@Mark116 I’m guessing your STR is within your home, or at least within earshot, in which case I could see wanting to avoid loud, late night activities. I think each host has to set up their space in a way that makes the guests stay enjoyable all while not infringing on their own lifestyle in a negative way. My space is a separate building, so I don’t hear the tv, or the Sonos if it’s being used. I also think you need to furnish and stock your space so that it reflects your area and what it offers. My place is in a remote area, the nearest town is a 15-20 minute drive. Almost no nightlife to speak of. Most of the guests coming to my area spend their days out and about, hiking, biking, visiting wineries or apple picking. They come home to spend their evenings in. I have stocked my kitchen with everything you would need to prepare a full meal. I also have some extras, a big green egg grill, an instapot, a smoothie blender, etc. no pasta maker yet! I have a good sizes smart tv as well as a good selection of dvds. Also board games and tons of jigsaw puzzles. Certain times of year we get in a pattern of thunderstorms so I like to be ready in case of outdoor options being limited. As I can’t hear my guests, I don’t really care if they stay in or go out. Plus my space is really a couples retreat, it can sleep 4 in a pinch but that’s unusual.
