Kristen was wonderful! We came to Vermont to go snowboarding for 3 days and 2 nights. Whenever we…read morecame back from the mountain there was delicious warm cookies waiting for us. In addition, the house is adorable! Kristen made us breakfast each morning that was incredible. The apple pancakes were some of the best pancakes I've ever had and there was always plenty to eat. Our stay in was enjoyable and comfortable! Kristen definitely made us feel at home.

When we arrived, we were given a warm welcome by Candy. She was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area and had some great recommendations!! We recommend dining at the Wethersfield Inn nearby for a 5-star dining experience!! After a great day of skiing, it was nice to come "home" to a plate of homemade brownies and relax. And breakfast the next morning was excellent, all cooked to order by the chef, Patrick. Mostly all of the ingredients were locally sourced and organic. Got to try that bacon!! We will definitely be back for another stay.

Cute little shop with candies, souvenirs, maple syrup and maple creamers (maple soft serve)…read more We got a couple, one with maple crunchie toppings. In looking at the wall, it looks like they have won lots of awards for their maple syrups!

Ever go to a place so much you forget you never did a Yelp review?…read more Well this place is a gem. Sure the candy or the wine is nice. And the local souvenir gifts are a plus. But you come here in part for three things: the maple syrup (nuff said), the view, and the Maple Creemees. We could call it soft serve but well, Vermont. The creemees are delish. Affordable and big they are perfect on a summer day, a fall, day or even a winter day. Then take it out and eat by the lake? Heavenly. Nice people. Well worth the stop.

Feeling lucky to have this place in walking distance!

Amazing store, a must-stop when visiting Vermont…read more Their clothing selection is wonderful. Lots of 100% cotton sweaters and clothing items- that's hard to find. I ended up buying a beautiful barn coat and two 100% cotton sweaters. Go upstairs! That's where all the clearance items and bargains are. We bought a few cotton dresses on sale. Set aside some time. If you enjoy retail therapy, this is your place. Don't rush. There's something for everybody from candy, shoes, housewares, clothes, hats and socks. Five lovely stars! You've got a new customer for life!

They have clothing, games, beauty products, home decor, souvenirs snacks and food and more! The employees were friendly and helpful and I will definitely go back when I am nearby. They have an ice cream stand " Miranda's" ( named after the family "matriarch") with a few lunch items. They serve "Creemee" soft serve which is outstanding ( I don't usually get soft serve but this is something special).

The restaurant was closed at The Vermont country store so we came across the street for sandwiches…read more I had country ham and cheese on white bread, lettuce and tomato. The bread and veggies were fresh, the ham was tasty but I was disappointed with the size for the price. There was very little ham and it came with nothing.....for $9.99. So add in a tiny bag of chips for $2.99 and your sandwich+ chips is almost $13.00.( I was not looking for an overstuffed sandwich, just more than a couple of ounces of meat). The fudge was great, we all got some and the cheese selection was good and the souvenirs were very nice.

Wow . What a store ! We were driving back from Vermont to New Jersey and stumbled upon the store on…read morethe way... it surely is a hidden gem . They not only have a lot of gifts and collections, but also have a store that sells cheese and fudges.. and of course they have a great sampler so people can taste it and buy the best.. we tried jalapeño cheese, and it was truly magnificent... Women selling the cheese was so patient and smiling.. They had a wide range of fleece T-shirts and Vermont magnets and other gift items... they had some fleece on sale and we got it for 14.99. It was worth it... not sure if they are new or used ones but they looked clean.. parking outside is good.. overall had a very good experience... thought of giving a four star, but this one sure it deserves a five star...

Located in Manchester VT a very homey little candy shop…read more You walk into this place in Manchester and just kinda think...why does this store fit perfectly for where I am at at this moment? It's truly a pleasant little store. The lady seemed a little weirded out when my brother and I first walked in. We were in Manchester for the night, on our way back to NY from a week in Maine. She looked at us like....hmm I dunno, don't wanna say anything mean bc she wasn't mean lol, she just looked at us ... weirdly lol. Not sure how else to put it. As our visit went on she ended up being very nice. I just hope she didn't think we were in there to like...steal a couple pieces of candy hahaha. I mean, we aren't 10 years old anymore lol. She then went on to tell us about the store and how all the candy is made there (pretty sure that's what she said). I just remember thinking....how wonderful that this stuff isn't imported from places like...ugh China! They have everything! Every possible kind of candy you can imagine...she has it. She gave us a free sample and it was amazing! There are few great candy shoppes in Manchester. This one is definitely one of them. Prices are a little...high. Just a heads up if you go here. Couple things to consider as to why tho... 1) it's Manchester VT. It's a very bougie little town. Only makes sense most things are pricey there 2) privately owned 3) candy is made on site 4) it's Manchester Vermont lol Should this stop you from going? Absolutely not. Even if you're just in to look...it's worth it. Really a cute store. I hope to return to it one day. Living in Idaho, I rarely make it to Vermont lol. BUT IF I DO! I will for sure head back into Mother Myricks! Thanks for reading, YelperMyrickers! Cheers!

From Mother Myrick's in Manchester, VT, we bought a few chocolate-covered orange peels,…read morechocolate-dipped apricots, along with a box of toffee covered with milk chocolate and ground almonds. I also bought a peach-raspberry muffin and a blueberry muffin. The muffins looked great but were without ANY flavor. Downright awful, not sure what that was about, but the chocolates were very good. I don't think they were quite as good as Lake Champlain chocolates, but they were a close second. I always appreciate the freshness factor (in addition to flavor), so it mattered that the orange peel and apricots were very fresh. If we are ever in the area, I'd come back here for sure, but I'd stick with the chocolates only. No more baked goods !

My wife has been going here since she was a kid. They have delicious chocolates, fudge, truffles with flavors like marzipan and various cremes. You can make your own assorted box and pick your own from the case or they have prepackaged as well. They have a good selection of old school candies like candy buttons, sour patch kids, rock candy and the like. They get creative with things like "reindeer corn" around the holidays and themed stuff for Valentines, etc. I also like how reasonable their prices are-they are more than fair and affordable. If you need a good treat, stop by. Easily found off beautiful walkable main street in Keene, where many other great businesses are as well.
