What guests think

At Smugglers' Notch Resort Slopeside 39, guests praise the scenic setting and family-friendly amenities, while noting that off-season closures and extra fees can limit activities, and that unit quality varies from spacious and comfortable to dated with occasional musty odors.

Service feedback is mixed, with several reports of friendly check-in and helpful staff alongside complaints about rude restaurant hosts and an unhelpful front desk. The area feels remote with limited on-site or nearby dining and grocery options, but access to hiking and the lifts is convenient. Expect an activity-focused mountain stay that varies by season and unit.

This “resort” was ridiculously expensive and not even close to worth the price. This might be a great place for families in the summer but for an overnight stay it was terrible. The rooms are very old and “rustic.” Greatly needs updating and smells very musty and old. They charged a resort fee and there was nothing to do in the fall but use a swimming pool. They advertise four restaurants on property and only one, very expensive restaurant was open. The food was excellent but upscale and not what I was expecting for food options. This place is far away from other towns and we truly had no other options. I would not stay here again because it is too expensive and outdated.

Great place to spend time with family and friends. Lots of options to keep everyone entertained (tennis court, indoor kids play area, several pools including heated one, volleyball and basketball court, small coffee shop and restaurant and tons of activities prepared by hotel staff). Want to come back!

A very family friendly resort with a lot of activities. Unfortunately you may have to pay extra for a lot of the activities. Also some units could use some updates, but bathrooms were more recently updated which we appreciated.

Zero activities were open for children during the week while we were there. There was no shampoo provided in the rooms. The fireplace in our room did not work and we were told that they could not light the pilot light until after we had already checked out. Only one restaurant open that was not very kid friendly. None of this was mentioned at time of booking, had we have known this we would not have booked a stay there and paid a tone of money for o e single night. The front desk was completely unhelpful. I’d never stay here again

When I checked in I was told the amount I paid for the resort did not include pool access. There would be an extra charge if I chose to use the pool or hot tubs. On my receipt I have a Resort fee which I would think would include at least the pools and hot tubs. When I got to my room, I saw a bug in the tub and around the drain was very rusty. Only stayed one night overall not that bad.

Very nice place. Great opportunities for walking and hiking around the property. Our room however was pretty dirty. There was an empty bottle under our bed and a piece of chicken skin left on one of the nightstands. And the AC didn’t work well at all

The inside of our condo was clean and well decorated with everything moose. The condo building seemed dated. There would not have been enough parking at the building if all the units were occupied. The hostess at the upstairs restaurant was rude and unwelcoming. The host at the other restaurant was friendly but disappeared while looking for a table and did not return before we gave up and left. We stayed one night and didn't eat on the property. Our interactions with the restaurant hostess ruined our impression of the property. This was the most expensive room of our trip to VT, NH, ME, MA and RI and definitely not the nicest. Poor value and poor attitudes.

Loved the place and location. also very spacious and could have accommodated family if we traveled with them. The one knock is that while it is listed as a resort / hotel, it was kind of like a rental and had we known earlier, could have planned to carry/buy consumables like coffee beans, sugar, creamer, shampoo, conditioner, moisturizer,…

First, we stayed in the off season, so I can't comment on the ski season condition of the property. I was more than a little disappointed in the unit we were assigned. The property description does state that each individual unit is decorated by its owner, but our unit in no way resembled the pictures on Expedia. It looked like our unit was last decorated in the 70's. Fully furnished, but no starter supply of essential things like coffee or soap. Luckily, the resort store had some great coffee.

I didn’t like that we did not have shampoo or conditioner in our unit! I also thought each unit should carry salt and pepper! The facility was not full and we had a person next to us! I would think you would separate your guests out for more privacy and quietness!

The coolest thing of whole visit was a dear outside our room. The room had carpet. The room AC was great so had to turn on the window unit. The bed faced the microwave and stove that had very bright lights on them. We only stayed one night as a stop through Stowe. I would find another place if you are staying just a few nights.
