Two-Minute Walk to Ski Lifts with Ski Boots on
About this condo rental
Morse Mill Condominium is situated on three acres directly across from the main entrance to Smugglers' Notch Resort and Ski Area which offers some of the best and most challenging skiing in the East. We are not part of the Smugglers' Notch Resort complex. We are the closest privately owned condo to the Resort - just across the road. Our condominium is private but close to the ski action with two decks which look out on to the three mountains that make up the ski resort complex. Check out our website at www.morsemill.com! Cross-country skiing is possible from the door of the condo and the ski slopes are less than a two- minute walk. There are great slopes for children's sledding on the property with sleds provided! We have a rushing brook that cuts through the property and a private pond that children enjoy playing in. There are many swimming holes in the area to cool off in on a hot summer's day. Daycation passes for the Mountainside pools & waterslides and fun zone may be purchased at Smugglers' Notch Resort year round. Zip Line Canopy Tours are available at the Resort and for non-guests. This is the first Zip Line in Vermont. The condominium is approximately 1100 sq. feet. It has an open living room/dining room and fully equipped kitchen. The master bedroom has twins beds with ensuite bathroom; second bedroom a queen size bed; third bedroom a double bed. A fold-down bed is available for an extra person. There is a second bathroom with toilet and shower. The condominium is tastefully and comfortably furnished with a wood-burning Vermont Castings fireplace (firewood provided). We provide bird feed to stock the three feeders on the deck, which attract a wide variety of wild birds. There is a rushing mountain brook that cuts through the property and a pond that attracts wild ducks and other water birds. In the summer, we are a five-minute drive from Stowe, but a 45-minute drive in winter due to the fact that Smugglers' Notch Pass is closed to traffic. Keywords: Condominium

Great location and fun ski hill. No snow, so we spent a lot of time in the condo, therefore it great that there was enough room to play games and watch movies. So easy to get to the mountain!!! Thanks for a great few days. We’d definitely go again.

We loved staying at this property. Very cozy and comfortable. Right across the street from Smuggs Village. Lots of fun. Great place to stay, open floor plan with 3 bedrooms. The beds and comforters were very nice. Plus two full baths. House very well stocked. Highly recommend.

The property was very nice. It was clean with all you would need to enjoy to stay in the area. It is not brand new nor did we expect it to be. The owner was nice and communicated in advance. The upstairs neighbor helped us find the condo which is located on the second floor. There is a office below.

Great place to stay. Away from the crowds in Stowe but directly across the street from Smugglers Notch Ski Resort. Clean, well maintained, and quiet. The stream running through the property was a plus. There’s a hammock and swing to watch the water and chill. It was an easy drive over to Stowe (apparently that road is closed in the winter). I would definitely stay here again.

The property is well maintained, quiet, well equipped with all of the things you get in a hotel room plus more, and the host is always available to help. There is a small dam/pond to enjoy by yourselves as it is private (kinda). Most people are in the public heated pools across the street. Could not ask for better accommodations. Three bedrooms, two baths, a balcony, a deck, full kitchen,,,,,need I say more?

I've stayed in many VRBOs and rely heavily on reviews in choosing properties. My goal in writing a review is to be informative and honest so the renter can decide if the property is a good fit for their purpose. We were there during the busy fall season, during the week.
Pros: Great location for hiking, scenic drives and restaurants that are not in the town of Stowe (traffic near Stowe got busier towards the end of the week and was backed up on Saturday when we left, so we appreciated being further out). Spacious unit with comfortable furniture. Quiet at night. Easy walk across the highway to Smugglers. Kitchen appeared well stocked, but we only ate breakfast there. Good streaming options on TV. Great WiFi. Owners easy to reach and responsive.
Cons: This does not appear to be a typical rental unit. There are 3 units in the building. The one below is some sort of office and the one above had someone there who got up early every morning and left for the day (probably for work). This is a problem if you like to sleep in since you can hear heavy footsteps and creaking floorboards from 6:30-7:00 every morning, including Saturday. The building is older and could use some TLC. The unit is dated, but homey. The main issues we had were the cleanliness and condition of the kitchen/main bathroom. Although it was superficially clean, it needs a good deep clean, including appliances and drawers/cabinets in the kitchen and vacuuming of the sofas (dog fur). The cabinets in the kitchen are worn out, but function ok. The main bath does not have an electrical outlet and the heater did not work, but it was clean.
To be fair, the owners have not been able to check on the unit since March 2020 when the Canadian-US land border was closed so they are relying on their housekeeper and renters to let them know about issues (which we did).
Overall, I would rate this unit a 3.5 (VRBO does not allow this as a rating).

