We came here on a weekday afternoon and had the place to ourselves.

You will find Golf in Miniature just down the street from the Riverside Inn. Its in the front of a…read moresmall hotel/resort. What you will be hard pressed to find is someone to take your money so you can play. A bell, sign instructing what to do if attendant isn't there, or an actual person would have been appreciated. The course itself was surprisingly spartan yet challenging. There were very few barriers or walls to keep the ball in play. The surface ran the ball very fast, and the slopes of course really pushed the ball into sand traps and behind rocks. Its a full 18 holes, so get ready for a bit of frustration. My favorite part about this park was that they call it "Golf in Miniature" not mini-golf. It made me want to yell "Fore!" and take swing... There was also the very attentive cat that followed us around as an added bonus.

Great place for a group (although I think they limit 5-6 people per group so we split into two)…read more The course was super interesting, lots of holes and they have tons of fun ball options! Highly recommend

Wow. Get ready for some serious skiing. If you are into rough ungroomed and magnificent moguls,…read moredrops, trees, and cliffs you have found the place. You will not confuse this with Vail's well groomed and gentle slopes. This place is serious. Ok, I don't do mougls. I don't do cliffs. And trees are best viewed from a distance if I'm on my skis. But I confess to loving this place. Just WOW. It was my first visit 9Feb26 but it won't be my last. Young at heart and needing a place to show off your creds on the moguls then go here and bypass Stove. The snow here is far superior to Stowe and I think it's because they face north; no ice but lots of hard pack and soft underfoot. I skied top to bottom over three hours on some wonderful groomed steep blues and blacks. I saw the moguls as I roared past. I wish. I cannot. If you can go for it. (C you know who I'm talking to!) It's old school. The lifts are all doubles. There is no high-speed. And the views you get are to be considered worth the ride. Seventeen minutes to the top with a view of Mt. Washington in the distance. Did I say WOW. The base is a bit confusing for the first timer so here's some advice. - the first entrance is the hotel and baby slopes. - drive up the road for lot 3 on the right but don't park yet - turn left and drive up to the lodge and unload your gear - the driver can drive back down to lot 3 and park. - plenty of cubbies in the lodge and places to gear up - there are three main lifts here. get a map. Have fun. I'll be back.

Everything could be improved. Everything is old and outdated in the resort…read more Our shuttle on our first day had a leaky window with rain water constantly streaming in. When another rider asked the driver if they really made him drive the bus with water pouring in. The driver explained that the shuttle was mothballed but they had to resurrect it because the mechanic had been out sick and the resort didn't have enough operating shuttles for Christmas week. The glaring issue was the "on demand" shuttle system which was terrible and had extremely long wait times. They just rolled out a new Smuggs Go App (think Uber for shuttles but awful). Multiple times my family including young kids would be left waiting in single digit/negative temps as empty shuttles went by or drivers told us there would another coming despite them having room to bring us down the hill. Even the shuttle drivers were complaining about the app and how it was supposed to be rolled out in the summer for a test run but instead was rolled out a week or so prior to our trip at Christmas time. The drivers said it was done to save paying a dispatcher but they might want to pay that dispatcher as the old system was much better as we had never experienced these issue before when we have come. Almost every family we encountered expressed their extreme disappointment with the shuttle system with many saying it's the reason they will never come back. Due to the app you should not plan on trying to go back to your condo to make lunch with your kids due to the hour wait times to get back to the house and then the same wait time to get back to skiing. Instead try to eat some of the awful cafeteria food at the "lodge" or in the village. Only decent thing is the slope side waffle cabin! If you want to spend your whole vacation waiting...waiting to ski because snow makers blew the snowmaking guns on the chair lift icing it over and covering it in man made snow (which somehow no one realized until the start of the ski day (resulting in the delaying of kids lessons actually starting)...waiting for 60-70 minutes for shuttles to pick you up every time you try to go anywhere...waiting in massive lift lines because all the lifts are shut down...then Smugglers Notch might be your spot. If you want to actually ski and do activities without spending multiple hours a day waiting, I would go anywhere but here.

There's…read morenothing flashy or eye-catching here: the mini golf course doesn't have thematic obstacles, and the holes need a little TLC, as the turf has been roughly patched and is running bare in some spots. The bats at the batting cages are battered, and most of the clubs available at the driving range aren't from this century. But despite the need for repairs, this place truly does offer a fun spot for family and friends to gather for outdoor activities. Even though the hole designs weren't the most fun I've ever played, I enjoyed my round, and thought it was beautiful with the waterfalls, flowers, and greenery surrounding the course. On top of that, the girl working the desk was incredibly friendly and helpful, which made for an even better experience. Don't go in expecting the nicest equipment or facilities, but you can definitely plan to have fun here!

A gate code is needed to access the campground. We rented a cabin here. There are four. Two of them are 'deluxe' and have indoor cook tops. The others do not allow indoor cooking and have grills outside. The kitchen was very well kitted with everything you could need. The Deluxe cabin we rented was decorated in a cabin style with bear and moose motif items. A table for two in the kitchen, a couch for two or three and a nice rocker. A small desk is in the corner of the livingroom with a kitchen chair for seating. Hooks for coats and a place for shoes by the door. The gas fireplace is shut off in the summer because the pilot heats up the cabin. They are on from Septemer 1st. The bedroom has a queen bed, (linens and blankets provided) full dresser, bedside tables, another kitchen chair (a total of four in the cabin) and luggage rack. Two narrow closets included hangers, extra pillows and towels for the pool or hot tub. Three quarter bath was well maintained. Two bath towels and one hand towel. Hand soap on vanity. Hair dryer and extra TP under sink. Shelves for toiletries. Clothes hook on back of door. Two seats and a table are on the front porch. Our parking space was in front of the porch. A picnic table and firepit are to the right of the porch, at the end of the parking space. Our porch faced the gravel road into the campground. The campground is tiered from the road down to the river with camper spots on each tier. No spots are directly on the river. A field designated as a dog exercise area is next to the river, then a small, rocky beach to the river. The road noise is heard throughout the campground, even at the brook where the river babbles over the stones, which is very pleasant. The onsite store rents tubes for riding the river. A path to the left of the dog area ends where you can put the tube in the water, ride it to the end of the beach and repeat the process. Laundry, public bathrooms and shower bathrooms are in a newer, climate controlled building near the playground. A pass code is needed to enter. Two pools and a hot tub are near the office/store. Mini-golf is behind the store. Dump station on the way out near the dumpsters. Gravel roads are maintained. Some site have full hook-up, fire pit and picnic table. Very pet friendly.
