Ski Stash Smuggs is a privately owned open-plan studio condo for up to five guests inside the Smugglers' Notch Resort village in Jeffersonville, Vermont, about 50 yards from the Morse Mountain village lift.

Some mountain stays sell square footage. This one sells proximity. The Morse Mountain village lift at Smugglers' Notch sits about 50 yards from the door, a short downhill walk or ski when the snow allows, and everything a party of up to five needs fits in one warm, open room: a king bed, twin bunks and a queen sleeper sofa.
The room is small by design and generous in its details. Warm wood floors run from the door to the glass. A corner gas fireplace, set in stone tile, anchors the evening. The round table seats four for breakfast, cards or a long dinner. Sliding doors open to a private balcony with two chairs and a side table, the trees close and the mountain beyond. There is a full kitchen, one full bath, and a shelf of board games, movies and books for the hours after the lifts stop.
Winter is the obvious reason to come. Boots by the door, a fire on by four, the day's runs still in your legs. But Smugglers' Notch keeps its promise all year. Summer brings trout ponds, rivers and trails. Fall brings color to the ridges above the Notch. Couples will find it quiet and easy. Families will find it clever: parents in the king, children in the bunks, the sofa for whoever lost the coin toss.
Ski Stash Smuggs is a single open room of about 500 square feet at Smugglers' Notch, arranged so that sleeping, cooking, dining and the fire each have their own place.

Sliding glass doors open to your own balcony, furnished with two chairs and a side table. Mountain and resort views, morning coffee, a glass of wine at dusk.
Stove, oven, refrigerator, cookware, dishes, a knife block and the everyday essentials. A breakfast bar with stools and a round table that seats four.
High-speed Wi-Fi, a wall-mounted TV, board games, movies and books. Guests note free laundry access with supplies. Self check-in by smart lock, free parking and a window air-conditioning unit for summer.

Summer at Smugglers' Notch starts on the Sterling Pond Trail, which climbs 1.1 miles and about 1,000 feet from Route 108 in the Notch to Sterling Pond, known as Vermont's highest-elevation trout pond. The Brewster and Lamoille rivers are made for swimming, kayaking, canoeing and trout fishing, and the Grist Mill Covered Bridge, built around 1872, marks a favorite river spot. Book ahead for a seasonal farm-to-table dinner at Valley Dream Farm.

“We stayed here for three nights with my wife and our two elementary school–aged kids, and it was cozy, comfortable, and exactly what we needed to reconnect and rest after full, eventful ski days.
The location is fantastic—true ski-in/ski-out—with convenient parking. The kitchen was well stocked with all the essentials, and the views from the windows overlooking the mountain were a real highlight.
We’d absolutely stay here again the next time we come back to Smugglers Notch.”
“I highly recommend Eric’s place. It was very spacious for 2 people. The bed was very comfortable. It was nice having access to free laundry with supplies. There was a lovely view from the balcony with 2 chairs and side table.”

“The room is spacious with board games, plenty of DVDS, quiet, really a nice place to stay. It is a family paradise even if you don't buy the daycation or whatsoever in summer. There's a lot to enjoy for free on the facility and close by with a car. A great river to enjoy on hot days at the Grist Mill Covered Bridge. Sports, nature, peace at his best. Would come back.”
“Beautiful spot. Everything was very clean and convenient for our use. Would stay here again.”
