STR Insurance pool w/diving board, slide

I'm purchasing a large lake house in Minnesota to do STR. The current owner has had it on VRBO for 3 years and last year put in a new inground pool with a diving board and a slide. It's beautiful and is a great draw for guests, but I'm having a hard time finding a company that will give me insurance. Multiple companies have asked me to remove the diving board and slide or they won't offer me a policy. Has anyone run into this issue or have advice.

I think what everyone is missing is that owners do not call and tell their insurance agent when they put in a pool with a diving board and slide on an STR. I'd bet $100 the current insurance provider has no clue the slide and diving board exist.
