Middle Mountain Cabins

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!

Absolutely loved it!

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 one-way 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 mi out the tracks to Bemis. The trail is rocky with tree roots. It's 1.5 mi up a mountain & 1.5 mi down the other side to the tracks, then another .5 mi 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.

Beware…you won’t want to leave this place

This was an awesome adventure! The cabins were perfect! The water pump rendered great water, the propane stove/oven and propane fridge worked perfectly! There was plenty of firewood and plenty of cooking/eating utensils.

The ONLY thing I could suggest would be a big BOLD warning to not follow GPS, but take the dirt road straight south from Wymer. I followed my GPS and it took me south on 27 from Alpena, to a road (463) which was gated by the National Forest.

I will definitely book the cabins again! It rained the entire time we were there so we left the tarp we had erected near the fire so the next renters may be able to enjoy the fire as we did.

I Loved visiting Middle Mountain Cabins. It was quite the character building 18.2 to get there. Unfortunately it was complete overcast the night we were there, but I can image the view on the nights sky from that place. I will be back for sure!!
