Thanks for another magical weekend in the Maine Woods! Flagstaff Hut was beautiful, well cared for, and cozy. Staying two nights gave us the chance to ski out onto the lake, explore the trail system, and enjoy some downtime in the hut with fellow travelers and friendly hut staff. We had one beautiful, crisp clear […]

We had a fantastic time snowshoeing between Flagstaff and Poplar huts, two of the 4 huts on the Maine huts and trails circuit. It was several spectacular days of hiking topped off with cozy bunkhouses (we requested private rooms), delicious breakfast, lunch, and dinner prepared by the staff, and a warming wood stove. The huts […]

We wanted an adventure, something physically challenging and fun…Maine Hut-to-hut was perfect! The trails were groomed for either skate skiing or classic and the terrain had some nice hills and twists. Lodge hosts were welcoming and informative, in addition to being culinary wizards. Our son now wants to eat more cauliflower and broccoli. We plan […]

This is our 2nd winter snowshoe into your huts and both were fantastic. Wonderful rooms, lodge, food and drink. The trails were well marked and groomed. Even though temps were near zero everyone was safe, comfortable and had a great experience. We will see you next year. If you go to our website Connecticut Hiking […]

My husband, son and I spent New Year's weekend at the huts, our first time visit. A storm had just dumped two feet of snow, but temps were mild (considering the area and time of year) and we were able to ski into the hut (I would recommend snowshoes if conditions were icy). The folks […]

Everything was great, from the super-helpful young lady who booked our stay over the phone, to the facilities at Stratton Brook, which were stunning. The hut was filled almost to capacity, but it never felt even half-full in the main room. The beer and wine selection is amazing, and the food was wonderful. We're already […]

– Maine Huts & Trails did a great job grooming Flagstaff trailhead to hut, XC ski in all the way. – Flagstaff is a wonderful location, peaceful, warm, comfortable, relaxing – Welcoming staff, lovely warm fire – Inspiring to chat with other guests and learn about other Huts – left with "when, not if…" we return.  […]

My adult daughter and I booked 2 nights (over New Years) – one night each at Poplar & Flagstaff huts, with the goal to X-country ski. I am from Seattle, and she lives in Portland, Maine. We had hoped to spend 3 nights – (and add a night at Stratton Brook, but, we didn't have […]

Pleased to have made our first jaunt to Stratton Brook in the snow (up Oak Knoll, down Newton's Revenge). A wonderful surprise to find that my 9 year-old son and I had been placed in a private room, which we did not ask for during reservation. Awesome upgrade, for which we thank you! This crew […]

We had an amazing time at Stratton Brook Hut. With Snowshoes on we blazed up the Oak Knoll trail and spent 1.5 days at the hut, relaxing and doing an extra 7 mile /6 hour hike on other trails in the vicinity of the hut. The weather was cold but the hut was warm and […]

Besides the sparkling shores of Flagstaff Lake lies Flagstaff Hut, one of four eco-huts of of the Maine Huts & Trails organization. Hiking along the gentle meandering shore trail was revitalizing. We experienced a number of tree framed views of the shimmering lake, backdropped by mountains, cumulus clouds, and baby blue skies. The forest trail […]

Our family had a great few days at the huts, hiking, biking, paddling and swimming. The hut staff were very welcoming and they served excellent food. Thanks for the great vacation! Brian
