If you have never visited a pure maple syrup sugarhouse you will want to visit this one. imagine our surprise when Mister Morse came into the gift shop when we first arrived. He posed for pictures and then took us on a personal tour of the sugar house. We saw a video about the farm and his father. We tasted samples of the maple syrup and he helped us select the best quality.We were not disappointed. Our trip to the sugar house in Waterbury will be one of our fondest memories.

Burr is the humorist seventh generation of Morse men who have carried the process of making real maple syrup. We saw a film explaining the making of the syrup and he pitched his new book. We then got to taste maple soft serve ice cream and wander through the gift shop. My wife found lots of goodies to ship back home. This was definitely a worthwhile stop on our tour of New England.

I purchased a package of 4 small maple candies for $3.95 and a maple moose candy for $1.75. The 4 pack candy was hard and had white spots. The moose wasbetter but not as fresh as i have had at home in CT. My expectation was that the candy should be soft and creamy on the inside with a crystallized layer on the outside. The candies from Morse earned the one star rating. Maybe I just picked a bad package. Also to the left of the front counter by the window was a large somewhat dirty barrel of a dark substance that I assume is used for the maple tours. The top of the barrel was not clean looking and had a paper cup half full of some very gross looking dark gobby substance with some dripping from the sides of the cup. There was a spout on the barrel with some of this substance oozing out. There was no sign that I saw indicating what thiswas but it looked unsanitary and gross.Also earns the one star rating. It was the end of the day and the place was trashed...garbage nearly overflowing. Sample areas sloppy and sticky. On the positive side the view was great with cross country skiers. Place was rustic with lots of neat things on the walls. Syrup we bought was good...but I did hope the nasty barrel or whatever was in it wasn't involved in the making of the syrup or was an example of the sanitary levels of their production process. Positives not enough to outweigh negatives noted.

Although it was Sunday and officially "off-season", this delightful little store was open and the employees helpful and engaging. They eagerly helped us decide on our perfect maple syrup and chatted a bit about life in Vermont. Would definitely return if I ever made it back to this beautiful state.

This is the 2nd Sugarhouse we went to, however, they didn't seem to have as many gifts as the other one we went to, Bragg's. We didn't get any tours at this one. The help was not quite as friendly as Bragg's, but I'd go here again just for the beautiful scenery.

We visited this farm on a coach trip of New England. The owner, Burr, is in his 80's and has a great sense of humour. He described the process to us in detail, and showed a video. He had us in stitches! We tasted Sugar on Snow, the hot maple syrup served on ice with doughnuts and pickle! Very strange, but interesting. The gift shop is very good, and the scenery stunning. Definitely worth a visit.

All the activities occur in the spring time, so being there in October expectations were minimal and my expectations were barely met. An interesting DVD did explain what occurs there in the spring. They have a really nice gift store with everything maple. I probably would have rated this attraction higher, but I felt partially ripped off in the gift store. They sold me a $5.00, fairly small bag of maple popcorn. It wasn't that fresh but my big complaint was I didn't taste any maple flavor. It would have been an OK $2.00 item at most. We bought several jugs of maple syrup. I hope they have more maple flavor than their popcorn!

We arrived right after a bus tour was finishing. We were pretty much ignored! No explanation was given what to do or where to go. I know it is off season but.....waste of time. I could have gotten the same information online.

How could you skip going to a Maple Sugar House? Even off-season?We were there in October, so there wasn't any true activity, but the staff at Morse are super-friendly, you get to see how your syrup is made and you get to buy yummy things. The products (syrup, etc) are amazing and make sure you get a maple creemee while you are there - it's pretty much to die for.

This is a super place and the most interesting highlight of our tour of New England .Burr Morse is such a character and his comedy talk would top the bill at any venue .Go there and enjoy the free samples buy in the gift shop and most of all by the book by Burr called Sugar Words.
