RE: History of the Nuisance/Party House owned by Mark and Claire Woodsum, managed by Sharon Houseworth, located at 2808 Lakemont Drive, Fallbrook, CA 92028
In 2018, after several years of complaints to various agencies and the owners and managers at 2808 Lakemont Drive, neighbors initiated a formal complaint to Supervisor Jim Desmond’s office. Neighbors also contact Airbnb’s new program to address Nuisance/Party Houses, initiated after five people died at an unsafe and illegal Party House (see this article). In January 2020, Airbnb removed 28 nuisance houses in the Hollywood Hills from its platform after law enforcement identified them as nuisance houses and removed another 50 Party Houses in Arizona in June of 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. San Diego City finally got tough on a Party House in August 2020.
Contact www.Airbnb.com/neighbors and 24/7 Airbnb complaint line: 855-635-7754 (Airbnb Listing #18864938). Complaints go to VRBO.com at its 24/7 complaint line: 877-202-4291 (VRBO Listing #1090108), GovernmentAffairs@Vrbo.com. VRBO says it runs a Stay Neighborly program that commits to “Make very apparent HomeAway’s no-tolerance policy towards owners and travelers who abuse the right to rent properties as short-term rentals”, however, there is no contact info for this program. This is the link to submit a complaint.

The 2808 Lakemont Party House Log created by a neighbor on Laketree accounts for nuisance events he documented which resulted in Sheriff involvement from June through Sept 7, 2020. This video, 41 seconds long taken June 6, 2020, illustrates the level of noise, as heard from a home located about 1/4 mile to the north of 2808 Lakemont Drive (neighbors to the south along Lakemont Drive do not generally hear the noise). 2808 is the yellow-colored house in the background of the video.
More examples of noise disturbances from May 2020 to current are in the following audio files. Residents along the entire canyon are victims of weekly party going nuisance from 2808 Lakemont.
