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.

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.

Super expensive. Not because it's quality, but because they choose to be. The entire shop wreaks of "We're prestigious..because we say so." Half the store is 'as seen on TV' level merchandise. Nothing cool, local, or heritage. Couldn't even get some gummies on my way out. Bag was like fifteen bucks for something generic. Keep on driving.

There were rooms filled with art, jams and syrup, knitted and woven items, jewelry, woodworking and much, much more. The charcuterie boards caught my attention, but they were a little heavy to carry back on the plane. I did purchase a few gift cards, that were locally made. 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.

We were actually going to head back after we roamed around the downtown for a bit to pick up some to take home when we turned a corner and found this second location. What luck! It was ice cream fate at work. The shop is lovely. There's a gift shop section (also at the sister location but we didn't go in on that visit) with really nice, quality home made gifts and other baubles. We ended up picking up a bear playing hockey who we named Zook 'Five for Fighting' Bear and he's a treasure. Great price too. We chatted with the woman behind the counter and found out her husband creates all the ice cream flavors. He's a genius! We got a small cheesecake key lime pie in a cup to go and ate it within probably five minutes. We were pigs, I admit it. We almost went back but behaved. If you love interesting, well made flavors then you have to try this place. Even if you don't go with the best flavor ever made aka cheesecake key lime pie, you will find a delicious flavor guaranteed that will make you a fan of the Blueberry Haus!

If you happen to be in the area, it is worth a stop - to be able to say you did. I would not recommend going out of your way - this is not a destination. Most things are priced pretty high. There is a sale corner, if you are looking for a value item. There are a number of unique items. Toys, food (deli), candy, and functional home remedies and tools. Chachkies, knick-knacks, and souvenirs. Staff is friendly, and check out is quaint.

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
