Vacation rental owners (cabins, beach houses, mountain properties) use anonymous LLCs for liability separation and to keep their name off short-term rental permits and listings.
By Shafwan Ahmed, Operations & Fulfillment Lead, Anonymousllc.co
One Wyoming anonymous LLC per vacation rental property. Series LLC for portfolios of 3+ properties. The LLC holds title to the property, the short-term rental permit, the Airbnb / VRBO host account, and the cleaning / maintenance vendor contracts.
Vacation rentals face guest-injury claims, neighbor disputes, and aggressive short-term rental local ordinances. An anonymous LLC keeps the owner's name off the property deed, off the short-term rental registration, and off Secretary of State filings.
Strong asset protection. No state income tax (state income tax may still apply in the property state). Series LLC structure for multi-property portfolios. Wyoming RA replaces home address on filings.
| State | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Wyoming (per property) | $397 | Foreign-qualify in the property state. |
| Wyoming Series LLC | $547 | Best for 3+ properties in same state. |
| New Mexico | $347 | Cheapest. Banking harder. |

Most cities require local registration / permits, often issued in the LLC name. Some cities cap or ban STRs entirely — check before acquiring.
Yes in most states. Airbnb / VRBO often collect and remit automatically; some local lodging taxes still require manual filing.
For liability isolation, no — one LLC per property or a Series LLC. For pure operations, one LLC works but exposes all properties to one another's liability.
