Local Lifestyle

Dining, Entertainment & Shopping

Downtown Jeffersonville harbors more than just incredible eats and a lively community spirit. Snug between the Lamoille River and Brewster River, this beautiful location is home to art galleries, historic districts, local grocers, fashion boutiques, mercantile shops, and general stores able to accommodate the day-to-day needs of residents.

This portion of Jeffersonville is also the location for the Smuggler’s Notch Distillery, which has been chosen by USA Today as one of the top 10 vodka distilleries in the United States. The company’s signature vodka has earned a double-gold medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and even a gold medal from the Beverage Testing Institute.

 For the foodies at heart, there’s a cornucopia of options. For example, 158 Main leans into the New England spirit with its sumptuous array of American fare crafted with both tradition and innovation. Prefer to keep things simple? The Cupboard Deli keeps residents well-fed and satisfied through its menagerie of baked goods, gourmet sandwiches, and deli classics. Village Tavern is a true neighborhood joint. This is a family-friendly spot where mouthwatering pub fare is always made with fresh and locally-sourced ingredients.

Things to Do

Smuggler’s Notch Resort is, without a doubt, the pinnacle of entertainment in Jeffersonville. Particularly popular with families, this resort is a year-round vacation destination that stays busy every season. In the summertime, visitors flock to the resort’s large waterpark, pools, natural basins, and water playgrounds to cool off. Before the name was claimed by the above resort, Smuggler’s Notch referred to Vermont’s most dramatic road, a passage used by the British Army as a supply line in the War of 1812. 

Smuggler’s Notch is open spring, summer, and fall; it traverses Mount Mansfield State Forest to connect Stowe with Jeffersonville. In season, you’ll find breathtaking hiking trails and opportunities for camping along Smuggler’s Notch. The road is designated as a State Scenic Road. Be on the lookout for peregrine falcons.

With fall comes the opportunity to enjoy foliage-viewing boat rides and cool autumnal hikes. In winter, visitors break out their snowshoes and skis to adventure through the surrounding mountainous landscapes. Locals are also just 20 minutes north of the famed Stowe Mountain Resort, a top-notch ski destination with a national reputation for excellence.

 All seasons, save for winter, also offer several social events and live performances throughout the calendar, from a quaint farmers market to music concerts. The adventurous at heart won’t want to miss out on the resort’s year-round zipline canopy tour or its tree-top obstacle courses and climbing adventures.
