OT...Vrbo/Airbnb

[Huskers123456]

We are on a small lake and thankfully we just have a few VRBOs. I do not want any more and would never do that to our neighbors. Peace and solitude are why we go to the lake along with fishing and some skiing, tubing, etc.

Worst case scenario, imagine 20 different groups next door each summer, each trying to fill every minute of their 4-5 day vacation with jets skis, wave boats, partying on and off the water. Inexperienced boaters who have no courtesy to others on the lake, driving too close to the shoreline so they endanger other kids trying to swim and damaging the shoreline with their wakes. We had to spend alot of money to restore our shoreline to save our 50 ft Norway pines.

I wish there could be designated lakes only for VRBOs. I certainly understand the attractiveness of owning one. Like for many things in life, I am for them 100%, just not in my neighborhood.

Sounds like you are up north if you have Norway pines, but some counties have started regulating rentals. Can't have more people staying then the septic or bedrooms, whichever is smaller. And quiet hours. I think it's 2 or 3 strikes and the rental license is pulled.

Thank you for this information. I will ask our lake association if we have any such restrictions. Yes, we are up north with the Norways. My grandpa made that a requirement when he chose a lake in 1949.

Has anyone stayed at Nick Saban's place yet? Asking for a friend.

I sympathize with why you feel the way you do. I'm sure most MN counties will be regulating rentals if they haven't already. Two summers ago we stayed at a really neat little cabin in Otter Tail County on a beautiful lake next to Maplewoods state park. We spent the week listening to the neighbor with the huge McMansion running his jet skis all day long. Had a yapping little dog too. Not a big deal to me, but it ain't just the renters that are clueless and annoying.

As a family who has owned a MN lake cabin for 75 years, our worst nightmare is having a VRBO or AirBB near us. Put yourself in our shoes and you would feel the same,

Yes.

Scum magnets.
