Smugglers Notch Resort is a personal go to when looking for down time in a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere. You can stay in a range of options from studio accommodations to full on five bedroom townhouse units with a kitchen. I have been there in both the summer and the winter and they are equally fantastic. The staff is really friendly and there are enough activities to satisfy adults, kids, and families. There is a general store for grocery shopping, an outfitters store for apparel, as well as on site restaurants and bars. With multiple pools as well as water slides this is an amazing family oriented resort.

Really enjoyed staying here for the disc golf pro tour Green Mountain Championship. Had a great location in Liftside 42 which is close to the main buildings/restaurants and has a balcony facing the green where Fall fest was held. So I had a great box seat for the concerts with no extra ticket charge. Restaurants were a little pricey, but the food was really good. Only one pool was up and running in September, but it was heated nicely. My room was spacious and had a full kitchen, so cooking in is possible if you don't want to pay for the restaurants. The two big disc golf courses were awesome and the little 9 home pitch and putt was fun, too.

This was my second trip to this resort. Booked through RCI during their off season and resort was quite. Rooms are spacious and comes with lot of amenities including a fireplace, whirlpool tub, bunk bed for kids and a full size kitchen. They also give you complementary arcade passes. Property has few pools. It was relatively cheaper to book with points. Downside is, not friendly for people with mobility issues. Both times I stayed here, you have to take stairs in some way to get to your room. No elevators in buildings I have stayed at. Virtually no soundproofing at least on the exterior of rooms. Walking normally makes loud thumping and squeaking sound. Rooms look really dated. Bed was comfortable but pillows not so much. However, it wasn’t a dealbreaker as I was able to get good sleep every night. Staff at check in desk was extremely helpful and very pleasant. Susan at front desk was very friendly and went above and beyond to make sure I feel welcomed and informed me about resort, restaurants & activities. This is my weekend getaway place and I will continue to visit every few years. This resort can be excellent choice for family gatherings or weekend getaway from NYC, Boston or Canada. Lot to see and do in the area all year round.

We always visit during the shoulder-seasons, which suits our quiet, introverted lifestyle. The resort is quiet, clean, and peaceful. Staff are wonderful. Locals can be relied upon to lend their advice whenever needed. We are repeat visitors, and will be back again! We hope the appliance-focused maintenance man has a successful surgery in the new year!

We've been coming here for 15 years sometimes twice a year always during down season for better prices. This year is the first time we only have access to the small North Hill pool and need to drive to it, all the other ones being under 'maintenance' they say however no one working on them so.. quite disappointed, I don't think they should charge resort fees when it's like this. The 3 bedroom condo in Sycamores is nice, comfortable, clean, nothing missing.

We traded in with RCI. Very happy with this resort. Large, clean, well furnished suite. Only issue is location which is's over the mountain from Stowe so spent 30 min each way to get to restaurants going through the notch. It is however a beautiful drive.

Kids love ❤️ it and don't want to go home. Great facilities & staff especially for kids camps. It was enjoyed by my children during elementary school years via the camps, continuing through high school & college when they brought their friends, and now by their children during Summer (camps, etc), magnificent Fall foliage, and Winter (skiing ⛷️ tubing for munchkins & pools throughout all seasons. Recent trip also enabled remote work by parents while kids were in camp.

I've been to the other location at Stowe, but this one is so much fun!! Connor is AWESOME! I go to Smugglers Notch once a year and I can't wait to include the distillery again as well. Thank you guys for making a top Notch vodka, seriously impressed as a seasoned fan. p.s. please use the upstairs as seating room!! there are WAY too many outlets in there!

We had so much fun at this distillery. I’m terrible with names, I know he is a teacher/professor, but he was so kind. He spent a lot of time talking about all of the different selections and their unique taste. Shared some laughs and left with a bottle of 126. Did not expect an experience like that in Vermont, but we had a good afternoon there. Not to mention the bourbon is surprisingly delicious. I wished I could take a couple bottles home.

Not too sure what to say about their pricing… USD 10 for a tasting of just one single barrel whisky, matured over three different times (from 2.5 to 5.4 yrs.) plus one other product of theirs… The guy behind the desk seemed not too interested in making us buy. So we didn’t.

