Since many of us are staying home to combat COVID-19, here is a fascinating story about how the Spanish flu affected the communities of Skagway, Haines and Fort Seward in 1918-1919.

By Jeff Brady In the spring of 1919, the entire family of William J. Mulvihill came down with the Spanish flu and was quarantined in their home, the historic Victorian with the short steeple at 7th and Alaska Street in Skagway. Now my home, where my wife Dorothy and I raised our children, and where....

Thanking all the veterans for their service.

We agree! Our friends and neighbors down the hill make some amazing whiskey!

The United States enjoys a wealth of whiskey expressions beyond just Kentucky and Tennessee. Here’s the best bottle from every single state.

A few steps down the hill from our rentals is this amazing replica tribal house. As you will see from the history linked below, Tresham Gregg (grandfather of the photographer) was one of the key carvers and artisans for the building. His shop, the Seawolf, is right next door.

So... for the next several weeks, we will share Fort Seward and Haines through the eyes of the great granddaughter of the founders of Fort Seward Condos/Vacation rentals (selfied here). We hope you enjoy the photos!

Thought that we would pay a visit to the statue of William H. Seward in NYC, given that Fort Seward was named after him!

A great compilation of family activities for your visit, including the recommendation that “Fort Seward Condos offers apartments, perfect for families, right in Haines.”

See bears and fish, take in the amazing scenery, explore art museums, and more in this Alaskan town.

"Haines is widely considered the most beautiful of the Alaskan cruise ports..." True. So why not book an extended stay with us and explore all the Haines activities listed in this article (and the many more that aren't).

Why go? Haines is widely considered the most beautiful of the Alaskan cruise ports, a tiny place ringed by mountains, glaciers and forest, and with a position near the mouth of the Lynn Canal, the state’s longest fjord. Fewer ships visit than nearby Skagway, which means fewer crowds and more genui...

We love our neighbors!

There's no such thing as a normal business day for Heather Shade and Sean Copeland. "On any given day there are hundreds of things that need to be done and we'll need to pick maybe the best 10 to do that day,"� Copeland said.

"Fort Seward Condos is also in the historic district and boasts massive views of Lynn Canal and the Coastal Mountains. These restored officer’s quarters of Fort Seward have one and two bedroom suites with full kitchens and living rooms."

There are few people we'd trust more to show us the ropes in Haines, Alaska than Greg Schlachter, Alps & Meters Alpinist and owner of Expedition Broker , an adventure travel agency that helps powder seeking skiers plan the trip of their dreams to explore the Alaska backcountry in style. We asked Gre…

Quick hike to Battery Point for lunch with the passing whales and sea lions. On the way back, picked some fresh solomon seal greens for dinner. Sun's out, leaves are popping, flowers are blooming - life is good in Haines, Alaska!
