There was plenty to do for the kids (5 & 8 years old), the dining was extremely kid-friendly, and happy kids means happy parents, so we got to enjoy the vacation too. Thanks Smugglers', see you again soon!"

Jeanne from Wharton, NJ
Stayed 07/29/2017-08/05/2017"Smugglers' Notch has a lot to offer. The room was very nice and the grounds are very well kept. I loved that there were daily organized family activities as well as things one can do on your own at the resort like taking hikes or going to the FunZone (Ozone) the big chess board, shuffleboard, basketball, volleyball."

Jacqueline from Dedham, MA
Stayed 07/24/2017-07/29/2017"We had never been before, and wanted to try something different as our children were outgrowing Santa's Village and Story Land. I read about your resort in Boston Parent's Magazine and after discussing it with my husband thought it would be a great place to try. It far exceeded our expectations and we are so glad we came...We hope to come again next summer. Thank you for everything."

Morgan from Milford, MA
Stayed 07/13/2017-07/18/2017"I'll be honest. I had my doubts that this resort could really be fun for our whole family (My pregnant self, husband, 11 y.o. and 2 y.o. daughters), but we really had a great time. There was something for all of us to enjoy! We have definitely made lasting memories and I am so glad we came."
Jen from Burlington, KY
Stayed 07/03/2017-07/08/2017"We had a great time! My kids loved the day camp. It was a relaxing vacation and we made some great family memories. There were lots of fun activities to participate in, but plenty of time to take it easy as well. We had a great time and didn't want to leave. It's so nice (and rare) to go on a vacation that EVERYONE in the family enjoys, and this was it!"
Norman from Danbury, CT
Stayed 07/02/2017-07/08/2017"I love it. We have been coming up to Smuggs for years. It is the one vacation I look forward to, to be able to relax and rest and be away from the world! I would go up more often if I could. I love it, it is beautiful and happy place."
Carrie from Stockton, NJ
Stayed 07/03/2017-07/05/2017"We really enjoyed our stay at Smugglers' Notch. Our condo was spotless, and in the perfect location. We had a one bedroom condo, which suited our family of five nicely. Smugglers' Notch had something for everyone. We all wished we had more time, there was so much to do. We enjoyed it so much, during our free time we started looking at purchasing a unit."
Jen from Southington, CT
Stayed 07/02/2017-07/07/2017"We take a few family vacations a year. Our vacations are either international or beach centered. This was our first time vacationing in VT. 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 hope you feel proud in knowing just how much joy you help create and spread. You have made a mark on our family... and countless others. Thank you."

This was our third trip to Smuggs. We enjoy having our son attend camp while we do active adventures that he is not interested in doing with us (hiking and more hiking). He loves camp, we get to hike!"
William, a TripAdvisor reviewer
Stayed June 2017"Smuggs - A FANTASTIC family resort
We had around 20 family members in 5 separate condos. We played games, family volleyball, took hikes, enjoyed the pool and had a wonderful time building relationships between siblings, in-laws and grandchildren. We have been coming to Smuggs for 20 plus years and it never disappoints."
Rebecca from Haviland, OH

Ellen from Sutton, MA
Stayed 06/24/2017-07/01/2017"What an epic adventure! We did-a-cart, my son learned to skateboard and made it across the lily pads with a little help from his friends. 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!"
Heather from North Reading, MA
Stayed 06/22/2017-06/29/2017"It's a great family vacation, you have the flexibility of spending time alone as adults but also doing things as a family. The camps were very flexible with allowing the kids to come at any time of day if we had something else planned. We did the lunch with llamas program which was amazing."
Alexandra from Bronx, NY
Stayed 06/18/2017-06/24/2017"This was a great vacation, it was the first relaxing trip I've been on in years. The resort is so wholesome, without bring religious or corporate. I appreciate that this was neither of those things. Children were all so well behaved, I rarely saw people on cell phones, or even taking pictures. People just seemed to be in the moment, it was wonderful."
Le Anne from Coventry, CT
Stayed 06/15/2017-06/18/2017"We had an INCREDIBLE time! The room was very nice with all the amenities we needed, and it was a perfect location near the restaurants and main entrance.

We loved it so much that we were looking into purchasing a unit so we could be there all the time!!"
Eileen from Hoboken, NJ
Stayed 08/22/2016-08/26/2016"We had a great time at Smugglers' and plan on returning next year for vacation. We loved all children's activities as well as the adult activities. My eight year old daughter participated in the camp for two days and she loved it! This gave my husband and I a chance to do bike riding and go on a group hike. We also really enjoyed the County Fair on Thursday!"
Catherine from Tenafly, NJ
Stayed 08/21/2016-08/26/2016"This was a great last minute vacation plan that came together perfectly. Smugglers Notch had something for everyone to do. My kids ages 7 and 8 loved the camp and the friends they made. They joined the nature hiking group for the week and were able to see the resort and around the area through hiking with the group. They had a wonderful time at each of the evening activities and the Smuggs Country Fair. Overall we were so pleased with everything, the facilities and the location and the peaceful resort. The weather was perfect not too cold or hot and we only wished we could have stayed longer. We are hoping to plan for a fall winter trip this year."
Shannon from Brick, NJ
Stayed 08/21/2016-08/25/2016"We all had a fantastic time. We loved that there were so many activities and everything was so convenient. Although we could have walked anywhere from our location (it was perfect!), my daughter loved taking the shuttle places."

Leslie from Derry, NH
Stayed 08/19/2016-08/26/2016"We had a wonderful vacation. The room was perfect for our needs. Our family enjoyed the resort and spent much time enjoying many of the activities. Since the ages of the grandchildren ranged from 5 to 11, we appreciated the wide variety of choices of activities, especially the pool areas. The pirates breakfast was a wonderful way to end a wonderful week. We really enjoyed having the shuttles take us to different areas. What a wonderful, friendly group of drivers on staff!!!"
Dawn from Wayne, NJ
Stayed 08/19/2016-08/26/2016"Always love Smuggs. We have been coming here for 10 years now and the kids still enjoy it. There is so much to do. We do some of the same things year after year but there is always something new to try. I would rate it as one of the top vacation spots for families."

Stayed 08/06/2016-08/13/2016"We had a great time at Smuggs - we didn't quite know what to expect. We hadn't done this type of family trip before but it was great. Activities for the kids during the day allowed us to enjoy ourselves during the day and in the late afternoon and evening there was plenty for all 4 of us to do. It was a lot of fun and we're glad we chose it."
Irene from Westhampton, NY
Stayed 07/31/2016-08/06/2016"We live minutes from the Ocean and my goal for this vacation was for my kids to have a completely different experience in the Mountains. Of course, Smugglers delivered. It's so beautiful there. Thank you."