Nice new location. Great spirits, especially the Vodka. They have a new grapefruit vodka my wife loves. The barrel aged maple syrup is a classic Vermont way to end a tasting. Loved it, too. The woman giving the samples did so with professionalism. Se had an enthusiasm for the product that shone through, despite giving the same talk countless times.

If you aren’t skiing and looking for something tasty to experience, then I’d suggest a tasting tour of Smugglers’ Notch Distillery! If the clear stuff (vodka and gin) are your thing - no issues. If you like your spirits a little darker then SND has you covered! The bourbon tasting tour is informative, engaging and tasty. There is much to sample and the store has something for you! Whether it is a finely crafted spirit, a Smugglers’ Mule (ready made), distillery barrels or even skate decks - then you need not worry! Kudos! Well done!

We really enjoyed our visit and tasties. The young lady working was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. She gave us options that made our trip there on motorcycles easier to get product and she even let us know one of the best places to eat. Will definitely get online and visit again when we come from midcoast Maine!

My daughter and I taste tested the various alcohol that they distill as well as the yummy pickles and syrup. We love the Maple Bourbon Whiskey pickles.

We brought our horse obsessed daughter here for her third birthday. She and I have zero experience riding and it was perfect. Our horse Luca was great. All four horses in our group were slow and calm. Beautiful scenery - we even saw some deer on our ride. The guide was nice and personable. 100% recommend for people with little or no experience.

Our three young grandsons with their parents, visiting us from St. Louis, were thrilled with Lajoie. Kally was extremely friendly and took great care of us. After the ride, the owner and other helpers entertained us in the barn with stories and videos, and spent quite a lot of time taking photos for us and letting us pet the horses. They made us feel like family. 'Lajoie' is a good name for the atmosphere at these stables.

Our experience was magical. Our daughter has begged to ride since Kindergarten (shes going into 7th) and I never saw the smile leave her face all day. It was a beautiful ride and we saw a deer and her fawn and so many turkeys. Kally/Callie *i didnt ask how she spelled her name* was so kind and took amazing photos. We will certainly be back again!

Took my daughter and my little cousins here while on vacation for my daughter’s 5th birthday celebration. The staff was friendly, very patient and knowledgeable. This was all our first time riding horses on a trail. It was an experience for sure. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because the two of the 4 horses we rode on we kind of defiant and didn’t follow the instructions we were given to guide them on the trail. I know animals have their own personalities and feelings but the horse I rode on Teddy, was very territorial and not friendly to the other horses on the trail. He bit the horse my daughter was on and startled both the horse and my daughter who was riding him. He began to buck his head in what seemed like anger because one of the other horses Luka, was walking “too close” behind him. The other horse Knight, didn’t follow direction no matter how much my little cousin (age 12) tried to guide him. She was very determined despite being scared but the horse wanted to do his own thing lol. He ended up having to be strapped to the instructor’s horse half way through the ride for us to finish. As I said the lack of star has nothing to do with the staff or facility itself, they were great. The instructor was extremely patient and encouraging. She gave us lots of fun facts about the owners, the land and the horses themselves. She even was kind enough to take the photos I’ve attached to the review. Very kind and her little boy was just a cute added bonus to the stables. If we were to ever return I would ask for horses other than Teddy and Night.

I can't say enough good things about this business. The people here work hard, they treat the horses real well and they are open year round. None of the other stables were open when I called, and I called at least five of them. They are very deserving of your patronage.

Had one of the best experiences this afternoon at Lajoie Stables. The owner was extremely sweet and accommodating and everyone who works there is very knowledgeable. They walked us through everything for first time riders. Our 6 year old was very scared and nervous about getting on a horse but they knew exactly what to do to put her at ease. Natalie, especially, was the sweetest. She held her hand through out the trail and made sure she was happy and comfortable. Now our little girl wants a horse of her own lol Amazing experience. Would definitely do it again.

I went here with my wife when we had no baby! Now we have a son haha. This was a different kind of thrill that you don’t get in a roller coaster. This made me feel as if I was in a video game. Waiting for more snow and then a bright sunny day and take my toddler. Picture perfect.

