What makes it 89% Kids-Friendly: Kids get discounted meals, snow tubing, trails, playground and sweet taffy demos, all supervised on site, though fireplaces and forest require attentive adult eyes.

Rose is an excellent host and maple sugar historian. Friendly staff and wonderful musician. Great time and memorable. My favorite part of the meal was the soup and pork crackle.

A must see in Québec! So friendly and welcoming. Delicious food. Sugar shack over 100 years old. Loved this experience so much! When we arrived, they asked if we are staying for dinner. So glad we said yes with traditional plates and music it was just wonderful

$49.95 CAD per person Reservation is required, food is served family style. Groups smaller than 6-8 people will share with other diners.
