When you visit Stratton Brook Hut, be prepared for limited access to power outlets and cellphone service. The hut has hot water, heat, indoor plumbing, a full commercial kitchen, and electricity, but we put a heavy focus on conservation of these resources. Bunkrooms are kept at temperatures around 50°F during winter and we ask that lights be turned off whenever you leave a room.

All rooms at the Huts are booked as private accommodations, with bunk space available for 2 -12 people. We do not book shared rooms with other guests.

Please bring a pair of shoes or heavy socks to wear inside when you take off your trail shoes and boots. Removing outside shoes helps us keep the hut clean and ready all our guests.
