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

The staff are super friendly and helpful. The meals were excellent. We will be back for sure. Jeremy

This was my first time staying at any of the huts – same with the rest of the group. We chose the Flagstaff Hut because it was on the lake. It was wonderful. We used the paddle boards and kayaks. Fun. We als spent time at the scenic lookout. It was so peaceful there. The […]

Came in late after an ambitious day hiking the entire Bigelow ridge from Horns Pond to Poplar Hut. My traveling companion (age 8) and I had hiked 15 miles over 11 hours. We were due at Poplar by 5pm but underestimating the challenge of the day brought us in at 9pm. All was quiet at […]

Flagstaff Hut has tremendous location, access to the lake and meals. The staff were especially accommodating and Hannah should be singled out for kudos. Barry
