Market Overview
Harrison is a small lakeside village of approximately 223 residents on the southeastern shore of Lake Coeur d’Alene in Kootenai County, Idaho. The town serves as a hub for outdoor recreation visitors, particularly cyclists on the 73-mile Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes, boaters and anglers on Lake Coeur d’Alene, and regional drive-market visitors from the greater Coeur d’Alene and Spokane metro areas. No published annual visitor count exists for Harrison specifically; visitation is seasonal and concentrated in the summer lake season. As of April 2026, the market recorded an average daily rate of $198 and occupancy of 50.3%, producing a RevPAR of $100. Year-over-year, occupancy declined 1.6 percentage points, ADR rose 5.5%, and average monthly revenue fell 2.8%, reflecting the trade-off between higher per-night rates and fewer booked nights.

Short-Term Rental Regulations
Harrison and Kootenai County have no identified short-term-rental ordinance or local permit requirement for STRs. Idaho state law has been progressively protective of STR operators. Idaho Code 67-6539 already bars cities and counties from prohibiting vacation rentals outright. On March 16, 2026, Governor Brad Little signed House Bill 583, effective July 1, 2026, which goes further: it prohibits local governments from requiring any license, fee, permit, certification, or registration to operate an STR, and bars owner-occupancy mandates, caps on rental days, density and proximity caps, and extra parking or insurance requirements. Local jurisdictions may still enforce health and safety rules, such as smoke alarm, carbon monoxide detector, fire extinguisher, and building-code occupancy requirements, only when applied equally to both short-term and long-term rentals. The primary compliance obligation is tax. Idaho levies a 6% state sales tax plus a 2% Travel and Convention tax on lodging, for approximately 8% total. Airbnb and VRBO typically collect and remit these taxes for bookings made through their platforms. Hosts renting through other channels must register with the Idaho State Tax Commission and remit directly. The regulatory environment is permissive, with enforcement classified as minimal.
Market Comparison
Against US STR benchmarks of approximately 55% occupancy and a median ADR near $220, Harrison’s April 2026 occupancy of 50.3% is modestly below the national median, and ADR of $198 is slightly below. However, the summer peak tells a different story: July occupancy of 75.3% at $309 ADR significantly exceeds national averages, reflecting Harrison’s status as a concentrated seasonal destination. The five largest property management operators collectively hold 296 listings, representing roughly 16% of the total 1,861-unit market. Evolve leads with 66 listings and 3,018 reviews at a 4.84 rating. Vacasa manages 64 listings with 3,552 reviews at a 4.57 rating. CDA Vacation Rentals holds 59 listings with 2,032 reviews at a 4.70 rating. Vacation Rental Authority operates 58 listings with 2,433 reviews at a 4.79 rating. NW Hosting rounds out the top five with 49 listings and 2,158 reviews at a 4.84 rating. The high proportion of dual-listed properties (1,085 of 1,861 listings on both Airbnb and VRBO) indicates many operators maximize reach by listing on both major platforms.
