About Beaver Creek Cabin (ID)

The Beaver Creek Cabin site was established for administrative use in 1912. The current dwelling was built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps using standard blueprints for that time. Beaver Creek Cabin is open year-round. It's accessible by car in the summer months and by snowshoes or cross-country skis in winter. Guests arriving in winter should park at the Whoop-Um-Up Park N' Ski Area (permit required) and access the 1.5 mile Pilgrim Trail to reach the cabin. The trail is moderately difficult in normal conditions, and guests are responsible for their own safety. The cabin offers many creature comforts for an enjoyable stay. However, several of the amenities are only available seasonally. Guests should be prepared to bring certain supplies or gear according to the season.

It is a lovely place, the vault toilet was clean. The cabin could use a fresh coat of paint, and it is very warm this time of year. The picture window was stunning! Our only issue is that it is not disability friendly. My husband is in a wheelchair, and a ramp would have been helpful. All in all, a great experience! The night sky was stunning. Thank you!

We enjoyed our overnight stay in the Beaver Creek cabin. The trail to the cabin is well marked for deep snow with blue diamonds. along the way. The cabin was clean and there was plenty of firewood in the woodshed to keep us warm.

Beaver Creek is a great rustic cabin. In the wintertime, it's just far enough off the beaten track to be very quiet and peaceful, while being not very difficult to get to. The well-stocked wood stove, adequate dishes and kitchen utensils, etc. make for a cozy trip. There's many miles of great cross-country skiing (or snowshoeing) available from the cabin. We keep coming back, for 11 years now!

Nice cabin, experience would have been better if ability to close the gate which is available at other guard station cabins in the area. Many vehicles drove through. People walked into area from trail. Could use a larger sign as most of the cabins have, Please respect the privacy of the cabin occupants.

Overall it was very good. Clean enough. the replacement sofa is much more comfortable this year..
My only complaints are that 1) A number of time different parties of people walked passed the closed gate up to the cabin -staring, snooping - in spite of the sign at the gate to respect the privacy….
2) I killed 2 mice with the mouse trap and had the sense there were more. They had gotten into my packaged foods.
