How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Cotter?
Gross bookings per Cotter listing averaged $30,612 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Arkansas average: $26,355), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Cotter listing brings in $3,960 in July, its best month, and $1,580 in January, its slowest. June runs within 1% of July, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 34% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least four times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $6,440+ a month, about 3.1 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn $4,170 or more, roughly $2,100 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about $2,070 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $1,030 or less, about half of the median.
These are monthly figures for listings active in each month. The annual average above also counts listings that operated for only part of the year, so it runs below twelve times these figures.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Cotter Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Cotter Airbnb took in $30,612 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,540 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 $3,140 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $3,980 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,870 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,320 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 HOA or condo fees.

How Cotter's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Cotter listings are booked on 54% or more of their nights, against 35% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $225 adds about $2,250 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $325 a night or more, against a median of $225. 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 $2,660 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $3,960, against $1,580 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Cotter listings average 4.94 stars, and 66% 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 $5,150 a month, against $2,550 for the average one.

Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Cotter?

Is Airbnb profitable in Cotter?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Cotter Airbnb grossed $30,612 in the 12 months to October 2026, 16% above the Arkansas average of $26,355.

A home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit, and a listing at the top-quarter mark leaves about $3,140 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
