Best Places to Buy an Airbnb in West Virginia (2026)

Berkeley Springs is the best place to buy an Airbnb in West Virginia in 2026, according to AirROI's ranking of 10 markets. Its listings averaged $44,900 in revenue over the 12 months to October 2026 and were booked on 46% of nights. It leads on the blend rather than on any one measure, placing 1st of 10 for occupancy and 2nd of 10 for revenue per listing.

West Virginia Airbnb Market at a Glance

They were booked on 39% of nights at about $275 a night; the ranking covers the 10 markets with at least 100 active listings. Revenue per listing rose in 8 of the 10 ranked markets with a comparable year of data, by 8% in the typical one.

The ranking weighs revenue per listing most, then occupancy and market size, then how evenly income spreads across the year and how it changed on the year. It reflects rental performance, not purchase prices or local short-term rental rules. How the ranking works.

Method

How the Ranking Works

The ranking covers the 10 markets in West Virginia with at least 100 active Airbnb listings and data through October 2026. Each market is compared with the others on five measures, and markets are ordered by a weighted blend of where they place on each:

  • Revenue per listing (35%): average revenue an active listing earned over the past 12 months.
  • Occupancy (20%): share of available nights that were booked.
  • Market size (20%): active listings. Bigger markets offer more comparable rentals to price against and more buyers when you sell.
  • Year-round demand (15%): revenue in the slowest month as a share of the best month. The latest month is left out when its bookings look incomplete.
  • Growth (10%): change in revenue per listing from the year before. Markets whose boundaries changed between years are scored in the middle.

Left out: 12 markets whose data predate the latest refresh. The score measures how rentals perform. It does not include purchase prices, financing, operating costs or local short-term rental rules, which vary by address and should be checked before buying. Figures are in US dollars and match each market's own report; see the data methodology for how listings are tracked.

To check one property before buying, run its address and size through the Airbnb calculator for a revenue, occupancy and nightly-rate range from comparable listings.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Airbnb Investing in West Virginia

Berkeley Springs ranks first of the 10 markets in West Virginia in AirROI's ranking, with $44,900 in average revenue per listing and 46% occupancy. Harpers Ferry and Davis follow. The ranking weighs revenue, occupancy, market size, seasonality and growth; it leaves out purchase prices.

What are the most profitable Airbnb locations in West Virginia?

By revenue per listing, among markets with at least 200 listings, Snowshoe leads at $36,800 a year, ahead of Davis at $35,300. Profit also depends on what a property costs to buy and run, which varies far more between markets than revenue does.

How much does an Airbnb make in West Virginia?

The average active listing in West Virginia earned $30,500 over the 12 months to October 2026, at 39% occupancy. Across the ranked markets, the middle half averaged between $18,800 and $35,300 per listing. Averages include listings that operated for only part of the year, so a listing rented all year typically earns more.

What is a good Airbnb occupancy rate in West Virginia?

The average listing in West Virginia was booked on 39% of available nights over the past 12 months. Half of the ranked markets fall between 38% and 43%, so a market above about 43% sits in the top quarter. Occupancy is only half the picture: a market with lower occupancy can still earn more if its nightly rates are higher.

Where is Airbnb demand highest in West Virginia?

Among ranked markets with at least 200 listings, Fayetteville has the highest occupancy, with 41% of available nights booked, followed by Davis at 35%. Its listings average about $265 a night and $33,000 a year.

July is the highest-earning month for 6 of the 10 ranked markets, followed by January (2). February is the most common slowest month, in 5 of the 10 markets. Each market's report shows its own month-by-month revenue, occupancy and rates.

Which Airbnb markets in West Virginia earn the most evenly through the year?

Among ranked markets with at least 200 listings, Davis has the steadiest income: its slowest month, April, still earns about a third of its best. Fayetteville follows, at 30%. Steadier markets are easier to budget for, though they do not always earn the most per listing.

Which Airbnb markets are growing fastest in West Virginia?

Among ranked markets with at least 200 listings, revenue per listing grew most in Davis, up 15% on the year before, and in Snowshoe, up 12%. A single strong year can reflect events or new supply, so it is worth checking a market's monthly trend before relying on it.

Is Airbnb still profitable in West Virginia in 2026?

Revenue per listing grew in 8 of the 10 ranked markets with a comparable year of data; in the typical market it rose 8%. Whether a given property profits depends on its purchase price, financing and running costs.
