Converting primary residence to STR due to neighbor noise

[Heather Hall]

Hi Folks, I scoured the boards but could not find previous posts specific to this issue . . . We live in unincorporated San Diego county and we purchased our primary residence 3 years ago.  One year ago, a business owner purchased the land next to us and now operates firearms weekly, sometimes 15-20 hours per week of shooting.  Because of the location, this is permissible per county regulations, even though the residential neighbors are having a tough time with it.

So, we have to move and convert our home into a STR (we cannot sell the property because it is 2 homes and an elderly family member lives in the other home and cannot move). Has anyone dealt with noise like this near your Airbnb? Or a similar situation ? Any suggestions for how to talk to guests so they know what to expect but the property is still appealing ?

It is a gorgeous, rural property with incredible views . . . Very peaceful . . . When there is no shooting.

Is it a firing range that the public can use? If so, market the STR to shooting enthusiasts and hunters. Maybe set up a bow and arrow target in the backyard.
