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

It was a lovely stay at the self service at Flagstaff. Area was kept clean, nice to have warm showers.  Helpful staff. There were no ski tracks -that was a bummer. Views of the lake were lovely!! They didn't have a dinner sign up – but selected a time – times need to be decided […]

My husband and I loved our experience at Maine Huts and Trails. We joked that the hut was ran by four fairy godmothers deep in the woods. The women that ran the Flagstaff hut did a remarkable job: very friendly, irresistible food, and occasionally breaking out into songs. When we got back to our car, […]

We booked a 3-night hut to hut expedition and it was great. The staff were amazing at every hut, but Jordan, Jason, Zeb and Hannah were particularly awesome at Stratton Brook. They showed great hospitality! The energy tours were really interesting and the food was good. Particular care was taken with my gluten-allergy at Stratton […]

We had a great stay at the huts. Appreciated the ample tea and coffee. The quality of the food each day was excellent. Very comforting food for the chilly weather up there. Enjoyed the conversations with folks at the huts. Slept great each night. Trails were well maintained. Walking while the snow softly fell was […]
