About
Middle Mountain Cabins occupy 3.5 acres in a small grassy opening near Camp Five Run in the Greenbrier Ranger District of Monongahela National Forest. At 3,750 feet elevation, the site is surrounded by red spruce and yellow birch and sits adjacent to the 11,839-acre Laurel Fork South Wilderness. The complex is rented as a single unit and consists of a main cabin plus two historic sleeping cabins built in 1939 that originally served as bunk houses for Forest Service employees. The main cabin features a gas stove, kitchen cabinets, cooking utensils, a table with six chairs, two lounge chairs, one full-size bed, and a fireplace. Each sleeping cabin contains two sets of bunk beds and a fireplace. There is no electricity or running water inside; an outside hand pump provides drinking water and a vault toilet serves the site. Firewood is supplied but not guaranteed. Visitors must bring their own bedding, lanterns, flashlights, matches, and food. Recreation opportunities include fishing on the Cheat, Glady Fork, Shavers Fork, and the Greenbrier River forks. The High Falls of Cheat Trail #345 offers a 2.9-mile hike to waterfalls, while the West Fork Rail Trail #312 follows an old railroad grade along the West Fork of the Greenbrier River. The Allegheny Trail #701 passes through the area spanning multiple ranger districts.
