Fireweed House - Elegant Downtown Escape with Local Flair

Nestled on a quiet dead-end street, Fireweed House is your perfect home base in the heart of downtown Fairbanks. Whether you’re here to experience the endless daylight of the Midnight Sun or chase the Aurora Borealis, this thoughtfully designed home offers comfort, convenience, and local charm.

In the summer, you’re just 300 steps from curbside viewing of the Golden Days Parade and a short walk to downtown’s best food, art, and entertainment—including the Midnight Sun Street Fair in June - 12 hours of non-stop fun!

In the winter, Fireweed House offers a cozy retreat after a day of exploring. Fairbanks is one of the best places on Earth to view the Northern Lights, and with dark, crisp skies, you’re in the perfect location to start your aurora adventure.

With a fully remodeled interior, modern amenities, fresh flowers, and a location that puts you close to everything, Fireweed House is the ideal stay—whether you’re here for adventure, relaxation, or a little of both.

Best VRBO host yet.

Lovely home, with everything a weary traveler could possibly need. All the extras, such as the breakfasts Victoria provided as well as the coffee and creamer and butter, etc to go with it were greatly appreciated. On top of that she went above and beyond to make our anniversary very special. I highly recommend this house!

Perfect spot in Fairbanks

Really enjoyed our stay here. House was completely renovated and had everything we needed and more. Very comfortable beds and lots of little extras everywhere. While we arrived on one of the hottest days of the year in Fairbanks, the fans in the house kept the place cool and we did not feel the need for air conditioning (almost nowhere in Fairbanks has it). Being in downtown, we were able to walk to many places, and we were centrally located to drive anywhere else we needed. The owner is very responsive to messages and helpful if you need her, but does not get in your way if you don't. SO much better than a hotel for your Fairbanks stay!