I showed up after closing time with my kayak and still got a trip up the river. The access area wasn't overly steep and dangerous getting in or out. Very tranquil beautiful scenery and wildlife. I saw a beaver between bridges 2 and 3 be on the lookout. Dottie didn't get him. This trip was precisely what I got a kayak for. A nice relaxing trip down the river with a little fun, faster moving water before exiting. Fantastic Voyage

Highly recommend VCK! Joined them on a guided Maple tour. Our guide, Madelyn, was fantastic. She helped us navigate the river to avoid shallow spots and helped us when we got stuck on the rocks. The tour ended at the Vermont Maple Outlet - with a free Maple ice cream cone. So much fun!!!

We took the 8.5 mile trip and had a leisurely 3 hour paddle and float down the river in our kayaks. Very relaxing and peaceful. Loved every minute of it. The only complaint was all the mud at the spot where we had to exit our kayaks and pull them up on the river bank. But there was at least a hose available to wash off all the mud. Definitely recommend the trip.

I grew up in Jeffersonville and now live out of state. We vacationed there for a week this summer and my boys had so much fun kayaking the first day, we ended up going again for a second day. Thank you for the great memories!

Easy to book and friendly staff. Went with spouse (zero experience with kayaking), and 2 kids (6&9) and it was a great river for beginners! Stopped half way through to eat lunch and skip rocks. Recommend for families. Will definitely be back.

The people at Vermont Canoe and Kayak were the best: friendly and helpful. They have really thought of everything. You can pick from 3 different drop-off points to choose how much time you spend on the river. They drive you and the watercraft of your choice up river and you paddle and drift back. We went slow and enjoyed the quiet, the scenery and seeing mink on the riverbank. Lifejackets are provided. They even have the things you might have forgotten in their shop (sunblock, waterproof cellphone bag). We didn't take a guided tour but from taking to the staff for a while, I bet that would be great too.

Great experience! Bronwyn and the team were top notch from start to finish. An incredible way to see Vermont with a great tour of the Lamoille River.

Very nice little shop located in Jeffersonville. Plenty of Maple Sugar items for sale. Friendly and welcoming staff members. Taste was awesome! Highly recommended!

They had their sugar shack running. Great talk about the steps of collecting sap, the tubing and then through osmosis filters before going to the evaporator. Of course, the store sells maple syrup & all sorts of maple syrup flavored stuff. They have a soft serve machine selling maple syrup flavored soft serve, they then drizzle maple syrup over it and then sprinkle maple sugar on it. It's really yummy!

My sister and I were in the store exactly one week ago while on vacation. They have a great selection of maple products and the lady was very nice. We asked about having our purchased items being shipped to our homes since we were flying back home. She was happy do to that and we paid for priority shipping through USPS. She said it would be mailed mid-week. Come Friday of the following week we had not received a shipping notification. We contacted the store through their contact form and I called the store three times (leaving a message once) and no one ever answered. We finally received emails with tracking numbers at the exact same time. My sister's package was picked up Friday and mine was picked up a whole day later. My sister's package is being delivered overnight and my will take 5 days. They have great products but most of it can be purchased elsewhere but DO NOT have them ship it. It is easier, cheaper, and less of a headache to take the stuff to the UPS Store and ship it yourself.

First step in the door and it was like e at first site...clean, spacious and well lots with lots and lots of maple syrup varieties, from light to very robust. Handcrafts, art, baked goods, novelty goods, candy, a coffee station, and the small Sugaring room full of hiatory, a video tour and equipment for a live demonstration. The woman who worked there was really nice and very knowledgeable, giving us a little tour. My favorite discovery was the popping corn on the cob variety for the microwave...very cool! They also carry their own honey with a live bee box for demonstration mounted to the wall when its bee season. Will be going back many times.

Well-stocked gift shop with everything maple you'd want to take back to the family and good prices. And amazing creamees!

It's definitely the best maple icecream I've ever had. I found the place very cute. Has Vermont souvenirs to cheese and maple syrups. The most impressive thing about this place was the glass enclosed beehive. This place also has an outside patio with great view that you can enjoy while slurping away on your maple creamie.

It’s a good place, if you are in for organic honey and Maple syrup products. Price are completely worth it. I bought 2 pounds honey it was 14.99, and that sounds reasonable to me because it’s organic. They were have there own bees. Sounds Interesting Right??

