Short-term rentals (STRs), known locally as vacation rentals, are legal in Prairie County, Arkansas, with various regulations to ensure compliance. STRs, including cabins in rural settings and charming homes for tourists, thrive primarily due to the area's natural beauty, attracting visitors looking for outdoor adventures and relaxing getaways. While the market caters more to tourists, it does accommodate some business travelers, particularly during peak tourist seasons. Property owners must secure a business license, provide proof of appropriate insurance, and comply with local zoning laws to operate legally. The Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration is primarily responsible for the regulation of these rentals and oversees the implementation of state laws.
