About this cabin rental
"Jack London's Cabin" is a genuine hand-hewn, hand-built, 10 inch thick logs, two-story Alaskan 20' x 20' cabin, created and build by its owners, Yvon & Janet. The logs create a well insulated, comfortable, quiet, peaceful, and is in a most private dwelling environment. A router is installed for free WIFI.
Completed in 2010, nestled amongst the tall Alaskan Spruce trees, "Jack London's Cabin" is our most popular "get-away-home, away-from-home" within a quaint, strong, secure, semi-isolated environment. It is located kitty-corner across the road from Le Barn Appetit Inn & Creperie, which Janet owns and operates. This is where you will find us daily, from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Wednesdays-Sundays. Our Creperie is open to the general public and we offer our Cabin guests & Inn guests a 20% discount if they choose to have Crepes with us!
Also @ our Creperie & Inn property is our outdoor roofed fire pit with wood provided. There are 3 picnic tables for your use when grilling your dinner meals.
On the ground floor of "Jack London's Cabin' is the kitchen with a small refrigerator, a coffee maker, microwave, heating plate for induction cooking, kitchen drawers and cupboards supplied with cooking pans, dishes, utensils and kitchen towels. The kitchen sink, private bathroom, shower stall and bathroom sink all have unlimited hot water-on-demand. There are drinking jars above the microwave, and coffee cups hanging from the stainless steel coffee cup rack.
To the right is a broom/dust-pan, a large garbage can, and a vacuum cleaner as needed. There is a dumpster for emptying your garbage when checking out, and as needed, located kitty-corner across the street from the Cabin on our Creperie property that you may always use when needed.
The bathroom door is a metal door with a large mirror on the inside of it. The shower stall is new & modern. Our efficiently flushing toilet has a higher seat, which is specially comfortable for adults. The sink cabinet & drawers have extra toilet paper, soap and cleaning supplies. The bathroom shelving has amble amount of towels, hand towels, wash cloths, an after your shower floor rug, and a hair-dryer.
The dining/living area has a round solid oak table with four oak chairs. There is a full futon that makes into a bed. Located next to the Futon against the south 10 " thick log wall is an early American china-hutch with a slew of "Jack London's" novels, playing cards, and many treasures that "Jack London" COULD have collected on his adventuresome travels. Located in the lower cabinets of the hutch are pillows, sheets, blanket & the bedding for the Futon. We have black out shades for those who are not used to our Alaskan longer days.
Next to the hutch, on the south wall, is a rocking glider chair. Under the south window is our "too-efficient" oil-fed Toyo stove, if needed. However, our "Jack London's Cabin" is so well insulated from the 10" thick logs that the heater is kept at a very low heat, and/or turned off during the summer months, but used in the cooler fall time.
Next to the Toyo heater on the right, is tall wooden-made floor lamp created with parts of the stem of a boat keel from the Orient. The hat shape on top of the lamp looks like an oriental hat. "Jack London must have located this in a very far away Asian seaport!
To the right of the entry before the stairway to the second floor bedroom is a lazy-boy chair with a small table with a lamp. To the right is a small closet rod to hang jackets and hats.
Upstairs, on the second floor across the room under the window is a night stand with a lamp on it. On the left of the night stand is the queen bed, and the king bed is located to the right of the night stand. There is a decorative early American style curtain which hangs from the ceiling between the two beds to provide extra privacy if needed.
On the south wall, is an electric fireplace that can be used for heat and/or just for atmosphere. To the right is a vintage secretariat desk and a chair. There is an antique butter-churner and a rocking chair. Moving to the right is a working convenience sink, with hot-water on demand, and a vintage standing towel rack with a towel and wash cloth. This is an excellent place for brushing teeth and getting needed water during the night. To the right of the stairwell on the wall is a mirror for hair-combing, or putting on make-up. Located below is an antique seaman's traveling trunk that "Jack London" could have used at sea (currently it holds our extra bed-linens). On the right of the chest, on the north wall are two rocking chairs separated by a small table with a lamp.
The second floor bedroom walls are decorated with a genuine bear-hide, a genuine moose horn rack, and a pair of genuine snow-shoes. "Jack London's Cabin" sleeps up to 6 people, has internet, but no television. We find that most people visiting Seward are so busy enjoying the outside wilderness and wildlife, that television deters them from their true Alaskan remote experience. Besides, during "Jack London's" time period, television did not exist, as he was so busy with all his worldly wild-life travels.

