About the host
Hosted by Leslie & Bob DePol-Tauber

Exploring the world, meeting interesting people & life enriching experiences is our passion. A couple of years ago we took our love of travel to a new level and put our belongings into storage and headed to Europe. We lived in short term furnished rentals around the world and settled into places that we wanted to learn more about. Upon returning to the US we had a new vision: To create a home we could share with others while we were out and about enjoying other people's spaces and places. And so our dream for McKinley Place and the Grayfield Cottage was born. After a year of thoughtful planning, careful design and a LOT of help from family and friends, we are ready to manifest our vision. Welcome to the Grayfield Cottage and the McKinley Place - spaces we are proud to share in a location we believe you'll thoroughly enjoy.
Why they chose this property
20 years ago we started dreaming about buying a home in the East Sacramento McKinley Park neighborhood. The first thing people usually say as they walk up to our front door is, "What a beautiful neighborhood!"
