About this property
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.

About the host
Hosted by Victoria Dowling
I was born and raised in Fairbanks, Alaska so I have seen many long, dark, cold winters. And I have thrived many short, hot, and bright summers! Whichever you decide to visit, you will be welcomed to the Golden Heart City. Come stay at our Fireweed House.
Why they chose this property
I love living in downtown Fairbanks myself, so I want to share my home town with the people who visit. When a small house close by came up for sale that really needed some TLC, I decided to take the plunge and invest in my town and myself. My life dream is coming true and this is it! I love to meet new people and I have a nurturing personality so the hospitality business is perfect for me, and I can't wait to meet YOU! Experience downtown Fairbanks, it is a great place to be.
What makes this property unique
This house has been fully gutted and re-done. The outside siding and roof is new, the inside walls have been re-arranged, the stairs have been moved and re-created, it is practically a brand new house. New floors, blinds, appliances, kitchen cabinets, even the kitchen sink is new ... Along with that comes ALL new furniture, all new bedding from Macy's, and more. All especially for my guests.
YOU, I hope!
