A brief introduction may be necessary if
you haven’t figured out who or what we are by now:
Our log home was originally built in the
1940’s as a remote hunting and fishing lodge by the Kirsch family. In those
days the only access was by the Alaska Railroad.

| Before the renovation |
Tom & Hobbs (me) spent at least ten
years restoring the lodge to (beyond) its former glory, re-using as much of the
original materials as possible.
Fireweed Station offers a true Alaskan
lodge experience, combining authentic history, fine food, and modern
quality. In fact, at our place,
“B&B” stands for much more than just “Bed & Breakfast”. How about “Breathe & Balance”, “Bath & Bubbles”, “Bagels & Bacon”, “Beasts & Birds”, “Beer & Banter”, "Bocce & Back-Rub"…
Our place has the feel of your favorite
Aunt’s place in the country; woodstove, claw-foot tubs, smells of fresh air,
bread and coffee. Always a friendly welcome.
It feels comfortable perched on a stool in the kitchen, jawboning with
Tom, sharing a bottle of wine. For me
it’s a fine balance between having all the amenities to make our guests comfy
(indoor plumbing, wireless internet) and living with what we have, appreciating
what’s right here on our doorstep. Like
the Kirsch family we are mostly content to share our home with guests and
friends, often blurring the line between the two. We hope our visitors will absorb some of the
history, catch a glimpse of earlier days’ Frontier living and find a little
peace at the end of the dirt road.
