Short-term rentals in Homer, Michigan, are currently unregulated as the city council recently voted down a proposed ordinance that would have required registration and compliance with safety measures for these rentals. The local term for such rentals is often referred to generically as "short-term rentals" or "bed-and-breakfast establishments." Although short-term rentals are legally permitted, the lack of regulations means there are no limits on the number or types of properties available, which could include cabins, homes, or apartments. Typically, these rentals attract a mix of tourists looking for leisure stays and potentially some business travelers; however, the market is more favorable for tourism, particularly during the summer months when outdoor activities are popular. There is a demand for properties that offer unique experiences in natural settings. The lack of defined rules has prompted community discussions about the future of short-term rentals, indicating that a better framework may be needed to balance community interests and entrepreneurial opportunities. The City of Homer’s governance lacks a formalized regulatory authority for short-term rentals at this time, but public feedback has emphasized the need for universal compliance and clarity in future discussions.
