In Stillwater County, Montana, short-term rentals (STRs) are commonly referred to as "vacation rentals." The local regulations for such rentals are enforced through a zoning framework established by the Stillwater County Planning Office. While STRs are legal, they must adhere to specific zoning and permit requirements, which include obtaining conditional use permits for certain types of rentals. Properties that tend to thrive in this market include cabins and other accommodations located in rural settings, which attract outdoor enthusiasts and tourists, particularly during the summer months. The area caters primarily to tourists seeking recreational activities, but there is also a segment of business travelers, especially due to the county's scenic landscapes and proximity to recreational amenities. The Stillwater County Planning Office is responsible for overseeing the regulation of STRs, including permit applications and zoning compliance.