Since my son and I have birthdays within 3 days of one another, we like to go somewhere special to enjoy them. We had found Cheryl's Ski chalet across from the resort. What a wonderful stay we had with abundant wildlife and the beautiful plants and trees. Very much enjoyed the deck with BBQ grill. The brook that runs through the property was also very picturesque. Would definitely recommend for familys.

Great Long Weekend!
The location to Smuggs is fantastic. The property provided all necessary and promised amenities. Plenty of room for our family of four. Would definitely consider staying here again the next time we visit.

Perfect Location
Nicely sized apartment for a family of 4. The location was quiet and very close to Smuggler's Notch, Stowe, and all the hiking trails in between. Would definitely recommend!

Nice home away from home!
We were impressed by the great communication from the owners. They gave us some nice tips about getting discounted ski tickets, activities and where to get groceries, etc.. The condo is right across from the mountain, so it was easy to find. We have small children so we still had to drive there each morning with all of our gear. However, we got there early enough to get a parking spot. It was nice having activities and options available for one child who didn't "love" skiing. She did love tubing and the arcade games.
The condo was spacious and had everything that we needed including laundry facilities. It was a very convenient location. The only thing that prevents me from making this 5 stars is that it was difficult getting our bags up to the 2nd floor. We knew this going in and it probably would not be as big a deal in the summer when we wouldn't need so many bulky clothes. That being said, we enjoyed our week here and would stay here again.

Spacious, comfortable
This was a nice-sized condo with a good set up: comfy sectional couch, big TV with cable, amazing wood stove. It's outdated for sure and the huge master bedroom (with bath) has twin beds in it. So all the kids had huge beds and we were in these tiny twins. It was pretty funny. We had never been to Smuggs before so being located across the street from the mountain felt removed from the action but that is clear on the website. It is close enough and you can walk, but only to the little mountain not the big mountain which wasn't great for us. You can take the beginner lift over to Madonna/Sterling but it's crowded and takes forever . We ended up driving. But the condo is near the base with all of the shops and restaurants, so that's good. For the size of the space and the number of bedrooms it's a good deal for the money.

SuperBowl Weekenders, 2012
Seven adults from Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Florida met at Morse Mill for SuperBowl weekend for some terrific skiing and snowboarding. Smuggs' three mountains were amazing, especially the natural snow in the glades on Madonna and Sterling. Morse Mill was just a few steps away from the main lodge of Morse Mountain, right across the street. We cooked for the whole long weekend with plenty of pots and dishes, while enjoying the woodstove with ready to go kindling and logs. The living space was large for our big group, plenty of room to watch the new tv for the football game. Bluejays and winter sparrows and chickadees visited the deck all day for our viewing, as we gazed at Madonna through the sliding glass doors.

Great location, very clean, love the wood stove!
We were very, very happy with our stay here. You can't beat the location. Very clean, especially the kitchen and bathrooms. We loved the wood stove in the family room. 5 minutes after we walked in, the owner called to see if everything was going OK for us. We would stay here again, no question. Many thanks to Cheryl and Norm.

Thank you Cheryl and Norm...
Thank you Cheryl and Norman for allowing me and my friends to stay at your condo. I stayed at the Morse Mill condo from 1/14/10 - 1/17/10 with my husband and 4 friends (total of 6 adults). The condo is very spacious and fit all of us comfortably. The condo is clean and very welcoming. It has a great view of the mountain and a fire stove that kept everyone warm. The condo is in an excelent location - only a 5 minute walk from Smuggler's Notch resort. We snowboarded at Smuggler's Notch for two days. We were worried that the mountain would not have a lot of good trails but we were wrong. Smuggler's Notch is a great mountain for both beginner and advanced boarders/skiers. It is also not as expensive as other mountains like Stowe. We loved that we could walk and carry our boards to and from the mountain. We had an amazing trip. We hope to return next season!

Cheryl and Norman were very pleasant to work with, and the Morse Mill condo could not have been closer or more convenient to Smuggler's Notch resort. My friends (a family of four) enjoyed staying at the condo, which was clean, spacious and very welcoming. Thanks for all your wonderful communication before and after the rental (even finding out what fish were in the fishing pond!), and appreciate the opportunity to rent from you!

Morse Mill is a perfect location for a vacation near
Smuggs. It is reasonably priced, the owners are very
attentive to your needs, and you feel secluded from
the resort, but still close enough to be involved with
its activities.
