About this property

2BR Riverside Suite @ Smuggs w/ Saunas & Hot Tub

Escape to the mountains at this one-of-a-kind riverside retreat at the doorstep of Smugglers’ Notch Resort. Ski, hike, bike, sauna, soak, play, and explore—all without giving up the comforts of home.

This private 2-bedroom retreat sits along the beautiful Brewster River and is packed with amenities for both adventure and relaxation. Cross our suspension footbridge over the river for direct access to the Smugglers’ Notch Resort trail system, then come home to your own private infrared sauna, Ms. Pac-Man arcade, ping pong table, clawfoot soaking tub, fire pit, and more.

Down by the river, guests share access to our year-round outdoor hot tub and barrel sauna. Warm up in the sauna, soak beneath the stars, or cool off with a natural cold plunge in the Brewster River for your own Vermont Nordic spa experience.

INSIDE THE RETREAT

The primary bedroom features a king-size memory foam bed, wall-mounted Roku TV, dedicated workspace/vanity, and closet.

The second bedroom is especially fun for families and groups, with a full-over-queen bunk bed with memory foam mattresses, a convertible sofa bed, wall-mounted Roku TV, and classic Nintendo gaming console.

The living space is designed for hanging out after a day in the mountains. Challenge each other to a game of ping pong or Ms. Pac-Man, stream a movie, or simply settle in and relax.

Your fully equipped kitchen includes a full-size refrigerator, 4-burner gas range, oven, dishwasher, cookware, dishes, and the essentials for everything from morning coffee to dinner at home.

PRIVATE SAUNA + CLAWFOOT TUB

No need to leave the suite for a little après-ski relaxation. You’ll have your own private 2-person infrared sauna—especially welcome after a cold day on the mountain or a long hike.

The bathroom features a vintage clawfoot soaking tub with an overhead rain-style shower. Please note that there is not a separate walk-in shower.

YOUR OWN OUTDOOR SPACE

Step outside to your private picnic area with a fire pit and propane grill, surrounded by the woods and sounds of the Brewster River.

The property includes several hundred feet of private river frontage, with trails, gardens, and seasonal hammocks for exploring and relaxing.

RIVERSIDE HOT TUB + BARREL SAUNA

Follow the path down to the Brewster River and you’ll find our shared outdoor spa area, featuring a year-round hot tub and barrel sauna overlooking the water.

Go from sauna to hot tub to an invigorating dip in the river, or simply soak beneath the stars while listening to the water rush by.

CROSS THE BRIDGE & HIT THE TRAILS

One of the most unique parts of staying here 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 the warmer months, the surrounding mountains become a playground for hiking, mountain biking, swimming, paddling, and exploring.

STAY CONNECTED

High-speed Starlink WiFi makes it easy to stream, work remotely, or plan the next day's adventure. Parking is available for up to three vehicles, and EV charging is available on the property.

A FOUR-SEASON VERMONT ESCAPE

Come for powder days and après-ski sauna sessions in winter, rushing water and hiking in spring, swimming and mountain biking in summer, or spectacular foliage in fall.

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

Please note that this is a private lower-level apartment within a larger home and has its own separate entrance and private indoor living spaces. The riverside hot tub and barrel sauna are shared with other guests on the property.

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

Whether you spend your days skiing, hiking, biking, exploring the river, or doing absolutely nothing beyond alternating between the sauna and hot tub, this is a Vermont getaway designed to make the time away feel special.

Overall, we had a great visit to the Smuggs area and the unit was fun and acceptable for our needs, albeit some info about the unit was left off the listing or under communicated... ProsLocation! This rental is practically at the base of Smuggs, with easy access to both the mountain and disc golf. Walking distance to a pizza joint and nice brewery. 30 mins to Stowe and 1 hr. from BurlingtonThe unit is full of games of all kinds for kids and family fun!The available amenities were great (hot tub and saunas)The beds were comfortable and spacious, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook a few mealsConsThe bulk of the property was under construction (septic?) and not communicated. Several of the amenities were unavailable (backyard, bulk of picnic/firepit area, outdoor shower) due to the sameBASEMENT apartment, below a larger rental, and the two families above had no respect for those below (loud floor) stomping from 6 am to 11 pmThe bath tub-shower combo, although unique, was very difficult for anyone over 5'10" to use, and the advertised outdoor shower was not available to supplement as others had commented. Floor will be wet and require cleanup after each useThe lack of the outdoor shower also led to the hot tub being unusable after the aforementioned families used on the second night (Green, slimy, and filled with mud/mulch) I would recommend this unit to a large family who can rent the full house as a whole and enjoy the facilities without issue!

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts, Christian. I’m glad you enjoyed our apartment’s location, games, and spa amenities, and I appreciate your feedback—I'll be working to improve communication and make sure everything is ready for future guests. I did let you know about the temporary site work being done, but I'm sure I could have communicated more clearly to better set expectations

Tyler was very responsive and polite with any needs we had. Although it is a basement apartment, it was very cozy and had everything we needed. We especially liked how it was located on a dead end road that had a fire pit overlooking the woods and a river nearby. The shower in the tub was difficult to use, but we really liked the outdoor shower. The hot tub overlooked the river and my children loved it. We would stay here again. Thanks Tyler!

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
We’re Vermont-based hosts who love creating unique places for people to unplug, explore, and enjoy the outdoors. Our properties are designed to be memorable stays — cozy, thoughtfully built, and connected to nature — whether you’re visiting for adventure, relaxation, or a little of both. We enjoy hiking, skiing, traveling, and discovering special places ourselves, and we try to bring that same sense of care and attention to every guest experience. Our goal is simple: provide clean, comfortable, one-of-a-kind spaces and be responsive, friendly hosts so you can focus on enjoying your trip.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood because it offers the perfect combination of natural beauty, outdoor adventure, and small-town Vermont charm. The property sits along the Brewster River with private river access, giving guests peaceful spots to relax, walk, or enjoy the water. Being right next to Smugglers’ Notch Resort means you’re steps away from hiking, skiing, snowshoeing, and mountain biking, while still enjoying a quiet, private setting.

We love this area because it feels like a true Vermont escape—towering Green Mountains, seasonal foliage, birdsong, and the sound of the river create a serene backdrop for every stay. At the same time, Johnson and nearby Stowe offer local restaurants, craft breweries, and charming shops, so you can explore Vermont culture without traveling far. It’s a neighborhood that perfectly blends adventure, relaxation, and authentic Vermont scenery.

What makes this property unique

This riverside suite stands out for its combination of fun, relaxation, and mountain access. Guests enjoy a private infrared sauna inside the suite, access to a shared riverside barrel sauna, a year-round outdoor hot tub, arcade games, ping pong, and a clawfoot tub with rain shower. The property offers direct access to the Brewster River and is located immediately next to Smugglers’ Notch Resort, providing easy access to hiking, skiing, and outdoor adventure. This makes it a one-of-a-kind Vermont experience for families, friends, or couples seeking a playful and relaxing mountain getaway.
