Running Reindeer Ranch

Though the Ranch got its start as a 4-H project, owners Doug and Jane have since turned it into a thriving business in the heart of Fairbanks, Alaska. Jane is a life-long Alaskan who leads the reindeer walks. Though originally from Anchorage, she has lived in Fairbanks for more than 35 years. Doug, originally from Portland, Oregon, has been in Fairbanks for over forty years after moving there in 1978. Together, they have three children - Neill, Robin, and Anya - who have since left the nest but still live in Alaska. In 2004, they purchased their five-acre parcel and home and moved to the Goldstream Valley north of Fairbanks. They then shaped the land to fulfill their dreams of gardening, caring for animals, and being outdoors. A visit to Running Reindeer Ranch is a visit to a true Alaskan family. We invite you to be our guest and join us for a unique Alaskan experience in the beautiful Goldstream Valley. Doug and Jane in their living room
