Jack London's Cabin

If you're a big history buff like me, then you should definitely stop by Jack London's cabin! Jack London's cabin offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of the renowned author. From the rustic charm of the cabin itself to the immersive experience of walking in the footsteps of literary history, visiting this site is a must for any history enthusiast. Whether you're exploring the artifacts or simply soaking in the ambiance of the surrounding landscape, Jack London's cabin is a treasure trove of inspiration and insight.

I think this place is super cool - basically, a local businessman was able to track down the ACTUAL cabin Jack London (who was a local Bay boy) stayed at when he lived in the Alaskan wilderness. He then brought it to Oakland: it's a super fascinating relic, and the juxtaposition of it against the boats of the Marina (and the palm trees behind it) all add to the complicated beauty.

Great spot down on the waterfront make sure and visit First and last chance Saloon.

Oldest buisness in Oakland. Thats a fact. Historic landmark. Best beer in town, for the taps available. Great local selection of spirits. An absolute necessity to visit if you love old bars (wagon wheels). Great date stop for sure, or if your looking to impress someone with Bay culture.

Interesting little cabin! The story was cool!

I had the lobster roll , it was good it just was a little too much butter for me next time I'll just tell them light butter.

Explore the old waterfront. United States is a very young country compared to many places both east and west. The Jack London Cabin is an real log cabin from the days of one of my favorite Authors.

The drinks were good and the service was better. Lots of good views and happy people with there pets music was a all black band good soul music 🎶 great day.

This structure is one of two replicas of Jack London's original log cabin in which he stayed around the time of the Yukon gold rush. It's made with the original materials and situated right next to Heinold's First and Last Chance Saloon where Jack London used to frequent. The cabin may be locked (visitors can't go inside), and it may not be as fancy as the Jack London Museum in Dawson City where the other replica, also made with logs from the author's original cabin, is located. But that doesn't take away from all it has to offer here at Jack London Square. A great piece of history and unique way to memorialize the famed writer, whether for curious onlookers to discover the story of its past or to spark a discussion among fans of his adventurous novels especially those with characters including or symbolizing the wolf whose sculpture appears wandering in front of the cabin today. There's plenty of outdoor seating and tables in the surrounding area, and the setting also includes a beautiful fountain, scenic palm trees, and a view of the estuary, a reminder that this is not the Alaskan woods where Jack London's original cabin once stood, rather something special, even in its simplicity.
