Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Grayling?

Gross bookings per Grayling listing averaged $24,650 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Michigan average: $34,144), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

The average Grayling listing brought in $6,530 in July, its best month, and $1,150 in February, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 53% 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 three times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $5,060+ a month, about three times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $2,990 or more, roughly $1,300 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $1,670 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $974 or less, about 58% 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.

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 Grayling listing earns about $1,670 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The Airbnb revenue calculator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Grayling Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Grayling Airbnb took in $24,650 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,250 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 $2,270 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $3,490 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,540 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,080 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 Grayling's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Grayling listings are booked on 52% or more of their nights, against 28% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $165 adds about $1,660 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $245 a night or more, against a median of $165. 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 $2,120 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. July brought the average listing about $6,530, against $1,150 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Grayling listings average 4.85 stars, and 51% 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 $3,680 a month, against $2,050 for the average one.
