@Ken Latchers I don't know if they are correct or not. That's the whole point of this post. Would it weird you out?

@Michael Kugler thanks for the post. I should've waited until naptime to post to begin with instead of trying to do it on my phone with 3 crying kids lol.

Anyone else have an opinion on the matter as well (even if it's the same as Michael's)? Treating this virtually as a poll of experienced STR owners and wanting to present the results as backing for my position if the results turn out that way or giving up the desire altogether if they don't. Thanks for your time!

Thanks all. I should've provided a little more detail. Yes, it's in the US (Innsbrook, MO if that affects the decision). We have a sign on the toilet to only flush TP and there isn't an issue with that. It's not septic (it's sewer with a grinder pump) but the resort stipulates TP only (no idea why, just following rules). The only issue is, I'd like to install a bidet (the toilet add-on variety) because I'd like to use one when we're using the place but I can't get my wife and partners (in-laws) on board because they think it will weird out renters. I'm of the mindset that it won't affect renters at all really and they'll either try it or they won't. I'm looking for opinions as to whether you think a bidet would cause a negative reaction to the point that we shouldn't install one or if it would be a neutral reaction and installing for personal use (or renter use if they choose to) shouldn't be an issue. 

@Paul Sandhu ah yes Bon Air, Alton, IL's claim to fame. Brings people in from all over!  Great for people watching while knocking back a cold one.

We own a chalet/cabin STR on sewer with a grinder pump and aren't supposed to flush anything but TP. We use bidets at home and I think that'd be the perfect solution to not being able to use wipes there. My wife and partner owners (partners don't use bidets at home) think a bidet would freak out renters whereas I don't think it'd be big deal and would probably make a lot of guests want their own at home. What do you think?
