Five dimensions StaySTRA evaluates per market.
Market Overview
Reeds Spring is a small Ozarks town of about 1,136 residents in Stone County, southwest Missouri, sitting inside the Branson micropolitan area and within the Table Rock Lake tourism corridor. It markets itself as a base for visitors to Silver Dollar City, a 61-acre 1880s-themed amusement park nearby, and to Table Rock Lake itself, a 40,000-plus acre reservoir with over 800 miles of shoreline. Visitors skew toward leisure and recreation: anglers drawn to nationally ranked bass fishing, boaters, and outdoor-recreation travelers, with demand concentrated in the mid-March to early-January window that mirrors Silver Dollar City’s operating season.
Because StaySTRA’s short-term rental performance data for this submarket is shared across the immediate Branson-area cluster (Reeds Spring, Branson, Lampe, and Shell Knob), this profile frames occupancy, rate, and revenue figures as describing the Reeds Spring area (Branson area) STR market rather than claiming Reeds Spring-only precision.
In June 2026, that area STR market averaged 68.32% occupancy and a $334.39 average daily rate, with average monthly revenue of $6,111.58 per active listing, one of the higher revenue figures in this pipeline. Year over year, occupancy dipped 2.24 points and ADR fell 6.20%, but revenue still grew 2.08%, suggesting stronger booking volume offset the softer rates.
Listing count, bedroom mix, and channel split data for this area are tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for Reeds Spring, so this profile omits those specific breakdowns.

Short-Term Rental Regulations
Short-term rentals in the Reeds Spring and Table Rock Lake area are legal but regulated primarily at the county level by the Stone County Health Department, rather than by the small City of Reeds Spring. Under the county’s Vacation Rental Ordinance, no owner may rent a unit for 28 consecutive days or less without a valid vacation rental permit; the application fee is $150, and holders pay a renewable $150 annual fee, with permits expiring each June 30. Properties must be properly zoned for commercial use, and by both county and, within city limits, city standards, and must pass Health Department and Fire Department requirements before operating.
A notable local restriction applies to lakefront property: because of county regulation, private homes fronting Table Rock Lake generally cannot become new short-term rentals unless the use predates the regulations (grandfathered in), while Lake Taneycomo-front homes are easier to permit. There is no owner-occupancy or primary-residence requirement and no published annual night cap.
On taxes, Stone County voters approved a 3% tourism lodging tax in April 2025, applying to hotels, motels, and short-term rentals in the southern Stone County tourism district that includes Reeds Spring, with collections beginning October 2025, a genuinely recent change. This is on top of Missouri’s 4.225% state sales tax and applicable local sales taxes. Enforcement is administered at the county level and described as moderate.
Market Comparison
Reeds Spring’s 68.32% occupancy in June 2026 runs well above the roughly 55% occupancy typical of the broader U.S. short-term rental market, and its $334.39 ADR also outpaces the national median of roughly $220, putting this market ahead of a typical U.S. STR market on both fill rate and price, at least during its active season.
Property manager data for this area is tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for Reeds Spring, so this profile omits naming specific operators here.
What sets Reeds Spring apart in this pipeline is the combination of an extreme seasonal swing (a roughly 4.5x revenue gap between July and January) with an outsized house-versus-apartment revenue spread, meaning both timing and property type matter more here for investment outcomes than in most markets in this batch.
