Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Vail?

Gross bookings per Vail listing averaged $58,606 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 Vail listing brings in $14,900 in February, its best month, and $3,350 in October, its slowest. March runs within 5% of February, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 45% 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 3.5 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $16,400+ a month, about three times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $10,100 or more, roughly $4,600 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $5,470 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $2,820 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 Vail Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Vail Airbnb took in $58,606 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $3,210 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 $5,980 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $4,750 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $3,610 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $2,760 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 Vail's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Vail listings are booked on 46% or more of their nights, against 27% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $605 adds about $6,070 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $1,000 a night or more, against a median of $605. 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 $5,390 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, February brings the average listing about $14,900, against $3,350 in October, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Vail listings average 4.82 stars, and 28% 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 $8,990 a month, against $4,880 for the average one.

What Is the RevPAR for Airbnb in Vail?

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $528+ per open night, about 2.5 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $350 or more, about $140 a night above the median.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Vail
