Our goal is to ensure you have a blast and create memories with your family. Let’s explore all the amazing experiences waiting for you at Smugglers’ Notch Resort!
Day 1: Arrive and get acquainted with the Resort
You and your family can check in to your room anytime in the late afternoon. Unpack and unwind, or head right out and explore.
After a day of traveling with the kids, relax and recharge with dinner at any one of our many restaurants. Grab a quick slice of pizza at the Village Pizzeria or sit down at the Morse Mountain Grille. Once you’re full and recharged, let the kids experience a Kids’ Night Out at FunZone 2.0 while you take the stage at Bootlegger’s Lounge for Adult Karaoke night. If you prefer a more mellow evening, take the whole family for a leisurely stroll on our self-guided hiking trails.
Day 2: Outdoor Exploration
Morning
Start your day with a leisurely sit-down breakfast at Morse Mountain Grille to fuel up or stop by the Perk Café for a quick latte and pastry before heading out.
Grab the family and join a guided hike to discover hidden waterfalls, panoramic views, and the natural beauty of the Green Mountains. For a truly special experience, the whole family will remember forever, sign up in advance for our Llama Treks. There’s really nothing like a hike and a picnic with a llama.
If your family is up for an outdoor adventure, make sure to try rock climbing, zip-lining, or kayaking at Bootleggers’ Basin, the Resort’s reservoir with some of the best views Smuggs has to offer.
Afternoon
Keep the adventures rolling and explore our extensive network of mountain biking trails, ranging from beginner-friendly paths to adrenaline-pumping downhill runs, or sign up for a guided e-bike tour.
Evening
Enjoy a delicious dinner at a local restaurant or cook up a feast in your condo’s fully-equipped kitchen. Keep the family fun going with our poolside dance party, or wind down with a snack and a dive-in movie.
Day 3: Family Fun and Relaxation
Morning
There’s no reason not to stay fit on vacation. Leave the kids in the condo and join a lap swim or aqua fitness class at Courtside Pool. Afterward, enjoy a leisurely breakfast and plan out today’s family-friendly activities.
Midday
One of every family’s favorite destinations at Smuggs is FunZone 2.0. Your kids will love shooting down a giant inflatable slide, tackling the obstacle course, shooting for a hole-in-one at mini-golf, and trying to take you down in laser tag. While the kids climb the wall, you can cool down with a frozen adult beverage at ReFuel Café.
Refuel at ReFuel Café with lunch, featuring kid-approved favorite options for all ages. Plus, everyone wins at our new make-your-own Sundae bar!

Spend the afternoon exploring the Resort’s pools and waterparks, complete with waterslides, splash pads, and lazy rivers. You can also order a daiquiri or pina colada from the Cabana or ReFuel Café.

Day 4: Farewell Fun
Morning
There is no better way to start your day than with the Friendly Pirate Breakfast at Morse Mountain Grille. The kids can sing along to pirate songs and join the dances and jokes by Rockin’ Ron the Friendly Pirate. Then grab the family and head out for a scavenger hunt to bring everyone together in a little friendly competition.
