We had a wonderful time at the cabins. There are signs leading all the way to the cabin from Route 33. Make sure to top the gas tank every chance you get. This is the wilderness & it's remote. The main cabin has a fridge, it worked the whole time we were there, but got replaced by a new one the day we were leaving. There is also a stove, but we didn't use it. The top burner did light, but we didn't try to light the oven. We cooked outdoors on the grill & over the fire. Water by hand-pump...need to pump hard & fast to get it going. Pond is a beaver dam. We didn't swim in it, but they did fish in it & caught some. Good swimming hole at Bemis. When researching we found a 3-mile trip walk to a waterfall, but it is way further than that. Part of our group left too late & was unprepared, so we had to go in to get them and walk the 5 miles out the tracks to Bemis. The trail is rocky with tree roots. It's 1.5 miles up a mountain & 1.5 miles down the other side to the tracks, then another .5 mile to the falls. If you plan ahead & leave early could be a nice hike. We started in at 4pm to get the group out & arrived at our car in Bemis around 11pm. It wasn't a good time, but hey, we brought home a memorable story.

This was our first time at the cabins. We had a great time. The fireplace was really comforting at night. We loved having access to the trailhead from our site. Everything was clean and there were even dishes, a stove, a refrigerator, and places to hang lanterns. We will definitely be coming back next year and we will bring more lanterns. It was very peaceful and it was great to get away!

The bunk houses are usually rather dusty and musty, but the main cabin was fine - and the kitchen is better equipped every time we go. We have also contributed to it's contents. So nice to have firewood provided!

Best time ever. This is my fifth trip. I can't think of a more beautiful and relaxing couple of days. Looking forward to next year.

Best place on earth!

Great off grid experience. This is the second time that we have stayed here. I was not happy that the water was not working. We were not told ahead of time, so I was unable to make preparations. Location is private and quiet. Great place to unplug and get away from it all.

Wonderful cabin experience. When properly prepared, MIddle Mountain Cabins offers wonderfully peaceful seclusion. I would definitely return in the future.

We love staying here! Be sure to bring all dishware and cookware, as well as a container for carrying water from the pump to the cabin. Excellent birding, fun ( but wet) on the trails. A beaver was resident- probably temporary- at the small pond bEside the cabin. The West Fork Trail, accessed by forest rt 35, had wonderful wildflowers and butterflies.

the weather was beautiful, the cabins accommodated everyone. we always enjoy cooking over the fire. fished at Spruce Knob Lake and got to watch an Osprey in action. the grandkids call the observation tower at Spruce Knob a castle. we even created a couple of scavenger hunts for kids

Directions were wrong. Be prepared to be on a very curvy one lane road with no signs and no service for AT LEAST an hour. Park rec people couldn't give the names of the roads or navigate properly, which lead us further into the mountain and were still lost. Never made it there..so maybe it exists? There’s no pictures..just saying. If you miss it, the cabin spot that is, don’t worry 40 miles of that one lane dirt road with no service will eventually lead you to a small town close to the Virginia state line. Beware of the office hours too, they’re the only ones who know s of the cabins existence, so don’t call after hours or your out of luck. They didn’t want to refund any of my money either, I can understand to an extent why..but nothing at all? And I obviously had trouble finding it with the imaginary “signs” they claim they have. If your coming from Wymer, take middle mountain road till PUB ROAD 14 (not listed as FORSET ROAD 14), and approximately 18-19 miles later it should be there..somewhere..that’s the best info I can pass on to all y’all..good luck

The cabin is nice. There are no kitchen supplies so bring what you need. When we arrived it was not clean. Food in sink and on counters. So need to bring cleaning supplies. The refrigerator works great and handy to have a stove to cook on. The setting of the cabin was beautiful!! Fireplace is great! There was lot's of wood available. Outdoor fire pit is nice too. You are truly off the grid! Hard to find these places.

Very quiet. Went on long hike. The trail is not marked and may be tricky to follow for beginners.
@ChrisH911 · Camped on Jul 23, 2020 at Campsite #1
Amazing location far from the madding crowd. Just don't get lost on the way there like we did. The directions on the website are a little misleading methinks, But we would go back in a heartbeat!
@LouisN174 · Camped on Oct 18, 2019 at Campsite #1
It was a wonderful experience clean facilities had a wonderful time
@MollyP353 · Camped on Oct 6, 2019 at Campsite #1
the cabins allow us to have a comfortable setting for our entire group from 3 years old to 86. The absolute quiet is amazing and regenerative.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
