“We recently brought our middle school outdoor club to Flagstaff Hut, along with 3 other outdoor clubs with Teens To Trails. Flagstaff Hut was the perfect place to get young people outdoors, away from screens, and fully immersed in nature. Sophia, the hut caretaker, was incredibly patient with our young people as they learned to […]

“Last weekend, we brought 46 students and teachers to Flagstaff Lake Hut for a Teens to Trails program and had a blast! The Maine Huts & Trails staff supported every aspect of the weekend, from pre-trip logistics, to the gear shuttle, plus an on-site staff member for the weekend. Students loved their time at the […]

The staff were generous and helpful, and the overall experience made our entire trip […]

“We had a group of 8 this year on our annual snowshoe trip. The conditions were perfect for snowshoeing. We always have a blast at Stratton Brook with the Portland High School kids. Great weekend!” —Julie

“This is our second stay with you, and we had a wonderful time. Our 5 year old made the hike to Stratton last fall and skied to Flagstaff this Feb. We always have a great time. We will be back!” —Serine

“My 3 friends and I shared an amazing overnight at Poplar hut. We were the only guests that night, so Elliot and Larz lavished their hospitality and culinary skills on us. It was a delight. The trails were beautifully groomed. The flue on the wood stove is broken, so venting the stove is done by […]

“We are a family outing club from a small private Quaker school who has been coming to the huts for about 15 years! We look forward to it every winter. Thank you for your service!” —Nicole (Friends School of Portland)
