Stewardship disclosures
Approved by Sherburn City Council for THOW land-lease pads on 301 S Prairie St. Minnesota classifies THOWs as recreational vehicles—confirm RVIA/NOAH certification and skirting with operator. One on-site unit operates as Airbnb for resident guest overflow—not a hospitality-only resort.
Operators update rules frequently. Confirm recorded covenants, county zoning, HOA restrictions, occupancy rules, and insurance requirements for your home type before you move.
