“Jack London’s Cabin”, Genuine Alaskan Log Cabin built by owners! Self-check in. | Cabin in Seward
1 Bedroom Cabin in Bear Creek, Seward
“Jack London’s Cabin” is a genuine hand-hewn, hand-built, 10-inch-thick logs, two-story Alaskan 20' × 20' cabin, created and built 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 Wi-Fi.
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 Appétit Inn & Crêperie, 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 Crêperie is open to the general public and we offer our Cabin and Inn guests a 20% discount if they choose to have Crêpes with us!
Also at our Crêperie & 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, portable convection oven, kitchen drawers, and cupboards supplied with cooking pans, dishes, utensils, and kitchen towels. Coffee, creamer, and sugar/alternatives are provided. Let me know when you are running low and I’ll restock. There are drinking jars above the microwave, and coffee cups hanging from the stainless steel coffee cup rack. Be amazed! The induction cooking plate and portable convection oven provide very fast cooking at lower temperatures.
The kitchen sink, private bathroom, shower stall, and bathroom sink all have unlimited hot water-on-demand. The hot water on demand doesn’t need to be adjusted. Our tap water comes from an on-site well and is excellent to drink.
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 Crêperie 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 and modern. Our efficiently flushing toilet has a higher seat, which is especially comfortable for adults. The sink cabinet & drawers have extra toilet paper, soap and cleaning supplies. The bathroom shelving has ample 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, blankets, and bedding for the futon. Tap the upper left outside corner to turn the hutch lights on and off.
We have black-out shades for those who are not used to our longer Alaskan 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 La-Z-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 remote-controlled 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.
We provide a 20% discount to use at Le Barn Appétit Crêperie, located kitty-corner across the street. The Crêperie is open 7:00 AM–2:00 PM, Wednesdays–Sundays.
When checking out, please gather all used towels, sheets, and pillow cases in a pile or place in the laundry basket in the bathroom. Empty garbage in dumpster near the Le Barn Appétit Crêperie property. Text me when you’re checked out.
