We had always wanted to go to Smuggler's Notch, but it was always out of our reach financially-speaking. We decided to check out the resort once again while we were exploring lodging options for our recent visit (early November) to Vermont to explore college open houses for one of our sons. Smugg's turned out to be the best option for us! While we weren't there that long (only three days), we had a great time at the resort, especially swimming int the outside heated pool and playing pool and ping pong in the game room. We will definitely want to stay again, but knowing it will have to be in the off-season, which is okay with us.
