Smuggs Mountain House w/Hot Tub, Sauna & River

Escape to the mountains at this spacious 3-bedroom Vermont retreat set along the Brewster River at the doorstep of Smugglers’ Notch Resort. With mountain views, room for the whole crew, direct trail access, and a riverside Nordic spa experience, this is an incredible four-season home base for families and groups.

Cross our suspension footbridge over the Brewster River for direct access to the Smugglers’ Notch Resort trail system. Spend the day skiing, hiking, or mountain biking, then come home to a soak in the shared riverside hot tub, warm up in the barrel sauna, or cool off with a natural cold plunge in the river.

A TRUE VERMONT MOUNTAIN RETREAT

This comfortable single-level home combines rustic Vermont character with everything you need for an easy mountain getaway.

The primary bedroom features a king-size memory foam bed and dedicated workspace. The second bedroom has a full bed, while the third is perfect for kids or additional guests with a full-over-queen bunk bed plus a fold-out twin chair.

After a day outside, gather in the living room on the plush leather couch, turn on the electric fireplace, and stream a movie on the 64” Roku TV.

The fully equipped kitchen includes a full-size refrigerator, gas range, oven, dishwasher, cookware, dishes, and everything you need to prepare meals at home. An expandable dining table seats up to eight for family dinners, games, or morning coffee before heading into the mountains.

The home also includes a full bathroom with both tub and shower, in-home laundry, high-speed WiFi, comfortable memory foam mattresses, and soft linens.

CROSS THE BRIDGE & HIT THE TRAILS

One of the most special features of the property is our suspension footbridge across the Brewster River.

Walk across the bridge directly from the property and connect to the Smugglers’ Notch Resort trail system—giving you incredible hiking and mountain biking access without getting in the car.

In winter, Smugglers’ Notch Resort is just minutes away for skiing and riding. In warmer months, step outside for hiking, mountain biking, swimming, and exploring the Green Mountains.

RIVERSIDE HOT TUB + BARREL SAUNA

After your adventures, follow the path down to the Brewster River and unwind at our shared outdoor spa area.

Soak in the year-round hot tub while listening to the river, warm up in the barrel sauna, then take an invigorating dip in the Brewster for a natural cold plunge. It’s our Vermont version of a Nordic spa—surrounded by forest, mountains, and rushing water.

Or skip the cold plunge altogether and simply relax in the hot tub beneath Vermont’s star-filled skies.

A FOUR-SEASON VERMONT ESCAPE

Winter means powder days at Smugglers’ Notch followed by hot tub and sauna sessions. Spring brings rushing water and quiet trails. Summer is for hiking, mountain biking, swimming, and long evenings outside. Fall transforms the surrounding Green Mountains with spectacular Vermont foliage.

You’ll also be close to the restaurants, breweries, shops, and attractions of Cambridge, Jeffersonville, and the greater Smugglers’ Notch area.

GOOD TO KNOW

This home is the upper level of a duplex with a separate private apartment below. Each unit has its own entrance and private indoor living spaces.

The riverside hot tub and barrel sauna are shared with other guests on the property and available year-round.

Quiet hours begin at 11pm to preserve the peaceful setting for everyone. Parties and unauthorized guests are not permitted.

During winter, Route 108 through Smugglers’ Notch closes to vehicle traffic beyond the resort. Although Stowe is geographically close, the winter driving route around the mountain takes approximately one hour.

Whether you’re planning a family ski trip, summer adventure, foliage weekend, or simply want a few days surrounded by mountains and the sound of the river, this is a Vermont getaway built around enjoying the outdoors—and having an amazing place to come home to afterward.