A cute little spot selling tasty pastries and coffees, amongst their other small grocery store provisions. The staff was friendly and helpful. The prices are a bit high, but that’s to be expected in a spot where they’re closing the gap for a community need where there are not a lot of other options nearby. They are operating on temporary hours right now which isn’t clear and is my only gripe—on google maps it says they open at 9am but it was actually 9:30 so I felt a bit foolish waiting outside. But I do recommend the lattes and almond croissants and it’s worth the stop!

The Farm Store is easily the best local market anywhere in the area! It’s like a little slice of what you’d find in Stowe on the other side of the mountain. It is a must-visit if you’re driving past Jeffersonville on your way to or from Smuggs - they have an excellent selection of coffee, pastries, dairy items, healthy foods, snacks, fruits, vegetables, meats, medicines, body care essentials, and so much more! It’s basically a mini market with a carefully-crafted selection of items you’d find at a Whole Foods, CVS Pharmacy, and an actual farmers’ market. It might be a bit more expensive than some other places, but you can come here knowing the things they sell are much healthier and better for you! Be sure to get here early when they have all of their baked goods still available - they will sell out later in the day! And as for parking, it can be a little tight sometimes, but there is always space on the street. Just check this place out sometime…you won’t be disappointed!

One of the best Oat Milk Lattes I have had on our NE Fall colors trip. I left wondering if the OMlatte was so good, the regular milk would have been even better!

Nice local store. They had a variety of products like food or incense. However I found that most of the “specialty” foods could be purchased at my local grocery store back home. It may be special to the locals but it’s not very “fresh” when you think of farms. When I look for a jam I’d like it to be freshly packed. Not packed in a factory that sent out hundreds of thousands of jars at once a year ago. The espresso was good but nothing fantastic. The staff was super nice! Scone was yummy! I loved this plant that was for sale on the counter. Not many coffee shops around here so this is a nice spot to have for sure! They also had candles that smelt pretty good!

Disappointing. Latte was sub-par for flavor of both expresso & milk. No artistry either - just foam (like a 7-11 latte machine) - not worth the price

Was our go to coffee spot every day. Fantastic coffee and such a cute spot! Wish I lived here to enjoy this each day.

Surprised by this hidden gem. Love their coffee drinks and pastries. Fresh veggies farm ripe and a nice selection of fine cheeses.

Great place to disc golf. 2 completely different style courses in Fox run meadows and Brewster's ridge. Fox is hilly open with lots of out of bounds play and brewster is a punishing woods course. Suggested that you get a tee time to play. The shop offers good selection of discs snacks and other accessories.

This place is amazing!!!! The two courses on site are beautiful, perfectly maintained, and designed well. I love playing these courses. The practice area is the best in disc golf with all the trees, elevation, and baskets to test with. The tee pads are great and shots are unique to each course. Definitely a must play

Two great courses here. Highly recommend these top tier courses.

Definitely a must visit for any disc golfer! The grounds were beautiful and very well kept; we loved the unique and challenging courses. The little shop has food and drinks, and is a great place to chill while you wait for your tee time. A gréât place and definitely would play here again.

My husband loved being able to play on both courses. He thought they were both very challenging and fun. It is a beautiful setting through the Vermont forest. With 4 different tee boxes anyone can enjoy the courses.

Two of the best courses I've ever played and both are very different. Brewster's ridge is more of a wooded course with some tight tunnels. Fox run is a more open course with some holes with really good distance

What a good time! Friendly and helpful staff. Well mainted courses, interesting and challenging course, variable difficulty tee-boxes, well stocked Drink and snack bar. Very well run Pro-shop. Both courses offer beautiful views, and a great exercize. You need to set a tee-time before you play but this leads to the courses not getting clogged which allows for more playing for everyone!

Built in 1819, and the same family owning it today was so exciting to hear, what a gem. I wish we could have gone on the barn tour but it starts late afternoon. During Sugaring season they only give tours when someone is available. They still run the Quarry from which the name is derived. Nice little store, a variety of maple syrups, raw milk and honey is their own and available all year unless they run out, which they had by the time we got there...art and handcrafts are all local artisans. Ice cream is seasonal-spring to fall. They are open year around except major holidays. Going back soon for more syrup...soooo good!

