Short-term rentals (STRs), locally referred to as "short-term vacation rentals" (STVRs), are regulated in Schoolcraft County, Michigan. These rentals are considered legal; however, property owners must adhere to specific zoning requirements and apply for permits as dictated by the county's ordinance, which includes limiting occupancy and rental duration. Properties that thrive in this market generally include lakefront homes and rural cabins, catering to both tourists seeking nature experiences and visitors looking for seasonal accommodations. The area is primarily oriented towards attracting tourists, especially during the summer months and other peak seasons, with fewer business travelers due to its remote location. The Schoolcraft County Zoning Administrator is the responsible authority for overseeing these regulations.
