Maple Leaf Retreat Ski-in, Ski-out condo at the epicenter of the best of Vermont.

Tucked away at the acclaimed Smugglers’ Notch Resort in the northern Green Mountains – a four-season destination with outdoor adventures, mountain fun and easy access to Stowe and Burlington.

We offer four beds in our newly updated condo, a fireplace, pine wood paneling, ski-in/ski-out access, hiking, mountain biking and more…Plus a balcony with a dazzling maple tree.
Close to Morse Mountain and Village Lifts!

LAUNCH PAD LOCATION
Maple Leaf Retreat is in the east village at Smugglers’ Notch Resort, just 25 minutes* from the quintessential Vermont downtown of Stowe. And about an hour from Burlington which is nestled along Lake Champlain.

Near our place, you can go hiking on the long trail, swimming, kayaking, canoeing and trout fishing on the Brewster and Lamoille rivers – there are even waterfalls and swimming holes framed by canopies of trees. Over at Lajoie Stables, ride a horse through the woodlands or go on a sleigh ride in winter. You can also visit maple syrup farms or swing by Boyden Valley Winery & Spirits to taste small-batch maple bourbon, crème liqueurs and wines. And for a dining experience among nature, book a farm dinner and hayride at Valley Dream Farm.

All this, and we haven’t even gotten to the resort activities that are steps away from this centrally located condo.

Hike and mountain bike along wooded trails or head up to Sterling Pond for a picnic and fishing at the highest-elevation trout pond in Vermont. Bring your competitive spirit to the basketball, tennis and sand volleyball courts. Or slow the pace with shuffleboard, horseshoes or disc golf on two courses.

There are also scenic picnic areas and playgrounds throughout the resort. Come winter, explore three mountains – Morse, Madonna and Sterling – which offer more than 1,000 acres of terrain for skiers and snowboarders. From our condo, you have ski-in/ski-out access as the village lift to Morse Mountain is about 50 yards away (you can ski down to the lift from our place).

Please note: Some resort activities like indoor pools, funzone, mini golf, tennis, disc golf and winter mountain sports have a fee; see the “Other things to note” section for information about a resort daycation pass which provides access to another tier of seasonal amenities for a flat fee.

BALCONY
Out on our balcony, you may want to stay a while. Your view is of a glorious maple tree that glistens in the sun and rustles ever so in afternoon breezes. Take a seat and let go as sunlight streams in through the leaves. And in fall, just wait until you see its rich red color against the blue sky. It’s spellbinding.

LIVING & DINING AREA
Our living and dining area invites you to relax after a day exploring Vermont. A cozy mountain vibe is anchored by a beautiful pine wall and vaulted ceiling that slopes upward. Sit back and talk for hours on our comfy gray sofa. Bask in the amber glow of the electric fireplace. And cue up Netflix for a movie night. Stovetop popcorn and a Stowe-based Heady Topper beer pair well here!

During the day, natural light filters in through sliding glass doors – making this a peaceful place for a meal at our dining table for four. Kids can also color and work on puzzles here.

KITCHEN
Our open kitchen is filled with pine cabinets in a warm honey hue. There’s plenty of space to prepare a family picnic or cook delicious dinners for your crew. We have all the kitchen tools and dishware you’ll need. And these appliances: A refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave and dishwasher. In the morning, coffee is on us – we provide K-Cup pods for the Keurig.

And when you want someone else to do the cooking, restaurants at the resort include Morse Mountain Grille for hearty breakfasts and Village Pizzeria for custom pizzas and wings. Please check the resort website to see which eateries are open during your stay.

3 BEDS DOWNSTAIRS
Two twin beds are located in a nook by the kitchen. This is an inviting space with a skylight above in the vaulted ceiling. Homey touches include pine wood wainscoting, bedside tables, blue lamps and throw blankets. We love the wooden snowshoe and framed ski trail maps in here.

Over in the living room, get a good night’s sleep on the pull-out sofa bed that sleeps two.

LOFT BEDROOM
A staircase off the kitchen takes you to our loft bedroom. Here, a king bed sits beneath a high ceiling with a wood beam. Our skylight brings in natural light – and a blue sky view. You’ll also find more pine wainscoting, wooden nightstands and lamps, and color pops of blue on the bed. There’s also a smart TV and shelving for your belongings.

2 FULL BATHROOMS
The en suite bathroom for the loft bedroom has a large mirror and walk-in shower. Downstairs, this bathroom comes with a bathtub / shower combination so you can soak away any aches after hiking or hitting the slopes. Both bathrooms also have these touches: Pine wood cabinets and glass shelves for your toiletries.

And don’t worry about bringing shampoo, conditioner and body wash. We’re happy to provide these for you.

BUILDING AMENITIES
Our building has extra amenities that make your stay even better. A laundry room with complimentary washers and dryers is on the first floor. As is a ski locker room for storing your winter gear (bring your own lock). The Mountain Massage Center offers spa treatments ranging from a maple sugar massage to a princess experience for kids. And don’t miss the sauna! There is also a library room where resort classes take place. In addition, our building is near the Treasures child care center.

Guest will have access to the condo, library, laundry, ski lockers and any public areas of the resort such as picnic areas, outdoor playgrounds, basketball court, shuffleboard, skate park, and hiking and biking trails.
