Testimonials

We four "mature" adults from the South embarked on a grand week-long adventure of hiking the huts and trails system in Maine. We stayed at all four huts, hiking and paddling from one to the next over six days. We gratefully utilized the awesome gear shuttle service with wonderful results to make our hikes from […]

Overall our experience was outstanding! The staff was great, food was delicious, and the facility was perfect. We had been up hut to hut snowshoeing in February and had a fantastic time. The trails on mountain bikes in the summer were a whole new and challenging experience. Loved being able to swim in Flagstaff lake […]

The huts were beautiful, the staff was great, we had a blast. The only suggestion we had is that the trail map can be misguiding for mountain biking. The hemlock trail is listed as a hike/bike trail and it is not really a bike trail. A few other bikers we met made the mistake of taking […]

This was my second visit to Maine Huts & Trails and it was awesome! There are so many options for activities it is hard to decide how to spend your days. I was able to get in a great hike and learned how to paddleboard. The staff was so friendly and knowledgeable with tips on where […]

Fantastic evening at Poplar Hut with chef/author Christine Rudalevige! Lovely dinner and good conversation with old and new friends! Summer is a wonderful time to visit this part of Maine. Excellent experience with both reservation staff and Hut crew. I've already booked another visit to both Flagstaff and Grand Falls later this month. Barbara

Confidence building trip…We learned a lot about how much we can handle when confronted with less than perfect weather. We faced some unexpected, whitecaps, headwinds and rain. This simply made arriving at the magnificent Grand Falls Hut all the more special. Staff at the hut went above expectations to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. […]

Our annual girls outing took us to Grand Falls Hut this year. The hike and paddle made this trip unique for us. All was do able although the take out was a bit challenging. Hut was beautiful but the highlight of our trip besides the falls was Emily our host at the hut. What an […]

I visited the hut in the self-serve season with my sister and daughter. We were the only visitors along with the gracious volunteer host and spent a cozy evening curled up in front of the fire with books. There is a good view nearby, great facilities, and very reasonable prices before the full service season […]

We visited the Flagstaff hut with 35 1-5 graders and eight chaperones and had a WONDERFUL trip. The kitchen was well stocked to cook for the group, the facilities were beautiful, clean, and spacious. Merrie and Mike helped us plan, find things, and make sure we were situated. Merrie was essential to planning our trip […]

Our Troop had a wonderfully successful showshoe hike to Poplar Hut where we were warmly greeted by Erin. She briefed us on use of the kitchen and gave us instructions on our volunteer project. She then left us to enjoy the comfort of the hut and bunkhouses. We were delighted to perform a service project moving […]

We had below zero temps, wind chill -23, to icy for snowshoes or skis so crampons to hike with, and the most relaxing and fun time was had by all. The service at the hut is spectacular – friendly, attentive, amazing cooks. We were there during a change of shifts so met with 4 people. […]

My friend and I spent three days cross country skiing and had a wonderful time. The weather didn't cooperate so it was icy but the trails and country side were otherwise delightful  The Huts are amazing. I have stayed in many Huts in Maine, New Hampshire and Colorado and yours are the best One suggestion: […]
