Smugglers' Notch Resort sits just minutes away—a family-focused ski-and-ride mountain perfect for winter skiing and summer mountain-biking. The famous Smugglers' Notch (Route 108) itself is a dramatic, boulder-lined mountain pass (closed to cars in winter) with excellent hiking, scenic drives, and photo opportunities.
The Lamoille Valley Rail Trail is a long four-season multi-use path running through the valley, ideal for biking, walking, or snowshoeing. In the village of Jeffersonville, explore galleries and cafes celebrating the Cambridge arts scene and local creativity. Nearby, discover a covered bridge and the Brewster River swimming holes for summer dips and exploring.
For agritourism, visit Boyden Valley Winery and explore area farms and sugarhouses, where you can taste local maple syrup and farm products. In warmer months, take a day trip to Stowe, about 30 minutes over the Notch, for additional mountain activities, shopping, and dining.