Cute little Vermont cafe with free WiFi and comfortable couches. I ordered the weekly special: latte with chai, chocolate and a hint of orange. I also had the granola power balls which was really good. Only thing they could improve on is having a customer bathroom.

It was a cloudy day when I went to pick up my 3rd Place Prize from Quarry Hill Farm's Facebook Fall Photo Contest. Loved the cool T-shirt & pint of their Vermont Maple Syrup! The person in the gift shop was super friendly! She let me try on of their seasonal gelato flavors, Sweet Potato Clove!

This place has the best Maple Creemees of the area. Hands down best over the top flavor and a decent size for the price. Local raw milk, syrup, jerky, jewelry, tees and hats and more as well. :-)

Nice little place. More like a gift shop than a coffee house. Yes that serve coffee but nothing to eat.

We stopped here on a split second decision to get maple syrup and a coffee on a road trip. Wow! Very impressed. The person Behind the counter was so friendly. Coffee was delicious and the gifts were adorable. Wish we could have stayed longer to learn more 💖🐄🐮🥛

I visited this shop almost 2 years ago and I still think about the maple ice cream I had here. I was visiting VT and driving back to our accommodations from a hike and stumbled upon it. I wish I could go back and get that ice cream again. Also, got some maple syrup as a souvenir and it was delicious and fairly priced.

We were staying at smugglers notch and found the equipment rental prices to be much more reasonable for our family of four, including two children (9yrs & 6yrs). The staff was awesome and very helpful, especially since we were first time skiers visiting from Florida. Our children agreed that skiing is better than Disney! That’s a win!

I must say these guys made our trip with incredible service and super friendly. They always had good music playing and it smelled so good everytime they came in! They made sure we all had the right boots and equipment that fit perfect and rode awesome. 10/10 and will come back. Loved smugglers notch!

Just a great experience all around. We bought some ski gear at Triple Diamond for several family members. Rob and team are very knowledgeable, always go the extra mile to make sure people leave happy and their prices are great - especially considering the convenient location just a couple minutes from the resort.

best shop around,Rob set me up with my new Dynastar pros,amazing skis, the service was second to none!!Let Rob and Holly and the crew take care of your ski and snowboard needs! awsome service in the heart of Smuggs.see you on the hill!!

Triple Diamond Ski Shop was the 4th shop I went to on my search for my first pair of ski boots. Needless to say with the 5 star review, my search ended here. Rob and the team were so friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. All three of the other places gave different opinions: "They should fit like a shoe", "They should be half a size too small", "They look good". All of those places didn't feel right and gave bad advice. But here, they went to extreme lengths to find/make the perfect fit, set me up with some great rentals, and were meticulous in their attention to making sure I was walking out of their as a happy customer. And I did!! I'm stoked that I waited to come here to get my equipment. I'll recommend them to anyone who needs anything related to ski equipment or rentals. Thanks again for the great experience Rob & Team!

Friendly staff! They were just as stoked as my son was for getting his first snowboard season rental! He already can't wait for next season!!

Quality ski shop run and operated by the owner and wife and a Team of knowledgeable Ski Pro's. Easy access in and out. Great tunes and we'll equipped shop.

Peaceful environment, excellent instructor, high quality materials—couldn’t have asked for a better experience for the collage workshop!

Visiting Jeffersonville for two weeks the fall of 2024 the art museum is the greatest. Beautiful landscape paintings of the New England area. Very inspiring❤️

Very spacious gallery with 3 large rooms featuring local artists and terrain.

This was a great workshop! George was wonderful. His demonstrations were great along with his ongoing dialogue and he came along side each one of us. This was my first workshop so I really didn't know what to expect. Everything was well done and being with the other fellow painters was great fun

Beautiful landscapes showing now. They were very friendly as I was just browsing.

Robert was a great instructor. His knowledge and skill were impressive and he was a good teacher. He combined lectures and demonstrations and gave us time to practice. I had been painting with acrylics for about a year, but I still learned so much! The small class size meant that we could all ask questions and get feedback on our work.

I really enjoyed Annelein's workshop. I was definitely attracted by the focus of two different subjects over two days, floral and portrait. That proved to be extremely enlightening in learning and using the principles of watercolor to accomplish two very different styles of painting. Great workshop! Annelien is an excellent instructor.

