Ok, did some minor research. As of 2015, Airbnb apparently provides primary insurance up to $1M per occurrence per residence. There are a lot of exclusions - intentional acts and breaking the law is not covered. Duh. Not sure if that insurance is included in the agreement or if that is something a member needs to buy separately. Have no desire to research as we don’t intend to rent short term at all.

Also, researched our local short term rental ordinances. We, the townies, apparently hate “partyhouses.” The owner must claim primary residence and live on site for 2/3 of the year to be able to rent short term for no more than 120 days a year. Plus, a designated property manager must live within 15 miles of a rental if the owner is not going to be there when the house is rented, and the renters must be provided his or her phone number. If the renters are disturbing the peace, the owner is on the hook for their behavior.
