Doug Rendelman and his B&B have been a beloved institution on the Katy Trail for many many years, but sadly Doug will be selling off his property and possessions.

Doug is selling everything but the dogs to the highest bidder.

He has listed with Atterberry Auctioneers at https://www.atterberrysells.com/.
Doug's personal property will be previewing on that website on March 22, with the online auction opening March 26. The real estate portion will be on Atterberry's website on April 1, with the property selling on 4-2-2024. Doug is hoping that whoever buys his place will continue it as a B&B.

Good luck with the auction Doug! We are going to miss you!

Wishing Doug the very best. He's the Godfather of the Katy Trail, he represented all the best of people along the trail. Quite a few years ago (maybe 2009, I'm not sure) my daughter, husband and I spent a night at his B & B during a ride my daughter and I did. Doug's stories, as he cooked a gourmet meal, were the best part of the trip. And at that time my daughter was a vegetarian and he prepared special food for her. God bless you Doug, hope you continue to comment on this forum.

Sad Doug is retiring but this would be a great chance to obtain a “keepsake “ or souvenir from the Blufton Barn. The auction site has pictures and a chance to bid on some pretty neat items. Lots of fond memories of times spent there and sure is nice to have an opportunity to own something that reminds me of those times. Check it out and see if anything reminds you of good rides and great company. I’m sure there is

Thank you to all! Sure does feel good to hear all this and remember how much fun I have had here on the Trail. The Real Estate bidding will start April 1 with an open house on the 23 and bidding closing on April 30. I will then move to ....... Not really sure yet! However, the Good Lord got me here so I guess He'll get me where I'm supposed to go.
