sugar shack
Maple boiling house
A sugar shack is a building where maple sap is boiled down into syrup, traditionally a rustic cabin in the woods near maple groves.
The term is most common in New England and Quebec, where sugaring season draws visitors for pancake breakfasts and syrup tastings: We visited the sugar shack during maple season.
