In the 1950's, when Americans were being encouraged by Madison Ave to "see the USA in your Chevrolet," motels of all kinds sprung up all across the country.One such place was the "Shangri-La," a motor court-style motel built near the newly formed Tenkiller Ferry Lake, just north of Gore, Oklahoma.Shangri-La was a popular place for quite a while.Over the years the motel changed hands several times, rising and falling in popularity. Losing several buildings to highway expansion and ultimately falling into disrepair. This one of a kind property has been well loved by many over the last several decades and is now being thoughtfully renovated by the new owners- April Anderson and partner Charlie Merida from Oklahoma City. The two stumbled across the opportunity one day at lunch while talking and dreaming of their next adventure. Both familiar with real estate and the vacation rental market decided to bet it all on this magical 1950's roadside motor court motel
