Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Pack up your skis and bring the whole family on a long-awaited getaway to crisp mountain air, tall pines, and serene views here at Kestrels Unit #16. Perfectly appointed for entertaining larger groups, this condo boasts a spacious living area complete with a sectional sofa, a stone fireplace to cozy up beside (there’s also one in the master bedroom!), and a flatscreen TV for those memorable movie nights or game nights with the whole gang. Each of the expansive windows looks out to the beauty of the Madonna and Sterling Mountains, so you can soak in the picturesque views of the Vermont landscape while sipping a morning mug of coffee or hot cocoa. Before heading out to the slopes for a day of skiing or hiking, the chef of the group can easily whip up a hearty breakfast and a fresh pot of coffee in the fully equipped kitchen. And a long soak in the jetted tub in the master suite will be a perfect end to each dreamy day.

Guests will also enjoy access to a playground and an aquatic center with indoor and outdoor pools, a hot tub, and a fitness room, located a short walk away.

What's nearby:
This vacation rental is located on the property of Smugglers’ Notch Resort, so you'll enjoy access to some of the finest skiing and snowboarding in the eastern United States. Beginners will love taking it easy on Curley's Cutback and Midway, while advanced skiers can shred Birch Run and Ruthie's. There are ski runs for everyone here, with access to beginner (green), intermediate (blue), and advanced (black diamond) terrain available. Ski school and private lessons are also available for kids (and adults too)! After a day on the slopes, enjoy an après-ski meal at one of the resort’s on-site restaurants, such as Hearth & Candle.

During other seasons, you’ll be just minutes from one of the region’s top disc golf courses, hiking trails, one of the nation’s best ziplines, and a variety of other outdoor activities. Numerous mountain biking trails are located a short ride away as well. In winter and summer, let the free, on-demand shuttle take you anywhere on the resort property, including to the slopes, multiple restaurants, a pizzeria, a convenience store, and even a local Ben & Jerry’s, all located within a short drive in the Smugglers’ Notch village. In the summer, lace up your sneakers and access the village on foot via the convenient walking trail (though the shuttle is still available if you'd rather take it easy).

Hikers will love being a short drive from Vermont’s tallest peak, Mount Mansfield, and other great hiking and walking trails. Bikers and runners will find the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail, New England's longest rail trail at a whopping 93 miles in length, only 14 miles away. You can also see the whole area in a new way with Lamoille Valley Bike Tours or by paddling a canoe or kayak down the Lamoille River.

In addition to on-site shopping and dining located at Smugglers’ Notch, this home is located a short drive from the town of Jeffersonville, home to scrumptious breakfasts at 158 Main and local products at the Farm Store. Those visiting outside of the winter months will be a 28-mile drive through “The Notch” from the quaint town of Stowe, where you can explore the grounds of the famous Von Trapp Family Lodge, tee it up at Stowe Country Club, and take in the views at Stowe Mountain Resort. (Stowe Mountain Resort is only four-and-a-half miles away in the summer and fall, but once snow hits, Route 108 is closed until the snow melts in spring.

Amazing Stay at Smugglers!
This was our first stay in Smuggler's Notch and we didn't know exactly what to expect with our living conditions but we were more than pleased with our stay in Kestrel! The 3 bed, 2 bath condo was perfect for our family of 6. It was clean, spacious and had 2 different balconies. Great views of the mountains as well. We would definitely come back and try to stay in Kestrel again.

Our stay
We were all very happy with our condo and the overall properties. It was clean, spacious and had a great view of the mountains. The kids loved the water slide. We thought the cost of the day pass for the other activities was too much.

Picturesque, updated comfy condo
The quality, comfortable space was perfect for a post wedding gathering had for my niece. The beautiful gas fireplace took the morning chill out of air too. Glad I reserved with VRBO, because other units in resort were very outdated w/fire alarms going off, due to either owned by resort or through Airb&b.

Great ski stay
We were really impressed with this condo! The place was very spacious, extremely clean and had a great layout. We have stayed at Smuggs before and were worried as this condo was a bit further from the slopes than where we had been before (Telemark). However this was a MUCH better experience. The shuttle was extremely convenient and efficient. The condo was warm, cozy and very spacious for 2 families. We cooked/ate all of our meals in the condo without issue. Hope to be able to return to this condo next year.

Dated but cozy accommodations
Dated but cozy accommodations. They could have provided more supplies for the kitchen like hand towels, a cleaning agent, dish rags, trash bags, etc. as this place is pretty remote and hard to obtain supplies. We brought a lot of our own stuff but still needed a few basics. WIFI was not good. Furniture is dated but sturdy and the rooms overall were spacious and laid out well for a comfortable stay. It was quite hot in the unit often even though we kept lowering the thermostat to 67 or 68, not sure if it was working. Overall enjoyed our stay but some easy improvements could be made to make it better.

If you have issues forget getting help orsupport
We were suppose to have a hot tub and swimming pool. There was water in neither. .. My contract stated I would have these amenities. Guess what….not.. I am sure for what I paid for this condo I paid plenty extra for pool and hot tub. I have called at least 7 times and no response. Trust me book with someone else. Forget Vaasa.

Loved this place!
It’s so cozy with the fireplace, and very spacious! We appreciated the l-shaped seating, the variety of TV channels, the hot tub just outside the door, the kitchen appliances…I would just bring a spatula and an oven mitt next time. The only caveat: One son said the mattresses were bad (he’s very fussy); the other said they were bearable. Mine was fine. I would definitely rent this lovely unit again!

Terrible communication using vrbo app
This was my first time using vrbo and it will be my last. First when we arrived we were given the incorrect lock box code. No luck getting anyone on the phone from the app so after close to an hour wait someone from the resort got us in. They told us they'd be back with hour keys which didn't happen. The next morning I went to the help desk to get our keys. At this point they told us we were scheduled to be out of the room that morning when we had paid for another night. The woman at the front desk said she would activate the keys long enough for us to get our things out which made me feel sick. Getting ahold of vrbo was difficult. By the time we made it back to our room the keys had been deactivated. The whole ordeal caused us to miss out on a hike we had planned. No complaints on the room itself, but the hot tub advertised was not in working order either. Would have been nice to know. Overall the whole ordeal with this app has a big impact on our vacation

Graduation getaway
This unit was perfect for our graduation celebration for our son. We brought 5 of my sons friends and the layout of the unit was perfect! The unit had everything we needed and plenty of space for my husband and I to enjoy the space, while letting the kids have their space. They loved being able to walk up to the recreation center to play volleyball or to walk down to the Resort center for some ice cream. We came to the area for the kids to rock climb. The boulder area was close enough that we were easily able to drop them off for the day and then go explore the area. We love this area and this was the perfect place for our group.

Beautiful well maintained property! great value for Smugglers Notch
The property is well maintained and the view from the condo's expansive porch, hot tub and steam shower were popular bonuses with our crowd. Strongly recommend this condo ( the Kestrels) over the older. smaller less appointed condos that are slope side. Extraordinary value for this condo. The only negative comment I can make...I am struggling here... is that there was no spatula. I kept meaning to buy one for the condo but forgot each time I went into Jeffersonville for supplies.
