Flagstaff's great!
July 19, 2015

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay at the Flagstaff Lake hut. The crew there is great. They handled the "Free Child" weekend superbly, with good humor and grace, putting out great meals for all of us on their first full weekend of being open. It was great to see so many families with young children taking advantage of the hut system and giving their kids the opportunity to experience nature without the distractions of the digital world.

Maine Paradise

I hiked with my family to Flagstaff Lake Hut: children ages 9 and 16, husband, and mother-in-law. Spectacular beauty and so much to do once we got there! We used the canoes, kayaks, paddle boards, and swam. Plus the staff was 5 stars for kindness, cleanliness, knowledge, and delicious food! The kindness of the staff rubbed off on all the guests who were uniformly friendly to one another. The staff even gave my son a bag of marshmallows after he built a campfire and he in turn shared the bag with all the guests. A beautiful experience for young and old!

Maine Beauty & Joy
June 29, 2015

Maine Huts & Trails far exceeded my expectations ... your web site and brochures are very modest with respect to what you offer. Exceptional accommodations, hut placement for excellent options for hiking trails, Maine 'mother nature' beauty, and a very comfortable milieu to experience and appreciate living in the 'now'. Thank you ... I plan to be a long term member and user of the Maine Huts & Trails system.

Grand Falls trip
June 22, 2015

Everything was great! The hut, the weather, the caretakers. I have stayed at all of the huts and this one and Flagstaff are my favorites. I brought two friends with me who never had been to a MHT hut and they were blown away by what they found. Not what they expected. I didn't say much before hand so they would be surprised. It is probably going to be an annual event going forward. All the guys who passed on going with us were pretty jealous when they saw the pictures .

Grand Falls

The Grand Falls Hut and our overall stay was outstanding. Easy access and the trail system was well marked and well maintained. The Hut caretakers were very accommodating and some of the nicest people I have met. The Dead River, Grand Falls and the Forks is an amazing and beautiful watershed area. I highly recommended a visit.

Full Hut Special
May 18, 2015

Seven families took advantage of the full hut spring special and rented the Flagstaff Hut for Mother's Day weekend. It was fabulous! The ice had just gone out a few days prior to our arrival, and there was not a bug in site. Some of us paddled in from the boat ramp, and some hiked in. Twenty-two of us climbed up Little Bigelow on Saturday, and had incredible views (and lots of snow on top!). Will was an awesome host, and everyone had a blast of a time! We already booked for next year. It will definitely be a tradition. Thanks Maine Huts and Trails!
