Underdelivered
Our stay in Vermont was a tug of war between the beauty of the exterior and the uncleanliness of the interior. We were never given a welcome email from the owner in regards to checking in. The jacuzzi was not clean and did have an odor. The pool and filters were also not clean. The listing says the pool can be heated but upon inquiry while on site, the owner informed us of a "missing part", making the pool very difficult to be in for a long period. The owner was able to get someone on site to clean both the jacuzzi and the pool on day 2 but this should have been done prior to check in. There were electrical issues, which probably explained why the jacuzzi took so long to reach a comfortable temperature to be in. It also affected the kitchen sink garbage disposal intermittently. There were bee hives on the balcony level, making it difficult to enjoy the landscape and the jacuzzi, without a bee or several bees, coming to say hi. The pots and pans were very dirty and upon washing, residue would consequently be lifted up from the bottom of the pan, making it hazardous to use thereafter. There was also mice in the house, leaving feces on towels throughout the vicinity and in the kitchen cabinets. The owner informed us of "high pitched sound mechanisms plugged into outlets to deter them from coming indoors", yet we saw 2-3 different mice throughout our 5 day stay. We did not leave any food unexposed for this to be the case. The screens on the doorways were broken, making for difficult entry and exit. The owner was communicative but only upon inquiry. Had these mishaps been explained prior to check in, we could have been ready for all these negatives. Unfortunate we could not cancel as there was no option to get a refund. I would not recommend coming here.

Needs work
Location was amazing! Pool was perfect, but wished they gave us warning that there was a deep end that non swimmers would have trouble swimming in. The house needs a lot of work. Door knobs coming off when pulled lightly, bathroom flushes not working properly and has to be fixed which was a hassle, lights turning off if sauna is turned on at times, kitchen sink does not drain at all and needs to be fixed, hard to cook. Overall the home needs lots of work. Place has no AC if it becomes too hot, which should be included during extreme hot days. Otherwise it’s pretty chilly during the night time. The property and experience otherwise was amazing especially with little children. Property owner had prompt replies.

Nice getaway in the mountains
This condo offers a nice getaway to the mountains. We chose this condo because of the mountains, pool and tennis court and we thoroughly enjoyed all three. We also loved the outdoor gas grill on the back deck. The owner is easy to communicate with and we appreciated his prompt response to our questions. We traveled with 3 generations of our family and there was something for eveyone. Thanks Nick!

Perfect for a group ski trip
Great property very close to Smuggs. Roughly a 5 minute drive to parking lot 1 giving you access to Sterling Lift, Madonna I and II. The house itself was great overall. The only issues worth mentioning were the electricity in the basement being finicky and the sauna not functioning as a result.

About the host

Host profile image
Our family acquired this unique 12-acre estate in 2013, we have been running it as a family business ever since. In the recent years, some of us have moved to Vermont to enjoy the Life-style and nature of this beautiful state and to get more involved with the business. Each family member collaborates in their area to assure a fantastic experience and constantly try to improve our guests' experience.


We all love the great outdoors, hence we jumped at the opportunity when this property came on the market. We have made immediate improvements and plan to make many more as time and finances allow. We are humbled to have you as our guests. Your suggestions are welcomed and appreciated as we embark on this new adventure. We look forward to communicating with you.

Why they chose this property

The main attribute is the prime location of the property. You will not find another estate privately owned and close enough to Smugglers' Notch in which you can put on your ski boots and walk to the resort.


Secondly but equally important, the beautiful views and scenery in this 12-acre estate. You’ll be amazed at the breathtaking grounds and views. My cousin, Kiri, says there is a sort of 'firewall for the mind that keeps you in the moment'.



Lastly, the welcoming ambiance of the property. The wood finishing and classic decorative style gives and eminent cozy feeling that will mark your stay.

What makes this property unique

A multi ambient property that can host groups of all ages and keep everyone entertained with the exclusive amenities. Smuggler’s Notch Chalet Property is the place where affordable luxury meets comfort.



Thanks to the easy access to the Smugglers Sky Resort, many other activities are accessible at our guests' expense. Some activities: snowmobiling, snow tubing, dog sledding, massage & Yoga, children's & adult ski & snowboard lessons, ice skating and evening entertainment.
