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

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

Had been to Flagstaff in winter, but this was our first trip in summer and loved it as much. Our daughter had grown up going to huts and wanted to experience it with her husband. Food, staff, fellow guests, room, all wonderful. My son in law particularly loved the fire pit.. Only disappointment was it […]

We had a great experience and have already discussed our next adventure at Maine Huts and Trails. The keepers were wonderful. They kept the lodge clean and they certainly kept us all well fed! The meals were tasty, healthy and hearty. We enjoyed the family-style dining and met some lovely people to spend time with. […]

We stayed overnight at Poplar and then mountain biked to Stratton Brook Hut the next day. The challenging uphill to Stratton Brook was worth the incredible view at the top. The lodge is beautiful! Can't wait to come back! Kristina
