How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Whitwell?
Gross bookings per Whitwell listing averaged $35,503 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Tennessee average: $42,043), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Whitwell listing brings in $5,030 in July, its best month, and $2,450 in January, its slowest. June runs within 4% of July, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 33% 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 4.8 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $8,350+ a month, about 2.8 times the typical property.

- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $1,290 or less, about 43% of the median.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Whitwell Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Whitwell Airbnb took in $35,503 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,840 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 $3,840 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $4,370 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $2,210 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,590 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 Whitwell's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Whitwell 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 $175 adds about $1,730 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $300 a night or more, against a median of $175. 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 $3,110 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $5,030, against $2,450 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Whitwell listings average 4.86 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 $6,080 a month, against $2,960 for the average one.
