Welcome to Le Barn Appétit, the first creperie in all of Alaska, was created in 1987 by Yvon and Janet van Driessche, your hosts, and their children.

We built the original four-story barn (Belgian-style) which is the tallest building in Seward. Besides the main barn building, there is the “Tree House” and the newest “Jack London’s Cabin”. We are a B&B/Inn and our hosted guests can be small or large groups. We have cable and free Wi-Fi available to our guests in many of our rooms. With spacious clean rooms, each chamber has a theme with genuine objects to match their stories.

Our guests sleep comfortably and breakfasts are a gift to our B&B/Inn guests at no charge. Come witness the creation of our gourmet Belgian crepes prepared before your eyes to your liking on our custom Creperie created in the summer of 2004. Try Janet's rich Belgian waffles made from scratch with fresh fruit in season, topped with all the other fixings.

Breakfast and lunch are available to the public. We are open daily form 7AM to 4 PM.
Please call a day in advance for dinner reservations made after 4 PM.

View our animal park with our pet geese and ducks. Enjoy our outside roofed "Pavilion" to gather for campfires or cookouts, the Alaskan way, designed and build by our good friend, Jerry.

Visit the "Taj Mahal" two-story fish-smoking house. Fresh smoked salmon is often available for free sampling. Smoke your own fish or have it smoked for a nominal fee.

Walk through our 50'x 25' greenhouse and partake in the beauty and scents of our fresh flowers, herbs and vegetables. We are usually experimenting with planting or nurturing something special. We welcome your knowledge concerning horticulture.

Our place is so unique because of all the special people who venture in and share the odysseys of their lives and journeys with us. Commune your positive joys of life with ours. We treasure each encounter as it becomes a part of the place we call Le Barn Appétit!
