Noise ordinance

How blessed most of us are to have neighbors that are considerate of others. I agree with a earlier writer. Would go off the deep end if I had to deal with these issues

For the most part our neighbors are considerate. Occasionally, someone has a noisy celebration, but almost always the noise goes down after 10:00. The one exception has been the rental property next door....sometimes they squeeze in too many people, bring out the booze and stereo, and then it’s unbearable. Said property is currently for sale, so everyone on the cove hopes it goes soon. 🤞

I can certainly say that my neighbors on Welch are the best! Everyone helps everyone in any way possible.

Absolutely agree.

Same for East Bear Island. We are ready and willing to help anyone, including transportation to the mainland. However, our pups do not appreciate the occasional fireworks offerings. 🐻

I guess I would continue to have the conversation. You may not get the peace and quiet you'd like, they may not have the thrasher party they want, but perhaps you could meet somewhere in the middle. Invite your neighbor up to your house during one of the events so that they can hear how loud it is. Noise carries at night and over water they may not realize how loud it is even though you're telling them. Try for a compromise. Some people come to the lake for peace and quiet, some come to party. It can be difficult for sure, I think we've all been there. Good luck.

Your response is so reasonable and conciliatory, but after reading OP’s posts about the neighbors’ thrasher parties, my bet is that a compromise with them is about as likely as my being able to fit in my wedding dress, c. 1962! It would be nice, but some people today feel entitled to do whatever they want, which is very sad. The lake is a special place where a person should be able to relax.
