Building cabins for short term rental?

I've been I've been toying with the idea of purchasing a few acres of land in the Pacific Northwest and building a several small cabins to rent out as airbnb's. I've done a bit of research on a few towns and a couple counties in the region, and it seems that zoning laws might prevent this plan from becoming a reality. Either they do not allow multiple structures to be built or they require any short-term tenants to reside in the primary dwelling.

Does anyone know of a place where this idea might work? The ideal location would be rural but close enough to some local attractions to avoid high vacancy rates.

Any advice is much appreciated!

-Andy

@Sourabh Bora  "Attached" probably means they are a 4-plex, 6-plex or 8-plex.  What is a "X-plex" you are wondering?  Think of a duplex, but 2-4 times as many units.
