EnglishPrairieBnB - 8 Bedroom - 4.5 Bathrooms

Dear Neighbors, I'm sorry. I accepted this booking and I shouldn't have. The parents described a small, quiet, chaperoned post-prom gathering of "nerdy" kids who weren't going to party. I even met two of them in person beforehand to walk the property and review house rules. Having already declined three similar inquiries, their plan sounded thought-out and they said all the right things, so I reluctantly said yes. What actually happened: Saturday night saw over 50 people in the house, settling at 40, with underage drinking all weekend. Within the first hour of arriving around 1 AM, they set off noise monitors at over 100 dB in the basement — equivalent to a loud rock concert. They only quieted after automated calls and texts. Sunday was worse. House rules are 75 dB outdoor / 85 dB indoor after 10 PM, and they began exceeding the more lenient 9 PM thresholds with a 4 ft by 2 ft portable speaker by the firepit. The parents on-site were completely permissive, ignoring all alerts. Once inside, the basement hit 90 dB, peaking over 104 dB, every alert ignored. It only stopped after I emailed that I was coming to remove them. We also cleaned vomit from the carpets in multiple spots after checkout. Neighbors, thank you for not calling the police and giving me the chance to handle it. My noise system caught exactly what it was designed to catch. We love large groups. They are not the problem. Group behavior is. Bring great grandma, the fam, the company retreat.
