Asheville allows homestays where owners rent part of their home while living there full-time, limited to one or two bedrooms in a residential zone, with guest stays of less than 30 days. Short-Term Vacation Rentals (STVRs), where an entire house or apartment is rented for less than a month, are only allowed in the Resort Zoning District.
Licensing and Permits
Asheville requires hosts to obtain an STR license or permit before listing their property on platforms like Airbnb or VRBO.
