We had a good time browsing through the local maple syrups, clothing, and other Vermont goodies, and there were plenty of options without feeling overwhelming. It's definitely a spot I'd recommend stopping at after taking in the mountain views if you want a fun, memorable keepsake to bring home.

The structure is beautiful and looked like a barn; it was nicely decorated and showcased Vermont as a whole. The restrooms were large and clean; they had changing tables which was a plus. They had a large patio area with many seats. There was even a playground. Parking was plentiful. We went in September around 6:30 pm and outside near the playground, there were a ton of mosquitos. We had to run out of there lol. Overall, it's a great spot to stop and stretch your legs if you're in the area.

Everyone working there was helpful, especially the woman at the main counter. She pulled out some maps and booklets and highlighted some covered bridges we were looking for and suggested a deli near one of them. Sometimes, digital maps and internet access to these things are nice for planning, as we had, but a good old fashioned paper map of the area highlighted by a local, can still be helpful in decision making. The rest rooms were very nice and there was some art in the display room. But the traditional post and beam construction was the main attraction. The parking was ample. Do stop here, whether you need help or not, it was well worth seeing. It truly is a Welcome Center to a very beautiful state.

I love maple flavor and I love soft serve so this is a match made in heaven. I have nothing to compare to so I thought these were great. And they had the creemees available in April, which I understand is not common. Also, I loved all the maple items available for sale and while I didn't get to indulge this time, next visit I'll be doing a maple syrup tasting. There are also Vermont themed items to buy. Service was great. The staff was so kind to our family, which I appreciate. I'm looking forward to returning.

The clerks are friendly, but let you roam without pressure. Prices are high, as you would expect for handcrafted items. They have a public restroom. There is metered street parking out front. Worth a visit and a great place to buy meaningful gifts.

The staff was friendly, and we have the sense they are very much involved in their community, which we strongly applaud. We found some paperbacks we wanted and were pleased to see the store was busy during our visit. We'd endorse a stop here for anyone in the neighborhood.

I would have liked to check it out, but my teenage sons were ready to leave after visiting the gift shop. The gift shop was clearly marked with an arrow to go up the stairs. There were so many cool things, we circled the shop several times and kept finding new items we didn't see previously. Wind chimes, incense, mugs, toys, clothes, kitchen gadgets, paintings, candles, etc. It really had something for everyone. The cashier was very nice and offered assistance while also allowing us privacy to shop without feeling like we were being watched. My only suggestion would be for more souvenir items specific to VT. There were a few but not many. I was able to find some silly things - a VT tic tac toe board and a small map of VT puzzle. There were bottle openers as well, but that wouldn't have been suitable for the friends we were getting gifts for. My son bought himself a multi-tool pen and little notepad. It was a very cool store and I'm glad we stopped in
