How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Telluride?
Gross bookings per Telluride listing averaged $65,164 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Colorado average: $44,625), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Telluride listing brings in $11,500 in February, its best month, and $3,160 in April, its slowest. July runs within 1% of February, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 37% 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 $14,800+ a month, about 2.5 times the typical property.

- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $3,150 or less, about half 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 Telluride Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Telluride Airbnb took in $65,164 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $3,490 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 $5,730 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $6,250 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $4,010 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $3,000 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 Telluride's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Telluride listings are booked on 52% or more of their nights, against 34% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $575 adds about $5,730 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $875 a night or more, against a median of $575. 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 $5,890 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, February brings the average listing about $11,500, against $3,160 in April, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Telluride listings average 4.83 stars, and 39% 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 $8,830 a month, against $5,430 for the average one.
