In a typical year, the average Cookeville listing brings in $2,670 in July, its best month, and $1,710 in January, its slowest.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Cookeville Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Cookeville Airbnb took in $20,003 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,080 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 $1,560 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $2,070 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,250 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $930 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 Cookeville's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Cookeville listings are booked on 67% or more of their nights, against 48% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $140 adds about $1,390 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $185 a night or more, against a median of $140. 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 $1,790 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $2,670, against $1,710 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Cookeville listings average 4.91 stars, and 68% 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 $2,390 a month, against $1,670 for the average one.

Is Airbnb profitable in Cookeville?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Cookeville Airbnb grossed $20,003 in the 12 months to September 2026, 52% below the Tennessee average of $42,043.

A home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit, and a listing at the top-quarter mark leaves about $1,560 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
