About the host
Hosted by Jenny Whitmer
I work hard and I play hard and Lake Shangrila has been the perfect place to work, play and relax. I also travel extensively so the house is usually available to rent but it is a home too so expect a mix of clean, tidy and homely. If in a different timezone, I may be slower to respond. Contact my co-host Chloe at 630-229-1085 if so.
