Where does RevFactor operate in Colorado?
Colorado holds 12 RevFactor listings in three markets, and every market has a page. Denver Metro has 5, four in Westminster and one in Denver itself. Glenwood Springs has 5, all in the city. Teller County has 2, one in Divide and one in Cripple Creek.
| Market | Listings | Localities and listings |
|---|---|---|
| Denver Metro | 5 | Westminster 4, Denver 1 |
| Glenwood Springs | 5 | Glenwood Springs 5 |
| Teller County | 2 | Divide 1, Cripple Creek 1 |
The three markets are very different places to run an Airbnb: a metro area, a mountain town and a county west of Pikes Peak. The table below keeps them separate, since a state average would describe none of them.
What do Colorado Airbnb markets earn?
Three Colorado localities were pulled from AirROI on 2026-10-16. The samples are 352 listings for Westminster, 264 for Glenwood Springs and 116 for Divide. The pulls cover one locality each, so Cripple Creek and Denver proper are not measured separately.
| Market | ADR | Occupancy | RevPAR | Lead time | Stay | AirROI listings |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Denver Metro | $267 | 51% | $143 | 37 days | 5.4 nights | 352 |
| Glenwood Springs | $395 | 48% | $203 | 51 days | 3.1 nights | 264 |
| Teller County | $310 | 53% | $173 | 53 days | 3.7 nights | 116 |
| Computed across 3 RevFactor markets (unweighted mean) | $324 | 51% | $173 |
Glenwood Springs leads on rate at $395 a night and on RevPAR at $203. Denver Metro sits lowest on both, with $267 ADR and $143 RevPAR, and Teller County falls between them at $310 and $173.
Occupancy runs the other way. Teller County fills 53% of nights and Denver Metro 51%, while Glenwood Springs fills 48%. The most expensive market is the least full of the three, which is a common pattern in resort towns and one a strategist has to price around.
Stay length separates the metro from the mountains. Denver Metro guests stay 5.4 nights, Teller County guests 3.7 and Glenwood Springs guests 3.1. A metro stay is closer to a work trip or a long weekend with family, and a mountain stay is a short getaway.
The unweighted mean across the 3 markets is $324 ADR, 51% occupancy and $173 RevPAR. I print it because a state figure was asked for, but no single Colorado market looks like it, and I would not price a home from it.
When do Colorado markets earn the most?
All three Colorado markets have a monthly RevPAR series, and all three peak in the same month. That is useful for an owner with more than one home, because the high weeks line up and the low weeks do too.
| Market | Best month | Best RevPAR | Weakest month | Weakest RevPAR | Best to weakest |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Denver Metro | July | $232 | February | $91 | 2.5x |
| Glenwood Springs | July | $356 | April | $113 | 3.2x |
| Teller County | July | $286 | April | $102 | 2.8x |
Each market peaks in July: $232 in Denver Metro, $356 in Glenwood Springs and $286 in Teller County. The weakest month is February for Denver Metro and April for the other two. Glenwood Springs swings 3.2 times from best month to weakest, Teller County 2.8 times and Denver Metro 2.5 times, so the mountain markets need much more rate movement.
What happened to RevFactor listings in Colorado?
One Colorado home has a full case study: a 2-bedroom cabin in Glenwood Springs, owned by Zoey. The figures below are booked pacing for June to August 2026 as of the May data pull, which is on-the-books revenue and not earned revenue.
| 2BR cabin in Glenwood Springs, CO | On the books | Same time last year |
|---|---|---|
| Booked revenue, Jun to Aug 2026 | $29,327 | $8,692 |
One cabin is one example. It shows how the strategy reads on a 2-bedroom in a market with 264 active listings, and it does not set expectations for a Denver townhome or a Divide cabin. See all case studies.
How do we price an Airbnb in Colorado?
A Colorado home gets one of three treatments. In Glenwood Springs, $356 in July against $113 in April means the rate has to move a lot. A flat rate that works in July leaves the calendar empty in April, and one that works in April gives away July.
In Teller County I start from the lead time. Guests there book about 53 days out, and the 3.7-night average stay means a house turns over often. The county's 53% occupancy is high for a resort-style market, so the work is protecting rate on the dates that fill, not chasing the empty ones.
Denver Metro is steadier and I treat it as one. Its best month is $232 and its weakest is $91, a 2.5-times range against 3.2 times in Glenwood Springs. With a 37-day lead time, the shortest of the three, rates have to react to a calendar that fills closer to the stay date.
Because all three peak in July, an owner with two Colorado homes faces one problem: the best weeks are the same for both. I set minimum stays for those weeks first, then work outward to the shoulders, where the two markets part ways.
The Glenwood Springs case study home is a 2-bedroom cabin, and its pacing is the evidence I would point to for a mountain home. I read it as one data point, since a 2-bedroom has a smaller comp set than the 264-listing market suggests.
Orphan nights, the vacant dates stranded between bookings, fell from 25.0% to 11.9% of vacant nights across the RevFactor portfolio. In a 3.1-night market, closing a gap matters more than in a market where stays run longer.
The owner keeps the Colorado guest relationship, the turnovers and the listing text. I take the nightly rate, the floors and the calendar, and I work from the host's PriceLabs account so the owner can see every change.

Who is RevFactor for in Colorado, and who is it not for?
A GOOD FIT
- You own one to five Colorado homes, in the mountains or the metro area, and want the rate to follow each place's calendar.
- Your cabin earns most of its year in a few summer weeks and you want the shoulder months priced on their own evidence.
- You own in two Colorado markets and need the shared July peak handled before the quiet months.
NOT A FIT
- You expect the service to deal with Colorado guests and housekeeping. It covers rate and calendar rules, not operations.
- You expect the Glenwood Springs case study result for any cabin. It is one 2-bedroom, and pacing is not a forecast.
- You hold more than five Colorado homes and expect the flat fee to apply; larger portfolios get a separate quote.

Listing counts come from the RevFactor coverage map on the about page. Market figures come from AirROI's market summary for one locality per market, pulled 2026-10-16. Monthly RevPAR series come from AirROI for all three markets. The state mean is my arithmetic: an unweighted average of the 3 market figures, not an AirROI statewide number, and no Colorado region endpoint was used. Ratios are arithmetic on the printed values. Case study figures are booked pacing from the case study page.
