Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Ellsworth?

Gross bookings per Ellsworth listing averaged $36,681 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Maine average: $37,768), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Ellsworth listing brings in $8,380 in July, its best month, and $1,820 in February, its slowest. August runs within 4% of July, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 45% 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 2.8 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $9,340+ a month, about 2.6 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $5,820 or more, roughly $2,300 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $3,530 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $2,020 or less, about 57% 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 Ellsworth Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Ellsworth Airbnb took in $36,681 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,950 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 $3,240 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $3,950 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $2,280 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,680 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 Ellsworth's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Ellsworth listings are booked on 63% or more of their nights, against 47% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $245 adds about $2,430 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $355 a night or more, against a median of $245. 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 $3,270 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $8,380, against $1,820 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Ellsworth listings average 4.87 stars, and 62% 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 $5,030 a month, against $3,060 for the average one.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Ellsworth

None of the 269 active listings in Ellsworth 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.

Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Ellsworth?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Ellsworth Airbnb grossed $36,681 in the 12 months to September 2026, in line with the Maine average.
