Subject: Short term vacation rentals
I wanted to take the time to write the commission in regards to vacation rentals. I do not own a
vacation rental personally, but our neighbors rely on the short term rentals as a source of income in
order to keep their Bozeman home due to a new job which requires them out of state for the first
couple of years.
Living next door to a vacation rental has never been a problem. We have had a chance to meet many of
the guests many of whom have family in the area. I think it would be short‐sighted to curtail this unique
way for visitors to appreciate our beautiful city. In addition to that, there was a time when my wife was
the property manager for them which helped with some additional income while she was home with
kids. That job has now passed to another local woman who manages the property and is grateful for the
local work. I'm sure there may be complaints at other vacation rentals, but perhaps some simple
management would take care of that.
Cheers,
Jerrad Inlow
