What a great backcountry hut. The common room is so comfortable with a deluxe woodstove, couches and communal tables. The bunk rooms are private, which is unique among these lodges. We enjoyed our own room. It was about 15 degrees out, and the room was likely about 55 degrees, which was perfect for our three […]

We hiked into Stratton Brook from the airport with my daughter and grandson. I packed a copy of Lost on a Mountain in Maine that we had been reading and read a couple of chapters in the bunk house that night The food was awesome. We did have a but of trouble figuring out the […]

Hello, thanks for the great welcome at Maine Huts and Trails! It’s so great that this experience is possible. We lucked out and were able to ski between huts. I think it’s great that you are a not for profit and your vocation of making outdoor recreation accessible is really important. Some feedback from the […]

Hello, Thanks to the staff for the yummy meals and attention, especially Stratton and Flagstaff. Flagstaff was my favorite because the common areas were quieter (poplar was a bit intense; building design meant less separation with staff quarters). I hope that Grand Falls will reopen so that a longer hut to hut trip is possible. […]

Great food excellent staff will see you again soon

This was our first stay at this hut. The hut itself is being kept in great conditions due to the caretakers at the hut. Amazed at how the hut itself functions with so many visitors yet is completely off the grid!! Our meals were amazing. The crew were absolutely dedicated to seeing all of our […]

Even though there wasn't snow for skiing, we enjoyed microspiking (and a little snowshoeing in the rain) in the beautiful woods and trails The warm huts, drying rooms, and good food were much appreciated each day! Catherine in the office, Rachel at Poplar, and the snowmobile guys deserve special thanks for going above and beyond […]

We had a group of 7 women for our hut to hut hike.  Started off with micro spikes as all the snow had melted and left sheets of ice on the trail.  First night was Poplar Spring Hut.  Took Warrens trail to see the magnificent waterfall, then off to the hut.  The crew was awesome […]

We arrived at Flagstaff Hut Thursday 2/29/24 after a slick ski in. It was frigid and the trails were challenging. While this remained on Friday, we headed toward Dead River along the still icy trails. It would have been good if the trails had been skimmed with the groomer to atleast give us more edge, […]

I am not a hiker or a camper (in any season). I was very hesitant to try winter hiking and an overnight stay in a cabin, but my partner was excited about the trip (a birthday present for him). Overall, I had a lovely time and really enjoyed my experience at Flagstaff Hut. My partner […]

Such wonderful stays at Stratton and Poplar with a fun, energetic, and welcoming staff at both.  Kudos to them for all they do and the great vibe they create. Got lucky with a snowy day making the ski from Stratton to Poplar really great.  The next day's Poplar to Flagstaff was a sparkler and cold […]

We had a wonderful trip to Flagstaff Lake with a group of Bates bobcats. The skiing was phenomenal and the sunsets were our favorite! Plenty of cozy cabin time and fun card/board games to be played. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful in managing out larger group. -Bates Outing Club
