Karen Sauther of the Fayston Planning Commission presented the commission’s preliminary research on short-term rentals (STRs) to the Fayston Select Board on September 28 to determine whether the town sees fit to devote resources to STR management. There’s been a lot of discussion on social media and within the Mad River Valley community recently about the impacts of STRs, such as Airbnb and VRBO, and the commission’s goal was to open a discussion.
