Short-term rentals (STRs), referred to as Tourist Rooming Houses (TRHs) in Taylor County, Wisconsin, are legal and regulated by the Taylor County Health Department in cooperation with the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection. These rentals primarily consist of cabins that appeal to tourists seeking recreational opportunities in the area's scenic rural settings. Although the market is somewhat influenced by business travelers, the majority of demand comes from tourists, particularly during the summer months and hunting seasons. The overall business landscape reflects a thriving market for rustic cabins and vacation homes, as Taylor County is known for its outdoor attractions such as state parks and lakes. Property owners must obtain a TRH license if they rent their properties more than ten nights per year.
