Private, but not quiet - Light sleeps be warned!

Private, but not quiet. Dogs upstairs jumping up and walking around before 6am. Whoever lives upstairs walked with their shoes on all morning starting at 6am. Not exactly relaxing or enjoyable after a long day of traveling into Anchorage the night before. This might be a better summer stay as the temperatures are very inconsistent in the fall/winter. It would get sweating hot one moment and then freezing the next, you have no control over the furnace heat it seems that pours into the unit, just a fireplace to increase the heat. We had to open the window at 30* just to cool it down. I know owners don’t want to scare off potential renters, but it would be nice if owners spent the time to list maybe some cons of their home, like a heavy dog living above that wakes up at 6am just above the bedroom.

Cozy, quiet home away from home

Our second stay at Fireweed Gardens was even more pleasant than the first. The accomodations in May were warm, comfortable, well appointed, clean, with a top notch host, everything we wanted. In August, the natural landscaping was in full glory providing a sense of privacy and quiet so close to many Anchorage attractions. Planters of bright colored annuals welcome you and show another level of Lauran's appreciation of her guests. First thing on my list when planning the recent trip was reserve Fireweed Gardens. And I would again.

About the host

Hosted by Lauran

Originally from Denver, Colorado I moved to rural Alaska at age 16. I worked summers for several BnBs and Hotels in Denali National Park, learning the art of hospitality from top to bottom. Two years ago, while working as a professional in Oil and Gas, I began dreaming of building my Vacation Rental empire with uniquely, epic Alaskan experiences focused on outstanding hospitality.

I love the outdoors, travel, and adventure and these hobbies greatly influence my properties. My favorite thing about choosing to stay in vacation homes while traveling is the feeling of being apart of the community you are visiting. As a child and even today, my most cherished memories are trips taken with friends and family. I am passionate about hospitality and the role it plays in hosting memorable experiences for others.

I have lived in Alaska for nearly 25 years and together with my two boys, enjoy exploring the State. If you want to explore Alaska, I can give you all the best insider tips and advice.

Welcome to Alaska!
