About Middle Mountain Cabins

The Middle Mountain Cabins are nestled in a small grassy opening near a small pond and Camp Five Run, a hiking trail that leads into the Laurel Fork South Wilderness. The cabins are secluded and offer a quiet retreat for visitors. Rented as a single unit, Middle Mountain Cabins include a main cabin with a kitchen, and two historic sleeping cabins. The cabins occupy a 3.5-acre space about 18 miles south of Wymer. The two smaller cabins were built in 1939 and served as bunk houses for Forest Service employees.

Beautiful views from the porch, fun hikes on the West Fork Trail. Sorry to see the
Logging going on nearby although the trees will grow back, I guess.

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.

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!

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!

Policies & Rules

Arrival & departure

  • Contact the district office for the combination code before your arrival.

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.

Fires & fuel

  • Cutting live trees for firewood is prohibited.
  • Firewood from outside the area is not allowed to prevent invasive pests; obtain firewood locally.
