Online requests for lodging and/or our daily Abol Bridge, Katahdin, or Medway shuttles must be made at least 48 hours in advance. If it is less than 48 hours before your arrival you must call to make a reservation.

Requests involving any other shuttles, extended stays, or groups should be made at least 5 days in advance.

You will not receive an automatic response, as we manually respond to and confirm all reservation requests.

Slack-packing, Guided Trips, & Trip Planning: If you would like to slack-pack the 100 Mile Wilderness, participate in a guided hike, or have us plan a trip for you, please visit our trip division, Katahdin Adventure Co. These trips are booking now.

Southbound AT Hikers: Please read the Southbound AT Hikers guide for everything you need to know about preparing for your upcoming hike and our backpacking workshops, before submitting a reservation. We strongly recommend not attempting a SoBo thru-hike prior to June 1 and believe the optimum time to start is June 15 - July 15. Prior to June 15 conditions can be poor, leading to a less than pleasant experience. The drop out rate is significantly higher in the first two weeks of June.

Northbound AT Hikers: Please read the Northbound AT Hikers guide before submitting a reservation. Nearly all questions about finishing your hike in Baxter State Park, how to get home, and our services are answered in our guide.

Private rooms, the bunkhouse, and daily shuttles (Medway, Katahdin, and Abol Bridge) have a 24-hour cancellation notice policy. All other shuttles, SoBo Specials, and groups (4+) have a 48 hour cancellation notice policy. The family/group suites have a 5 day cancellation notice policy.

Check-in is 2pm - 8pm. We do not allow check-ins after 8pm, to ensure our guests are not disturbed by late arrivals, no exceptions. Please understand that we are not a hotel, but rather a communal hostel, and many of our guests wake up before 5am to climb Katahdin.
