and splashing. All the adults loved the Cabana drinks and the kids loved the snacks. We enjoyed meals at Hearth & Candle and Mountainside Grille. Had ice cream at Ben & Jerry’s. Bought souvenirs at the mountain shop and Country Store. We explored the 3 tiered pool and the Fun Zone. All in less than 24 hours! It was great that everything we needed was right there. This was our first trip since November 2019 and it was great to get away in our own
backyard!"

We really enjoyed the solstice celebration. My children range from 14-6, so it is hard to find things we all like to do together. We were able to enjoy several things like the pool, funzone, bingo, and the walking trails together and I had fun doing other activities with 1 or two of my kids based on what they like. We all had fun."
