Short-term rentals in Lyon County, Kentucky, are becoming increasingly regulated, particularly in Kuttawa, where the City Council is drafting an ordinance aimed at governing the operation of these rentals. This ordinance seeks to maintain neighborhood character and ensure community safety by requiring a registration process for single-family homes used as short-term rentals. Properties such as cabins and outdoor lodges are popular in more rural areas, attracting visitors with a preference for nature and recreational activities, while also appealing to tourists drawn by local events. The market caters primarily to tourists, especially during peak seasons, although business travelers are also present due to the region's growing activities. The local authority responsible for these regulations is the Kuttawa City Council, which is actively engaged in the establishment of these laws. For further details on these regulations, you can refer to the official Kuttawa site at or read more about the ordinance draft on the Herald Ledger site.
