I am personally a huge Disney fan and had to admit that we had a better time at Smugglers', more relaxing, more family fun and we actually felt refreshed when we got home. It was the first vacation in a long time where we felt that we were able to relax & enjoy as much as the kids."

Joseph from Neshanic Station, NJ
Stayed 07/07/2018-07/14/2018"It was an amazing family vacation. We loved everything about Smugglers' Notch (Smuggs). The location, the staff, activities, the unit, the restaurants, the transportation, and of course the entire experience was outstanding. We have never been treated as well and with respect as in Smuggs. This was such an amazing adventure vacation destination for us. We so enjoyed it and will definitely tell friends and family and will return again. Until you experience Smuggs you cannot believe how wonderful it is for all ages."
Diane from Morrisville, PA
Stayed 07/07/2018-07/13/2018"We were very impressed by Smugglers' Notch. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. The units were spacious and comfortable. Shuttles were readily available to take you from one place to another. Even though the place was full, it never felt crowded. Definitely plan on returning. I can't say enough positive things about Smugglers' Notch Resort. We were a group of 9, ranging in age from 1 to 68. We had a 14 year old and a young adult with Downs' Syndrome. There was plenty to do on the property for each age range and also many family activities close by. We swam, kayaked, hiked, and toured. We also visited Montreal for a day. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer!"
Scott from North Kingstown, RI
Stayed 07/02/2018-07/06/2018"It was fun, it was nice, there was plenty to do. The accommodations were very clean and the kitchen was completely stocked with everything we needed to cook a meal. We loved having the ability to do our laundry so we did not have to carry dirty laundry home with us. We really enjoyed Rum Runners' Hideaway. The location is perfect and the scenery breath taking. The 4th fireworks and concert were exceptional! We also really enjoyed the movie on the green, that was such a good movie selection for the kids! The staff at the check in station and activities desk were really friendly, helpful, and patient!"

Lisa from Montreal, Que
Stayed 06/22/2018-06/25/2018"Words can truly not express how we all feel once we pull into your driveway (and how sad we are to pull away). Your staff always go above and beyond, the accommodations are all above our expectations and the activities are all great. The country store is always a family favorite. For such a small space that store carries everything we needed and more for extra fun and treats to enjoy on our vacation and the BEST candy! We enjoyed the bonfire and marshmallows, the FunZone 2.0, both Mountainside and Notchville pools, bbqs, hikes and nighttime activities several times."

We had not been there before and wished we could have stayed another week so we could have enjoyed more and more of the surrounding area. I really think it is a very lovely place and a great one to enjoy with your family, young and old. We wish we had an extra week to trek to Vermont's tallest mountain, and spend a day at Rum Runners and Bootleggers, but that will have to wait till next time. Thanks again for a fantastic week."

Your resort provided us with an incredible vacation- the perfect blend of structured entertainment and relaxation. Our only regret is not knowing about Smugglers' years ago. Thank you. It is obvious you work hard to help families enjoy themselves and make lasting memories. The level at which you strive to make your guests' experiences as perfect as possible is impressive.

I went down every slide and loved it. Won most historical in the Rain Gutter Regatta with the Bismarck. Played laser tag, went down the inflatable slide and across the obstacle course. We ate dinner with a magician and breakfast with a pirate. We trekked with llamas and watched dogs catch discs. Then to wrap it all up we tye-dyed Smuggs tees. This week will go down in awesome vacation history!"
