An Airbnb pricing strategy is the set of rules that decide what each night is worth: base, minimum and maximum prices, seasons, events, minimum stays, gap nights, last-minute pricing, length-of-stay discounts and channel markups. The tool applies the rules; the strategy is what makes the tool worth having. Smart Pricing is not a strategy, because it optimizes for Airbnb's fill rate and knows nothing about your events or other channels.
What I plan around in Indiana Dunes: Indiana Dunes National Park beaches; Chicago weekend escapes via the South Shore Line; Michigan City lighthouse and outlets; Blue Chip Casino and lakeshore dining. Guests I price for: Chicago families and couples on 2 to 3 night summer weekends. Where I start: Summer weekend premiums with 2-night minimums, holiday-week pricing, and winter floors.
I run Indiana Dunes and Michigan City pricing on Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com in PriceLabs or Wheelhouse, with weekend minimums tuned for Chicago guests, holiday overrides for the Fourth and Labor Day, autumn football lifts in Michigan City, and winter floors that cover your cleaning and heating costs.
The service in general is described on my airbnb pricing strategy page; this page covers how I apply it in Indiana Dunes.
I set the base from a real comp set, a minimum that protects your margin and a maximum that stops you underselling a peak night, listing by listing.
I build seasonal profiles and event premiums from the local calendar, so rates move before demand does and not after.
Minimum stays, gap and orphan nights and length-of-stay discounts are set to fill the calendar without discounting the whole month.
I configure OTA markups so your net rate is the same on Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo, and leave time to ask anything about pricing.
My Dunes pricing strategy starts with the distance to sand. Inside PriceLabs or Wheelhouse I set a base for a walk-to-beach home and position others below it by how much driving and parking they need. Then I build weekend minimums, holiday overrides and a softer weekday curve for summer, and I add separate autumn lifts for Michigan City football weekends.
The first item on our call is the summer weekend minimum, because the choice between one and two nights shapes everything else in the calendar.
Spring migration and the Indiana Dunes Birding Festival bring visitors before swimmers, so I lift Saturdays a little, keep Sunday to Thursday cheap, and start summer pricing at Memorial Day.
Every Friday and Saturday is valuable; I open summer early, hold the weekend minimum until about ten days out and keep weekday rates attractive for families who can travel midweek.
A small, quiet town inside the national park with its own South Shore Line stop; I price homes here as premium car-free weekends and keep strict summer minimums.

For Airbnb pricing strategy, the first changes are base and minimum prices and the seasonal profile, since those drive most of the revenue in Indiana Dunes. From November to March, price for couples who want the quiet lakeshore, with low floors, one-night weekday stays and weekly offers. Next: price homes by walking time to the beach, with a clear step down for anything that needs a car and paid parking.
Busiest in Indiana Dunes: June to August, with summer weekends the highest. June to August: Every Friday and Saturday is valuable; I open summer early, hold the weekend minimum until about ten days out and keep weekday rates attractive for families who can travel midweek. September to October: Warm September weekends still sell to Chicago couples and home football games lift Michigan City, so I shorten stays and price each weekend on its own merits. For Airbnb pricing strategy, the strategy I build sets seasonal profiles, event premiums and minimum-stay rules around these windows before they open for booking.
For Airbnb pricing strategy, for the quiet months I set the minimum price, last-minute and gap-night rules and length-of-stay discounts so nights fill without dropping below your floor. Quietest in Indiana Dunes: November to March. April to May: Spring migration and the Indiana Dunes Birding Festival bring visitors before swimmers, so I lift Saturdays a little, keep Sunday to Thursday cheap, and start summer pricing at Memorial Day. November to March: Lake-effect snow and empty beaches mean I chase short couple escapes, casino weekends and hikers on the dune trails, with low floors and single nights allowed outside holiday dates.
Summer Saturdays sold as single nights, stranding the Friday and Sunday and inland homes priced like beach-walk cottages. I look for these first when I review Airbnb pricing strategy in Indiana Dunes, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For Airbnb pricing strategy, i set base prices and comp sets per area, with a separate profile where two parts of Indiana Dunes behave differently. Michigan City and Washington Park: Beach, lighthouse, outlets and the casino give year-round reasons to visit, so I price these homes on a softer seasonal curve than the dune towns. Beverly Shores and Chesterton and Porter get their own treatment.
Michigan City lighthouse and outlets, Blue Chip Casino and lakeshore dining and Indiana Dunes National Park beaches are the dates I price first for Airbnb pricing strategy in Indiana Dunes. November to March: Lake-effect snow and empty beaches mean I chase short couple escapes, casino weekends and hikers on the dune trails, with low floors and single nights allowed outside holiday dates.
For Airbnb pricing strategy in Indiana Dunes, each channel gets its own markup, so the net rate you receive is the same wherever the booking comes from. Indiana Dunes sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. November to March: Lake-effect snow and empty beaches mean I chase short couple escapes, casino weekends and hikers on the dune trails, with low floors and single nights allowed outside holiday dates.
Whether local registration and Indiana's innkeeper's tax are in place, since requirements differ between Michigan City, the small beach towns and unincorporated parts of LaPorte and Porter counties. For Airbnb pricing strategy, i check this before touching a single rate, because a base price built on the wrong assumption makes every rule worse.

Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number.
