First-rate hospitality

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 […]

Enchanting Flagstaff

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.

You Left the Light on For Us!

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 […]

Great Summer Trip

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. […]

Awesome Mountain Biking

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
