About the host
Hosted by Doug Bland
Your hosts are Doug and Marlene and our 3 kids.
San Ramon, CA is our hometown. Marlene grew up in Santa Cruz attending Harbor High School and Doug grew up in Walnut Creek attending De La Salle High School. We met at Sac State University and have been married over 30 years.
Our two older daughters are out of school and working. One is a pediatric oncology nurse at UCSF and the other is a fashion designer for TomboyX in Seattle. Our son, now 17 attends Cal High and is an avid baseball player and studying to be a pilot. Doug is in the home mortgage business and Marlene works part time as a Realtor. We love animals and have a 7 year old Australian Shepard and a Huskie/Border Collie we rescued in 2022.
We purchased this property summer 2021 after selling our vacation home in Dorrington of 20 years. We are very active people. We love to travel, hike, ski, fish and wine taste in Murphys. Our long-term goal is to retire in this home. We hope you love it as much as we do and think of it as your home away from home and return to stay with us again.

Why they chose this property
We have spared no expense in preparing this beautiful property to rent. Many furnishings were newly purchased in 2021. All linens including towels, sheets and pillows were purchased in the fall of 2021 and replaced as they age. Almost all the kitchenware, glasses mugs etc. were newly purchased. The beds all have toppers on them and are super comfortable. Every mattress also has encasement protectors that block out liquids, bed bugs, dust mites and allergens.

What makes this property unique
The very private location backing to the National forest and no close neighbors makes this a very unique and peaceful home. The sheer size being nearly 5,000 square feet is also very unusual and one of the largest mountain homes in the area that you can affordably rent sharing the cost among several families makes this property a great value for groups and provides plenty of privacy, space, bedrooms and baths.
