A sugar house (also known as a sugar shack, sugar shanty, or cabane à sucre) is small cabin or shack where sap collected from sugar maple trees is boiled into maple syrup.

In Quebec, most sugar houses are family-owned.^{[citation needed]}

Most sugar houses also offer reception halls and outdoor activities open to the general public. Many of these activities include sleigh-riding, tours of the grounds and eating maple taffee made in house and often in front of the clientele.

The reception halls cater to large groups offering many varied dishes complimented by maple syrup. These dishes range from ham, bacon, sausages, scrambled eggs, pork rinds, pancakes and many other breakfast type dishes.
