About the host
Hosted by Shawnellen Krajcik
I am originally from Huntington Beach, California. I moved to Connecticut in 1986.I ran a Child Care business for 47 years in California and Connecticut combined. During that time, I also ran in RV Rental business here in New England. Closed both of those businesses and decided my retirement job would be hosting Airbnb and Vrbo vacation homes. I have one in Louisiana it is called 4000 ft.² of paradise on a lake and this one is 4000 ft.² of paradise in a Forest. It is a very busy Job to pick for a retirement job lol. But I love it!
Why they chose this property
Being from the beach in Huntington Beach, California, I would always want to visit a forest. My husband and I had four children and I just did not want them to grow up in the LA area because it’s so hard of a life. So I picked Connecticut and bought the house deep in the forest. It is so quiet out here and gorgeous!
