“There was plenty to keep the family, all ages, as busy at Smuggs as they wanted to be: Classic camps, pools, mini putt, biking on the trails, comedy night, magic shows. All great value for money. The area also offers a ton of things to do: Some days we hiked area hikes, visited local stores and restaurants. Lots to do. All the on-site activities we participated in (trivia night, comedy show, magic shows) were high quality and enjoyable. Thank you all for making our Smuggs vacation so enjoyable. It is a beautiful resort with plenty of fun activities for kids and adults alike. We had a relaxing, fun and action-filled family vacation. We liked that there weren’t a lot of commercial intrusions or noise associated with the activities. Nothing nicer than sitting on our home’s balcony, sipping a glass of wines, and enjoying the scenery, with our kids having a great time in activities or family fun.”
