FALL Smugglers’ Notch Resort is nestled amid some of Vermont’s most breathtaking mountain scenery, which comes alive with color as the Fall foliage season matures. In September and October the Green Mountains are ablaze in red, amber and gold with a vibrancy you won’t find anywhere else.

Smugglers’ is the perfect place for a cozy family vacation, couples getaway or family reunion. Take in the views with a mountain hike or walk along a country road, play a round of golf nearby on one of Vermont’s finest courses, enjoy a mountain bike clinic or explore the trails, relax in our heated pool or one of our hot tubs, or simply bask in the Autumn sunshine with a good book.

You’ll feel immediately at home in our resort village with its comfortable condominium lodging and amenities. Most lodging is within a short walk to many of our amenities, including tennis courts, the FunZone indoor family entertainment center, pool and hot tubs, mini-golf, two disc golf courses, and our ArborTrek Treetop Obstacle Course and Zip Line Canopy Tour. From your village home, explore our 3,000 acre mountain playground or visit attractions nearby.

At Smugglers’, you’ll feel a sense of community and belonging that is unique among vacation destinations. Welcome home to the mountains of Smugglers’ Notch Vermont.

Your home away from home.

Far from the hustle and bustle but close to the action, Smugglers’ Notch Resort Village is nestled in the Green Mountains of Vermont. Condominiums are designed around the comforts of home — fully-equipped kitchens, cable TV, fee-based WiFi Internet access, patios or decks, outdoor barbecue grills, and plenty of gathering spots where your family and friends can enjoy each other’s company.

Conveniently accessible to most everything the Resort has to offer, each neighborhood features its own unique amenities and views. Homes sized from studios to five-bedroom townhouses accommodate a wide range of family sizes, preferences, and price points. Choose the setting that suits your style — quiet, wooded seclusion or close proximity to the Village Center.

DID YOU KNOW? The changing colors of Autumn signal that trees are getting ready for Winter. Throughout Spring and Summer, most of the food necessary for a tree’s growth is made in the leaves. This food-making process takes place in the cells containing chlorophyll, which gives leaves their green color. In Fall, partly due to shorter periods of daylight and cooler temperatures, the leaves stop making food.

The chlorophyll breaks down and the green color disappears — red, yellow and orange appear.

The degree of color varies from tree to tree, and from mountain tops to valleys. Only two places in the world have this brilliant foliage — New England and part of Japan. We believe there’s no better place on earth to see nature’s most colorful display than the Green Mountains of Smugglers’ Notch, Vermont!

Easy to get to!
