The City of Wayzata, situated on the scenic shores of Lake Minnetonka in Minnesota, is grappling with the evolving role of short-term rentals (STRs) in its residential neighborhoods. Amid growing resident concerns about noise, traffic, and the erosion of community identity, city officials are preparing to address regulatory challenges and strengthen zoning protections at an upcoming city council workshop.

Historically identified as a summer resort destination, Wayzata has embraced the hospitality industry since its early days, marked by the establishment of boarding accommodations such as the Harrington Inn and the Arlington House. As community discussions about the impact of STRs continue, there is a recognized need to navigate property rights while preserving the residential character that defines Wayzata.
