Experience the Perks of Full Ownership

As a Full Owner, you own your condominium outright, just like any other real estate property. This gives you the flexibility to enjoy your home whenever you want while having the option to participate in our renter program for additional income.

Enjoy access to the same fantastic facilities and programs available to our renting guests this summer! Highlights include tennis, pools, miniature golf, waterslides, award-winning children’s programs, and family entertainment.

Enjoy all the winter magic Smugglers’ has to offer! Highlights include outdoor ice skating, tube sliding, FunZone 2.0, evening family entertainment, and Ski & Snowboard Camp & Group Lessons discounts.

You can rent another or similar home at a significant discount as a Homeowner. If you wish to return to Smugglers’ and your home is unavailable due to rental, you can secure another available home by paying the homeowner lodging portion and the housekeeping fee. This program offers true flexibility, ensuring you and your family can enjoy a seamless and cost-effective return to the resort whenever you choose.

As a homeowner, other Owner benefits include charging to your Homeowner account, Child Care, Ski & Snowboard rentals, and all regularly priced Sport Shop merchandise.

Our renter program is designed for Full Owners who want to enjoy homeownership benefits while earning potential year-round rental income. Participation in the program is voluntary, and Homeowners who join can access exclusive benefit programs.

Rental proceeds—minus our commission and fees—are remitted to you quarterly. A current rate listing showing the gross rental rates for condominiums is available. To participate, Full Owners must make their homes available for rental at least 75 days during the Winter season each year.

Our rental commission covers a range of services, ensuring a seamless experience for both homeowners and guests:

✔ Preparing your home before a renter’s arrival
✔ Providing fresh towels and linens upon request
✔ Thorough cleaning after each renter’s departure
✔ Marketing and promotion of Smugglers’ Notch to attract vacationers and potential buyers
✔ Guest services support, including reservations, telephone assistance, and administrative services
✔ Coverage of all travel agent fees
✔ Access to resort facilities and programs for guests

This program makes maximizing your home’s rental potential easy while we handle the details. Let us take care of everything while you enjoy the benefits of ownership!
