About
The Middle Mountain Cabins are nestled in a secluded 3.5-acre grassy opening at 3,750 feet elevation, surrounded by red spruce and yellow birch forest near the 11,839-acre Laurel Fork South Wilderness. The complex includes a main cabin with a kitchen and two historic sleeping cabins built in 1939 as bunkhouses for Forest Service employees. Rented as a single unit, the cabins sit near a small pond and Camp Five Run. The location provides direct access to exceptional hiking and fishing opportunities. Trails include the High Falls of Cheat Trail (2.9 miles to waterfalls), West Fork Rail Trail (old railroad grade along the Greenbrier River), and the Allegheny Trail that spans multiple districts of the Monongahela National Forest. Fishing is popular on the Cheat River, Glady Fork, Shavers Fork, and West and East Forks of the Greenbrier River, as well as Spruce Knob Lake and Buffalo Lake. A state fishing license, National Forest Stamp, Conservation stamp, and trout stamp are required. The narrow valley features continuous forest cover of primarily beech, maple, birch, and cherry, occasionally broken by beautiful meadows along the river. Located about 18 miles south of Wymer on Forest Route 14, the cabins offer a remote mountain experience. The closest convenience store and fuel are in Bartow, with larger grocery stores in Elkins, approximately an hour's drive due to rural mountain roads. Forest roads to the cabins are not plowed in winter.
Directions
From Elkins or Harman, drive east on State Route 33. Turn south (right) on Forest Route 14 at Wymer (14.6 miles east of Elkins). Continue south for 18.2 miles to the entrance road marked by a sign. Use the gate combination provided by the Greenbrier Ranger District and proceed a quarter-mile to the cabin site.
