“Interesting guests, competent and friendly staff, a great time was had by all.” —Paul

“Our group of four had a fabulous trip to the Poplar Stream hut in late February. We had a delightful snowshoe into the hut and were greeted warmly by Elliot (and lovely aromas from the kitchen) when we arrived. We spent the afternoon in front of the woodstove, took a short hike to one of […]

“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

“Our stay at Flagstaff hut was incredible! The trails were gorgeous and perfect for skiers of any comfort level. We spent our time skiing, watching the sunrise and sunset across the lake, stargazing, playing in the snow, and reading and playing games by the fire. The staff at the hut were so friendly and accommodating […]

“I had an old gift certificate for a one-night stay at the huts, and I wanted to take advantage of the incredible snow that we’ve had this year. It’s always a treat to come to the huts when full service is in effect and I wanted an adventure with my new fat bike. With my […]
