The Jarvis House
The real log cabin from Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter
Kelly Gulch is the log cabin that played the Jarvis family home in Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984). Its interiors and exteriors were used on screen, and the property returned to the franchise for Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood (1988). Four decades later, it's still one of the most recognizable houses in horror.
A horror landmark
In The Final Chapter, the cabin is home to Tommy Jarvis, his sister Trish and their mother: the house across the road from the doomed rental, and the setting for the film's final showdown. Horror fans still know it simply as the Jarvis House.
The franchise came back to the property for Part VII: The New Blood, and the house was later recreated as a playable map in Friday the 13th: The Game. The cabin has kept its place in horror ever since, from Pumpkinhead to The Red Mask (2025), a meta slasher about reviving an '80s horror franchise at a remote cabin.
