In Buncombe County, North Carolina, short-term rentals (STRs) are generally permitted in unincorporated areas, although they are subject to regulations and require permits. The local term for these rentals often includes "vacation rentals," and they can occur in a variety of settings, including cabins in rural areas and apartments in urban centers, particularly in Asheville. The STR market is largely driven by tourism, given Buncombe County's appeal as a destination for visitors seeking outdoor activities and arts, with demand peaks during peak tourist seasons. Properties that tend to thrive are often charming cabins surrounded by nature or cozy homes in Asheville that cater to tourists rather than business travelers. The Buncombe County Planning Board oversees the regulation of these rentals, and ongoing discussions about tightening regulations reflect community concerns regarding noise and neighborhood character. For detailed regulations and updates about short-term rentals, you can visit the official Buncombe County website at Buncombe County Short-Term Rentals and the Asheville city regulations at Asheville Short-Term Rental Regulations.