My family rented ski and boots here this winter. The staffs were very professional ,nice and helpful. We didn't have to wait a lot and the price was very reasonable. Returning was easy and quick. I would recommend this shop to anyone and we will rent ski equipments here again next time. Also, my son left a jacket with a wallet there and we found it later after we got home. We didn't even ask them, but they mailed it without asking the shipping cost. I am very greatful to them. Thank you,

Great shop for renting ski equipment. Nice selection of equipment in very good condition. Staff has always been very helpful and friendly during all of my past visits to Vermont.

Figured I’d support local boarding shop this year. Went for a season lease, prices were good. The customer service I got was not very professional! The two men that helped me didn’t ask my experience or even the style board and especially the way I rode. This is the first things I was asked in the past when getting fitted. I ended getting the board despite the way it was handled due to convenience and local. My binding strap broke right in half in 20 degree weather. I was accused of riding on gravel/ roads and said I damaged the board this board was not in perfect condition dings and scrapes everywhere on both sides of the board. A week later the new binding they put on wouldn’t latch stay clipped along with the other bindings aswell. I’ve had a similar issue in the past but there was no ice that froze in the binding. Terrible customer service and very unsafe products.

This is where you should buy ALL OF YOUR EQUIPMENT! We have been in and out of this shop for over 30 years to buy equipment as we need it. They have a great selection, friendly and knowledgeable team, and reasonable prices. They are honest about what you need and treat you as a friend.

Danny is a legend. His experience, determination to give a costumer a good experience, and friendly attitude is what snowboarding should be all about. He's a community man! I walked in with a budget, and I walked out with a brand new never summer board, and new bindings, and a hot new wax, all under my budget, and walked onto the mountain all within an hour. This is the best snowboard shop I've ever been too. Sure it's not massive, but it has what you need, and its warm and friendly atmosphere will leave you jittering to get on the mountain! Thanks Danny and everyone at no school!

Why anyone would rent equipment from the on-resort shop at Smuggs is beyond me. The family that runs No School couldn't be nicer, they get you in and out (meanwhile there'll be a 90 minute wait on-resort), and... Wait for it... They're LESS EXPENSIVE!

Fantastic experience! Danny was incredibly helpful and more than happy to answer all of our questions. Prices were more than fair. Can't recommend them enough!

Definitely a hidden treasure for antique lovers. This barn is stuffed full of various seller booths which adds to the variety of items for sale. Literally one of those places where there is something for almost everyone. Very friendly and helpful owner is also a huge plus. Can't recommend enough.

Big and beautiful antiques store. Two floors means everybody will find something to marvel at.

Excellent selection of antique furniture and some smaller items at fair prices.

What a nice place . Lots of cool things to see in a great location. Worth pulling over for a look.

My favorite place but I’m so sad because it looks like there closing soon because the whole first floor is empty go there while you can

What a great selection and the prices are very reasonable... We will definitely be back.

What a great place to explore and shop!

This place is GREAT!! They don’t serve food but they do let you bring food. Their drinks are cheap, the place is clean, iconic, and the staff is very professional and nice. You feel at home from the start. The pool tables are in good shape. Highly recommend.

Strongest and cheapest drinks in the state. Friendly dive bar with folks from all walks. They're working on the food supply. Pool is $0.75 a game with 3 tables and a very nice fools ball table. Fun to watch "beach volleyball " 3 nights a week. Great place!!

Great little local bar. Pool tables and darts are available. Drinks are very reasonably priced.

I was told by a friend to stop here if I went by so I did. We had a great time talking to the two Ricks. Drink was good. Atmosphere was good. Definitely a local dive hang out. Loved it. Outside seating, a few pool tables, and a volleyball court

I am giving this place a 5 because the bartender was very nice and welcoming, the price was right. 2 drinks under 10 bucks. The regulars were nice. There are pool tables and darts. The place isn't dolled up at all but it doesn't need to be. If you are a craft beer drinker, there might be slim pickings.

Super friendly patrons and the bartender. Had a great time throwing darts and enjoying beers. Great digital jukebox. Definitely stop by if you are looking for cheap drinks, local feel and pool/darts.

Great dive bar with super friendly bartender and cheap drinks. Pool tables, dart board, digital jukebox and football on the tvs made this a fun spot to hang before heading out to dinner. No food but chips and nuts.