My new wife and I loved staying here for our honeymoon. The cabin was super cool and had just what we needed. To cook bigger meals, though, we ended up using the campfire across the street at the host's main property and cooked over that using a cooking grate, which made the food taste awesome. It's close to everything, and if this is still here in exactly 10 years, we'll be staying here again. :)

My sister and I booked a spontaneous trip and were very lucky that this place was available!! It was perfect for our two nights in Seward. The upstairs has the coziest log cabin feeling, we adored it.
The pin on VRBO to get you there isn’t quite in the right spot—the cabin is on the left and closer to the road.

We loved staying at the Jack London Cabin. It has everything you need and the decor is so unique! We especially enjoyed the second floor bedroom with its electric fireplace that kept us warm and cozy. Janet is responsive and helpful and her crepe restaurant is not to be missed!

A unique little cabin. Very well equipped in kitchen and bathroom. The coffee and plenty of towels were a big plus. The decor is very interesting and a constant reminder that one is in beautiful Alaska. I could almost feel the presence of Jack London as i sat across from the bookshelf. I particularly liked the upstairs bedroom with two very large beds.
My son and i would like to stay again when we return for our next fishing trip.
My only regret was we did not have time to try the crepes.

Nice little cabin, for shorter people. All 3 males on trip hit their heads on antlers mounted at top of steps. Cabin had not been cleaned from the last guests when we arrived. Happen to see the owner next door and she cleaned it right away while we went to dinner. Shower is small and water leaks on to the floor when showering. Nicely decorated, and heater works very well. Nice place to stay if not too tall.

Don't think twice about renting this cabin. It is close to town and has everything you need including complimentary coffee, sugar, and creamer. We missed the creperie opening by a few days, but would have liked to try it. Stay here if you are in Seward. You will love it.
8.0 / 10.0
The cabin is very cute and thoughtfully decorated. We were a little disappointed that there was not a hot tub that was listed in the amenities, nor was there any seating to sit outside and enjoy the nice weather. There is not a stove,, as stated in the description but only a hot plate so you can only cook one thing at a time. The water pressure is great in the shower! The cabin is not as secluded as we visioned but was walking distance to a couple businesses. All in all a nice place but thought the request to take bedding off was a little much. No cleaning fee but assumed it was covered under hostess fee and service fee.

This was our first cabin in Alaska for our early June trip and it was truly a unique place, very very cozy, and we felt welcome and right at home.

We loved our stay at The Jack London cabin! One of the most cozy, thoughtfully laid out and decorated places we've ever stayed.
Close to everything. Comfy big beds with great quality bedding and linens. Lovely little loving area with a comfy couch and the best heated blanket to read a book under. The heating works great. Kitchenette has everything needed though we didn't cook. Fridge needs to be plugged in but worked great.
Bathroom has everything you'd need and the water is nice and hot with great pressure.
The listing does look a bit more in the woods than the cabin is so the surroundings aren't as secluded but we really enjoyed our time here. Janet was very accommodating and great at answering questions. Thanks for hosting us!

We loved the stay in the cabin. The very beautifully set up and the crepes next door were delightful!
6.0 / 10.0
The Jack London cabin is most rustic with an overwhelming amount of knik knaks placed about. It is an attempt at wanting to make it cozy and have that Alaskan charm, but is too much and then it becomes a cleaning issue.
The cabin is extremely rustic to the point of being a possible fire hazard. There are extension cords and outlet cords everywhere. Much of the electrical is exposed. This was concerning.
However, the location is very convenient and accessible to the roadways.
The linens are well stocked as is the kitchen, which we didn’t use since we dined out.
Our host was very responsive to our concern with heat, and even stopped in when we were out.
It is an ecclectic blend of Alaska and could be just what others are looking for. We prefer less "stuff" and more space. Just our opinion.

This was an adorable little cabin that had thoughtful and unique decorations. We loved the deer head and the bear skin especially. Very warm and cozy. Communication with Janet was clear and timely.

We travelled to Alaska from CA with our family during summer break. Stayed at jack London’s 2 nights. Very restful stay, cozy cabin filled with dainty treasures. Very thematic. My son and wife got a head start on the Jack London’s series from the book shelf. The cabin is not just thematic. It is very functional. Very spacious inside. Comfy beds and great water shower pressure and heat. Well stocked kitchen utensils and very good home ground coffee. Definitely recommend to family 10/10.

Love the rustic feel. It was very clean and it had plenty of everything we needed to be comfortable. Coffee was available and the bed was very comfortable. We would definitely stay at this place again. From this location it was a short drive to do some shopping, hiking, and go to the grocery store.

The cabin is charming in a rustic, rugged way. We loved it. Great location for home base to explore greater Seward area.

My spouse and I enjoyed our 3 nights at Jack London Cabin. It is located a few minutes drive from harbor area of Seward and on the road to Exit Glacier and we were glad we had a car. The kitchen has basic amenities and we used the induction hot plate without trouble. The cabin is well constructed and warm.
