Is there any such thing as abusing a easement across my property?

I bought this property 4 years ago. There is a easement allowed up our driveway and beyond to a cabin.
The cabin just recently sold and the owners turned it into a rental, listed it on AirBNB.
It now is relisted as a year around Lodge.
I have gone from a car or two once in a while going by to 6-10 cars on some days.
My gate is being left open, cars driving on my lawn.
People coming to our house after dark looking for the cabin they just rented

Anyone ever run into a BNB Rental Lodge problem?
you should see if the easement can be removed!!.. because that is absurd!..

I agree and disagree.
I agree that if you are charging or not charging does not matter. If you are negligent you are libel. (as I understand it)
I always heard it called "an attractive nuisance."
I disagree with"say goodby to your retirement fund. I have always understood that in general retirement funds are protected funds. And some insurance funds are protected funds.
OJ Simpson is living pretty good on his insurance funds in spite of the huge judgment against him.

Let me rethink that!
Though I did disagree with Eddie, I have just thought of a situation where he would be correct.

Say a person is on your property and steps in a hole and breaks their leg.
If you dug the hole you are responsible. If an animal dug the hole you are not. It was naturally occurring.
If you were taking money from the person on your property, you are responsible. You had the responsibility to make it safe.

I am not an attorney. But, I know one....so...doesn't that make me an expert?

How do you prove his dog dug the hole vs some other dog? And isn’t his dog an animal?

OH!
I see my type-o.
It should say if you dug the hole.

I have gone back and edited the post.

Thank You.

Thank You.

I didn’t realize it was a typo and that was an honest question. It makes more sense now.

I have read enough of your post to know it was an honest question.
Thank you.
My answer was my standard answer when I am not sure what to say.

I like the dog kennel idea. Beagles would have the BnB's rep ruined after a month or two of howling at stars, the moon, bats, moths ... :D

Sign: "BnB Please Keep to Left" etc. Start with a friendly posting and reach out to the new owners.

I'd might ask what I could do to help them out. Sort of a back door way to show them you believe in teamwork. New owners might be waiting for retirement to move in themselves. I doubt if they'd take my word for it what a great neighbor they'd be getting. :) Show 'em your good side right away. :2cents: t o g

I stayed at a B&B once where the neighbor had a small herd of asses. I love the sound of a jack winding up at dawn, but apparently city folks don't like being roused at 5 AM. A Jackass will wake you up from 100 yards away through a closed window. Peacocks are noisy too, though not reliable at dawn.
