Used to go each year on a Sunday morning in March. It's a long wait to get a table in the restaurant, but kids love the maple sugar ice cream while they wait, there's great walks, and watching the guys boil the sap into sugar is good fun. Totally worth a visit.

I think it has changed and has become more expensive than a lot of families can afford these days. But, you still can see the syrup being made even if you cannot to eat there. It is a nice Family Tradition if you can.

What my family liked about Goulds was that everything was fresh and the service was so orderly and fast, very little waiting.

Went once. We did not find it worth the long wait or the high prices.

Of course, real maple syrup is served, you can watch them make it in early spring when the sap is flowing. Also not to be missed, the breakfast sausage patties, extra sagey, made exclusively for them by a local packing house. combined with pancakes or my favorite french toast swimming in syrup. Every table gets a dish of home made... More

Our Son has married and his wife looks foreward to Goulds as a special treat, along with some of our special friends and... More

I cam on this sight simply to find the phone number of Gould's Sugar House, but after reading some of these reviews, I had to make one of my own. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and in mine, to say that gould's is a tourist trap is misinformed. It is an authentic sugar house owned by a wonderful, real... More

On a recent Thursday my son came home to visit from Arizona with his girlfriend, she had never been to the New England area. I thought it would be a great idea to take her to a Sugar House for a New England treat, my first pick was South Face Farms however they r only open on weekends. We arrived... More

These are the most expensive pancakes my husband & I have ever eaten! At $4 a pop for each pancake (yep, 2 of them for $8) it's a bit up there in the "tourist trap" department. The pancakes are medium sized. Yes, they do taste good, but at that price, they better taste good. The menu tells you that it's... More
