The average Lake listing brought in £3,230 in August, its best month, and £484 in November, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 43% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
Across Lake's 20 active listings, monthly revenue by tier:
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn £3,240+ a month, about 2.4 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn £2,180 or more, roughly £840 a month above the median.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Lake Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Lake Airbnb took in £12,162 in the 12 months to April 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about £650 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money. A listing in the top quarter leaves about £1,050 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the £1,370 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about £760 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about £560 a month.
These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any building or condo fees.

How Lake's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Lake listings are booked on 58% or more of their nights, against 36% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of £130 adds about £1,280 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge £215 a night or more, against a median of £130. That is a separate ranking from the busiest quarter, so the two marks don't multiply into one listing's takings. For the average listing, a 10% higher rate on the nights it already books adds about £1,080 a year.
- Open for the busy months. August brought the average listing about £3,230, against £484 in November, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Lake listings average 4.83 stars, and 45% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.
What a listing keeps comes down to the figures this page measures: nightly rate, nights booked and the months it's open. A listing at the top-quarter mark takes in about £1,640 a month, against £1,010 for the average one.

Permits
Airbnb Permits and Registration in Lake
None of the 20 active listings in Lake display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.
