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.

The cabin and environs were so clean and beautiful. The new gas heater was a luxury! We were having a great time and then the smoke rolled in. Too smokey for us so we left two days early. We will be back!

Nice and secluded but easily within reach of the North Fork John Day River and Anthony Lakes / Elkhorn Crest areas. Cabin is well maintained and appliances work very well.

We used the time to simply relax. The facility, location and views are outstanding. I especially want to thank the people at Anthony Lakes, who administer the site, for being so helpful and accommodating. They are wonderful to work with. Thanks!
