How to mitigate party rentals

[Steve Fitzgerald]

We have a cabin in the North Carolina mountains. It’s renting extremely well. The cabin isn’t isolated so if a group is outside being loud or playing loud music our neighbors hear it very well. One of our neighbors in particular is upset by the loud music, loud profanity, and disruption of the quiet mountain nights.

How would you handle this? We do screen guests beforehand and our rules state there are no parties and no loud music. I’m thinking about increasing our rates and minimum stays to weed out people who want to rent the property for parties. We may also reduce our occupancy.

Any other suggestions?
