Is it your challenge to find a vacation destination that pleases everyone in your family? No challenge at all when you plan your vacation at Smugglers’ Notch Resort in the heart of Vermont’s beautiful Green Mountains. For decades, families have chosen Smugglers’ as their destination for vacations and family reunions. In a welcoming and friendly atmosphere, Smugglers’ offers activities that appeal to everyone from tots to grandparents, a resort village with comfortable lodging and must-have dining and shopping amenities, and proximity to many of Vermont’s top attractions.



Fun for all ages

The mix of activities at Smugglers’ is as varied as the relaxation and recreation interests of today’s families. Nature walks and life size games foster family connection, and sharing outdoor adventures leads to priceless memories. The bird’s-eye view of the forest offered by the guided ArborTrek canopy tour with zip lines, suspension bridges and rappels can be a unique adventure to share for families with children age 8 or older. ArborTrek’s two aerial trekking courses (one course is designed for children as young as four) feature dozens of elements like wobbly bridges and rope swings to explore above the ground.

Water play is typically a must have for families on vacation, and Smugglers’ delivers with eight outdoor heated pools, four waterslides, and two mountainside reservoirs that thrill water lovers. Youngsters frolic in a wading pool with water sprays and a float-through cave, while older children love the waterslides. A water trampoline, floating tubes, fishing, canoeing, paddle boarding and paddle boating are reservoir highlights.



Vacation time is perfect for developing your skills in a new sport or hobby. At Smugglers’, families experience outdoor activities such as mountain biking or Via Ferrata’s blend of canyoneering and rock climbing in a comfortable environment focused on challenge by choice.

Adults may choose to carve out time together on guided hikes or a relaxing yoga class while kids enjoy Smugglers’ renowned children’s programs, engaging ages 3-17 through nature discovery, arts and crafts, and pool and waterslide outings. Specialty camps in tennis, mountain biking, outdoor adventure and survival skills are offered for ages 9-17. Counselors in Smugglers’ Summer Fun University provide a positive and enriching environment that encourages discovery, whether a child is exploring a ropes course for the first time or checking out a stream with an underwater camera.



Your family fun is guaranteed

Smugglers’ vacation packages include mountainside condominium lodging, daily family activities including nature walks, and use of the teen center, pools and waterslides. Packages offer a la carte choice, the inclusion of children’s programs or the inclusion of a full set of adventures from morning to evening. There are no worries with a Smugglers’ vacation or family reunion: a Family Fun Guarantee backs the resort’s commitment to providing a memorable experience that will set the standard for your family vacations for years to come.
