Coming soon to a vacation town near you...

[Dan Bunker]

Things were going well until my vacation rental town I own in literally shut the entire town and county down. If you think your in the woods/wilderness cabins and homes are immune to this right now, you might want to reconsider. Moab is about as remote a place in the US where you'd think would be a good place to get away from it all. The health department in these counties even closed camping anywhere in the county even if you're 100 miles from anyone else. They managed to shut down the wilderness for any non-locals. STR's and hotels were given a 9 hour notice to clear all reservations starting the next day for 14-30 days. Interesting times.

I never would have considered a local government banning people from renting a STR. How could they enforce this?

As the weather warms up and if my Lake House goes unrented for periods of time, I plan on working remotely from there.  I can self isolate and fish off my dock and ride jet skiis.
