This is an incredibly beautiful spot, and the cabin is very cozy. Also, the North Fork of the John Day is right in the backyard, suitable for dunking and wading. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the bugs were pretty bad - a few wasps, but clouds of hover flies and orange butterflies at the front porch. I think people have been tossing there waste water there! In the evening, ravenous mosquitoes. Still, paradise with a few warts.

Such a cozy, charming, well-maintained cabin!

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!

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.

The cabin as always was beautiful and comforting. First time I have stayed this early in the year.... bring lots and lots of bug spray!

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!

Wonderful! I felt like I was living in a fairytale for a few days. Coming back this summer!
@PamK371 · Camped on Sep 5, 2019 at Campsite #1
There are many hiking trails in the Elkhorns and around Peavy Cabin. The Elkhorn Crest trail is very nice. I have hiked the portions of the trail withing a couple miles of Anthony Lakes and I just love all the large granite boulders. It really makes the hike interesting. I like that it is remote and uncrowded. Also take in the live music in the Summer at the Ski Lodge. The local people are nice and friendly and we really enjoyed our time there this past Summer. I love Peavy and the Elkhorns!

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
