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: […]

The skiing on Flagstaff Lake in the mist and fog was other worldly. The groomed trail was nice as well. Beautiful lodge, nice people, and good food! I have recommended Maine Huts to friends. Anonymous

We had unseasonably warm weather for February, which led to sunny skiing in t-shirts. We had clear skies and beautiful stars at night. Arriving at any of the three huts we stayed at, it was great to settle into a couch with a cup of free coffee before a hot shower and then a friendly, […]

This was our 5th trip to MHT. We come every year during my wife's school vacation week. The experience you have created is exactly what we were looking for several years ago, a back country, hut to hut/Inn to Inn, cross country ski experience where we could stay overnight in a comfortable setting. MHT delivers […]

We had a fantastic four day adventure with our two sons (8 and 11). What a beautiful place, and a great way to enjoy the rugged beauty of Maine in winter. The Huts staff went out of their way to make the trip enjoyable. We all loved the food — especially dessert! I couldn't recommend […]

We skied all four huts – Stratton Brook, Poplar, Flagstaff, and Grand Falls. Huts were wonderful – friendly staff, well organized, heated bunk rooms and main room a real plus, hot showers were welcome, meals very nice and very accommodating to vegetarians, gluten free, etc. Groomed trails a real plus and some had beautiful views […]

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 […]
