Smugglers' Notch Resort is an independent Vermont mountain resort with timeshare accommodations available to Smuggs Club Owners and through Wyndham or RCI exchange arrangements.
Club Wyndham currently lists Club Wyndham Smugglers' Notch Vermont as a resort option, but its own page expressly states that the property is not managed by Wyndham Destinations.
2026 ownership change and the Wyndham relationship
In February 2026, Smugglers' Notch announced an ownership transition involving Bear Den Partners, while the Stritzler family retained an ownership stake.
The current Wyndham relationship is therefore best understood as vacation ownership inventory and exchange access, not as Wyndham owning or managing the independent Smugglers' Notch resort operation.
