Loved it. Amazing and beautiful area. Crowded at times but we came in during a rain storm leftover from a hurricane so had plenty spots to choose from. It gets cold up there, our visit on 1st week of october, one day in town for supplies it reached 55°f but by time we got back to the top of the mountain it was 38. Mid day. Not taking into account the wind chill cause the wind does not stop up there so be prepared. Closest town for supplies is about 45 min away, 30 of those is just the climb up the mountain. No potable water but there is a spring to get water form for cleaning and bathing, sign suggests boiling or treating water for any potable use.

Just home from our 6 night trip to middle mountain cabins. Our first visit to this location. Wonderful place, only disappointment was not having a big iron swing hook in the fireplace to hang my dutch oven from. Aside from that, if the forest service reads these, guys, DONT paint the grill. Stove paint on the outside is fine but not the grates. Had to burn a really hot 'campfire' in the grill for half the day to burn the paint off the grates, smelled and looked like typical rustoleum spray paint. Dont pack your shower tent, there is a stall for washing. Plenty of seats and benches although not the most comfortable, in cabins and around the fire pit. Hand pump for clean tested water, my next trip I'll bring and leave a 5 gallon bucket since the 2 cooking pots on site require several trips to haul water for cleaning dishes and such. There is a sink to wash dishes in, drains slow, needs a vented pipe. There is a gas range with oven and broiler. Gas fridge that works well but smaller on the inside than the outside, plenty big enough to hold cold foods for a week with 4 people, may have to tetris it a little bit. Closest place to get cell phone service is an hour drive away. This is a setup for relaxing, not much to adventure out and do that is close to the cabins except for hiking trails. Pond on the property is beautiful but not stocked and pretty shallow. Pet friendly as long as you clean up after them. Short walk away to a vault style toilet that is shared by the 3 cabins. Rangers bring firewood on Mondays and Thursdays, lasted 4 of us easily with plenty left at the next load using 2 cabins and keeping a small fire going in both most of the whole time, not to mention using some in the main fire pit(selected out a pile of the cherry) for cooking over. And last, I'm not a big ghost person but we were woken up several times by the sound of footsteps walking around the cabin, outside and inside. All in all it was a wonderful time and we definitely plan to go back again.
