The Gnome Village is a designated area in the woods where guests, young and old, gather to build homes for our pint-sized, mythical mountain residents. Constructed from natural supplies found nearby (think twig and branch framing, bark shingles, pinecone chimneys, and pebble patios), these fairy-sized lodges are built to suit, your vision. There\u2019s\u00a0gnome wrong way\u00a0to build a gnome shelter. It\u2019s a lesson in eco-friendly creativity, and the results are as charming as they are biodegradable. Families often return to \u201ccheck on their gnome,\u201d and some even leave tiny letters in the mailbox provided in hopes of correspondence with their garden dwelling friends.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1cf839d359632de75d1bd84a3d322935\">The Gnome Village is located on top of the hill between the Village Center and the Mountain Bike Park. Follow the paved path between Mountainside Water Park and the Village Lodge, take the staircase to the top, look to the right, gnome way you can miss it.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.smuggs.com\/resort-info\/hours\/\">Hours of Operation<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.smuggs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/CHECKIN_6_30_2025-R18.pdf\">Weekly Activity Guide<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-60b43b624ea1fd3d5af59c84e061887d\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"\ud83d\udcf2\" class=\"wp-smiley lazyload\" style=\"height: 1em;max-height: 1em\" data-src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/15.1.0\/72x72\/1f4f2.png\">\u00a0Text Smuggs to 855-421-2279\u202ffor real-time alerts about weather updates, schedule changes, and more!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smuggs.com\/views-from-the-notch\/theres-no-place-like-gnome\/\">There\u2019s No Place Like Gnome<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smuggs.com\">Smugglers\u2019 Notch Resort Vermont<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Conditions &amp; Atmosphere Weather:\u00a0Showers and thunderstorms before 3pm, then showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm between 3pm and 5pm, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms after 5pm.
