As a family, we take annual backpacking trips. Being new to the hut experience, I have learned there is nothing better than ending your long hike at a Maine Hut! You are greeted by an enthusiastic staff and treated to fantastic homemade meals. The huts are exceptionally cared for, and the staff work very hard […]

Food is tasty and made of fresh, local ingredients. Bring sheets, blankets (sleeping bag) and a pillowcase and you will sleep like a bear. We ran into some seriously muddy spots and some of the trails were not well marked, but overall the mountain biking trails are good and getting better all the time because […]

The Maine Huts and Trails are remarkable. We stayed at the Flagstaff Hut in July. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable,the food mouth-watering, the facilities clean and comfortable. We tried a couple of trails–all well marked and very scenic!

I offer my heartfelt gratitude to the many staff members who ensured for me a wonderful birthday week celebration in magnificent Maine! From sharing my excitement for my adventure, to the special considerations given to my dietary needs, post-run beverage preferences and birthday dessert, to guidance about trail conditions and other route advice, everyone was […]

I visited the Flagstaff Hut with a small group from the Camp Runoia Alumni Organization. We had a lovely time. It was very interesting to have the Eco tour of the hut and we enjoyed every bit of food! We hiked up to Avery Peak with beautiful views on the way. We look forward to […]

We had a blast exceeded expectations

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay at the Flagstaff Lake hut. The crew there is great. They handled the "Free Child" weekend superbly, with good humor and grace, putting out great meals for all of us on their first full weekend of being open. It was great to see so many families […]

I hiked with my family to Flagstaff Lake Hut: children ages 9 and 16, husband, and mother-in-law. Spectacular beauty and so much to do once we got there! We used the canoes, kayaks, paddle boards, and swam. Plus the staff was 5 stars for kindness, cleanliness, knowledge, and delicious food! The kindness of the staff […]

Maine Huts & Trails far exceeded my expectations … your web site and brochures are very modest with respect to what you offer. Exceptional accommodations, hut placement for excellent options for hiking trails, Maine ‘mother nature’ beauty, and a very comfortable milieu to experience and appreciate living in the ‘now’. Thank you … I plan […]

Everything was great! The hut, the weather, the caretakers. I have stayed at all of the huts and this one and Flagstaff are my favorites. I brought two friends with me who never had been to a MHT hut and they were blown away by what they found. Not what they expected. I didn’t say […]

The Grand Falls Hut and our overall stay was outstanding. Easy access and the trail system was well marked and well maintained. The Hut caretakers were very accommodating and some of the nicest people I have met. The Dead River, Grand Falls and the Forks is an amazing and beautiful watershed area. I highly recommended […]

Seven families took advantage of the full hut spring special and rented the Flagstaff Hut for Mother’s Day weekend. It was fabulous! The ice had just gone out a few days prior to our arrival, and there was not a bug in site. Some of us paddled in from the boat ramp, and some hiked […]
