About Peavy Cabin

Peavy Cabin was built in 1934 by Dr. George Wilcox Peavy, Dean of the School of Forestry at Oregon Agricultural College (later Oregon State University). The facility was used as his outdoor laboratory to instruct forestry students. The cabin was then turned over to the Forest Service and used as a guard station. Several restoration projects have kept the integrity and charm of this historic structure, which is now recorded in the Heritage Resource Inventory as a historic site. This cabin is available from July 1 until October 31 and is accessible via an unpaved road. High clearance and 4-wheel drive vehicles are recommended. Guests must bring some of their own supplies; however, Peavy Cabin does offers few modern conveniences to make for a comfortable stay.

We had a wonderful time at Peavy. Beautiful, serene and peaceful. The cabin is a luxury out in the wilderness. Just be sure to bring lanterns as the cabin lighting is quite dim.

Nice to see the Cunningham Cove and Peavy trails have been cleared all the way up to the Elkhorn Crest trail. It's great to be able to just head out of the cabin and spend the day hiking. Saw a couple of juvenile black bears while hiking the Granite Creek trail (hope they learn to flee from humans before hunting season starts). Also hiked to Van Patten Lake, a steep hike to a good Brook Trout lake (an alternative to Crawfish Lake if you've already done that).

Didn't have the chance to try Baldy Creek trail (I guess I'll have to come back again next year).

Great place. Rustic and quiet. Only complaint was the futon mattress. Very hard and uncomfortable. Bring a pad or cot for everyone. Gas heat worked great. Lights are pretty dim. Good fridge and oven/stove. Nearby outhouse is very nice concrete building. Trailer spot on sight. Road in was easier than expected from description. Mind you this was August. If you go keep it nice. This place was a treasure and I intend to go back.

The cabin and the setting were idyllic, and access to river and Elkhorn Crest trails each day lead to days of adventures!
