Short Term Rentals

Dear Pilgrim Cove Residents:

This is a reminder to all Cove residents and those cabin owners who rent their properties. All  cabin owners renting their properties are obligated to comply with McCall City Code Section 3.13.09 regarding short term rentals.  As stated in number 5 of 3.13.09, a posting of numbers 1-3 MUST be A VISIBLE POSTING on the premises.

Due to some bad experiences last summer on some rentals the Board has found it necessary to take the appropriate measures to enforce McCall’s Short Term Rental regulations.  Residents experiencing activities that are not in compliance with Code 3.13.09 should contact the cabin owners or their management company, if known;  If necessary residents can call the McCall police.

Please be advised that the Board intends to enforce this ordinance, including any failure to file the Declaration of Compliance with the City’s Administrator.  We appreciate everyone being good neighbors and respecting the serenity of our Cove community.  

Thank you,

Pilgrim Cove HOA Board
