Utah Airbnb Prices by Market
Utah mixes a capital city, red-rock national-park towns and one of the priciest ski-resort markets in the country. The table uses AirDNA’s market pages, which report the average nightly price paid on booked nights over the trailing 12 months.
| Utah market | Average daily rate | Occupancy | What drives the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | $125 | 60% | Small eastern Utah city with lower-cost stays. |
| Salt Lake City | $165 | 66% | Business, airport and ski-access base. |
| St. George | $272 | 53% | Southern Utah base for Zion and golf trips. |
| Moab | $303 | 57% | Arches and Canyonlands gateway town. |
| Park City | $767 | 45% | Ski-resort market with many large homes. |
Note: ADR is the average price paid on booked nights. It mixes room types and home sizes, and AirDNA tracks short-term rentals generally rather than Airbnb alone. AirDNA’s Springdale page showed charts only through 2023, so it is left out here. Live figures change monthly.
Park City’s $767 is about $642 above Price’s $125. A private room or small condo will often sit below its market average, while a ski-in house can sit far above it.
What Changes Utah Airbnb Prices
- Resort versus city: Park City is full of large ski homes, while Salt Lake City and Price are mostly smaller stays.
- National-park access: Moab and the St. George area serve Arches, Canyonlands and Zion, and demand is steady for much of the year.
- Season and weekends: ski season, spring and fall park trips, and holiday weekends are the busiest periods.
- Hot tubs, views and group capacity: common premium features in mountain and desert markets.
- Distance from the main attraction: a short drive away can lower the rate, but add fuel and travel time.
For groups, compare cost per person. A $400 home shared by eight guests is $50 each per night before fees and tax.
Pro Tip: Compare midweek and shoulder-season dates as well as weekends. The discount varies by property, but moving off holidays and ski peaks often widens your choices.
Fees and Taxes to Budget For
Airbnb says US guests see a fee-inclusive total price before taxes on all listings, so mandatory fees such as cleaning should already be in the displayed price. Under the split-fee structure, the guest service fee ranges from 14.1% to 16.5% of the booking subtotal.
Warning: Do not automatically add another 15% to the price Airbnb displays in the US. That can double-count fees already included. Open the price breakdown at checkout.
The Utah State Tax Commission says the transient room tax covers temporary lodging for stays of less than 30 consecutive days, is charged in addition to sales and other applicable taxes, and varies by location and may change quarterly. Rely on the tax lines at checkout.
A flat cleaning fee makes short stays costlier per night. For example, a $150 cleaning fee is $75 a night on a two-night stay but about $21 a night on a seven-night stay.
How to Save on a Utah Airbnb
- Pick the right base. Salt Lake City and Price average far below Moab, St. George and Park City.
- Avoid holiday and ski peaks. Midweek and shoulder-season dates are usually cheaper.
- Stay longer. The cleaning fee is spread over more nights, and some hosts offer weekly discounts.
- Split a larger home. Compare cost per person against separate rooms.
- Filter only for what you need. Hot tubs, ski access and views narrow supply and raise prices.
- Compare total prices. A lower cleaning fee can beat a cheaper nightly rate.
