Gross bookings per Lebanon listing averaged $17,243 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Kentucky average: $27,730), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Lebanon listing brings in $2,460 in July, its best month, and $1,530 in January, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 28% 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 3.2 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
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.

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.
Latest 12 months in the September 2026 data. September's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to August.
May 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in August 2026 and bookings in September 2025, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest. Across the past two years, July 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.
These are market-wide figures. To see what one particular Lebanon home could earn, enter its address, bedrooms and guests in the short-term rental calculator; it compares the home with similar listings nearby.
Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Lebanon Airbnb took in $17,243 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $930 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 $1,550 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $1,750 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,080 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $800 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.

RevPAR, or revenue per available night, divides a listing's income by every night it was open to book, so it rises with both price and bookings. In Lebanon it averaged $61 over the past year, from about $49 in a typical January to about $79 in a typical July.

Seasonality
With only 45 active listings, the monthly pattern in Lebanon is noisy, since a few long or pricey stays can lift a month; revenue has tended to peak in July and bottom out in January.

Permits
None of the 45 active listings in Lebanon 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.
Registration, permit, zoning and occupancy-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the city or county before buying or listing in Lebanon.
