自我介绍

Somehow after living in Los Angeles and touring as the band "Jason & deMarco" for almost 10 years, in 2013 we ended up purchasing a mini-farm in a little village called Leipers Fork outside of Nashville TN which we’ve called GratiDude Ranch. It was by far one of our best decisions ever, although a very unexpected chapter of our journey. We often wonder how we ended up on a farm in Franklin TN! Our vision was that GratiDude Ranch would bridge rustic charm with modern farmhouse style with our accommodations while also offering the community opportunities to gather over amazing and local cuisine, good wine and great music. Through our farm to table dinners, and our original Hillbilly Clue murder mystery dinners, along with special event opportunities, we have created this very brand that we imagined. We are beyond excited to be bringing that brand back to our West Coast roots, opening our second GratiDude Ranch location in Nevada City, CA on Lazy Dog. This location will offer accommodations at our Lazy Dog Retreat, which includes the main three bedroom, two bath, completely renovated farmhouse along with the amazing Barn Loft. Together, both spaces can sleep up to 12 guests. The farmhouse and barn loft can also be rented separately. We welcome small groups, spiritual groups and workshops, families and individuals. We will also begin offering monthly farm to table dinners, along with monthly "Rockabilly Clue" murder mystery dinners in the Spring of 2023. Private events can be booked currently. PLEASE NOTE: Private events must be booked OUTSIDE of all AirBnb bookings. I (Jason) am a real estate agent and I am happy to help our guests with their real estate needs while visiting the area. deMarco is a chef and has a background in the Restaurant and Hospitality business. He has a passion for Health & Wellness, particularly eating and supporting local farmers. He will be working directly with our Property and Event Manager for Lazy Dog. If one of our events isn't happening during your stay, we are happy to recommend great restaurants nearby. We also run a non-profit called "SAFE" (Safe, Affirming Family Environment) where we serve foster children and other families in need through our programming. A portion of all of our events support SAFE. We're grateful for what we've been given, and when we get to share it with others, it simply makes our world happier.
