Gross bookings per Lewiston listing averaged $26,225 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Michigan average: $34,144), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Lewiston listing brings in $7,510 in July, its best month, and $1,660 in December, its slowest. January runs within 2% of December, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 48% 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 3.7 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.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Lewiston Airbnb took in $26,225 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,380 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 $2,770 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $3,020 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,630 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,190 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.

Nightly rates
The average nightly rate in Lewiston, known as ADR (average daily rate), was $379 over the past year, about 17% above the Michigan and U.S. averages ($325 and $320). In a typical year, rates peak in May and July at about $380 and bottom out in October and November at about $325.
Prices span a wide range: the top 10% charge about 3.2 times the rate of the bottom quarter.

The 12-month ADR of $379 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.
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 Lewiston it averaged $115 over the past year, from about $54 in a typical December to about $242 in a typical July.

Permits
None of the 31 active listings in Lewiston 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.
