Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Crestone?

Gross bookings per Crestone listing averaged $23,074 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Colorado average: $42,105), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Crestone listing brings in $3,490 in August, its best month, and $1,400 in February, its slowest. June runs within 1% of August, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 35% 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 3.6 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $5,230+ a month, about 2.4 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $3,610 or more, roughly $1,500 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $2,150 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $976 or less, about 45% 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.

August earns about 2.5 times what February does

Average revenue per active listing, by month, September 2024 to August 2026

Each point is one month as recorded, averaged over the listings active in it. The best and slowest months in the text average each calendar month over the past two years, so they can differ from the highest and lowest points here.

Crestone Airbnb Data by Month

Latest 12 months in the September 2026 data. September's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to August.

July 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in August 2026 and bookings in June 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest. Across the past two years, August is usually the strongest month.

Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month of the 12. RevPAR is the month's revenue spread over its nights, booked or not. Booking lead time is the days between booking and check-in, and length of stay the nights per booking, for stays in that month.

The typical Crestone listing earns about $2,150 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The Airbnb income calculator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Crestone Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Crestone Airbnb took in $23,074 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,200 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 $2,030 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $3,020 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,450 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,030 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 Crestone's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Crestone listings are booked on 62% or more of their nights, against 39% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $150 adds about $1,480 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $205 a night or more, against a median of $150. 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 $2,010 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about $3,490, against $1,400 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Crestone listings average 4.91 stars, and 72% 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 $3,220 a month, against $1,920 for the average one.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Crestone

None of the 144 active listings in Crestone 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.

A home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit, and a listing at the top-quarter mark leaves about $2,030 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
