Ann Arbor Named Top Trending City for Airbnb This Fall

ANN ARBOR – Tree Town is the seventh trending destination for American travelers this fall, according to Airbnb.

The hosting company recently released a list of the best trends Labor Day and Fall destinations based on number of nights booked.

As a premier college town, Ann Arbor owes its fall popularity to the upcoming football season.

In 2018, Tree Town Airbnb hosts won $1.55 million during Michigan games. That number jumped to $4 million in fall 2021, with an average payout per host of nearly $6,000 between September and December, officials said.

“And with new listings activated and booked in the first quarter of 2022 being booked faster than a year ago – with the average time to get a first booking for the majority of new listings being around a week – there remains still plenty of time for Ann Arbor residents to meet demand,” Airbnb said.

In 2021, Airbnb reported an increase of more than 210% looking for short term rentals in Ann Arbor between August and September just before the big football game between the University of Michigan and Ohio State.

Here are the top 10 fall destinations:

• Ocean City, New Jersey

• Bella Vista, AR

• Oxford, MS

• Santa Ana, California

• La Mesa, California

• Baton Rouge, LA

• Ann Arbor, MI

• Lubbock, TX

• Lexington, Kentucky

• Wheat Ridge, CO
