You sit $6.67 per bedroom per night under the size-adjusted trend. That sounds small. Across 216 bedrooms and 365 nights it is about $527K a year.
What this ranking covers. These are the 8 Minnesota operators we could measure bedroom by bedroom, the ones with public Airbnb or direct-booking listings. The largest listing count in Minnesota belongs to Evolve, a national franchise brand rather than a regional operator, so it is not part of this comparison. Every rank word on this page, including yours, refers to this comparable set, not to the whole market.
RevPAR rewards whoever runs the biggest homes. Revenue per available bedroom strips that out and compares operators on the same axis. Here are the 8 comparable Minnesota operators, bedroom for bedroom.
Re-rank these 8 operators by RevPAR per bedroom and the order scrambles. Operators that look strong on raw RevPAR are often just renting bigger homes. The per-bedroom view is where the real pricing performance shows.

*Listing counts are AirDNA estimates (aggregated across Airbnb, VRBO, and direct, typically within 5-15% of an operator's internal numbers); bedroom averages are sampled from public listings. National brands and operators with no public listing to measure bedrooms from are excluded from the per-bedroom ranking.
Bigger homes tend to earn less per bedroom; a four-bedroom doesn't normally rent for 4x a one-bedroom. The dashed line is that size-adjusted trend across the comp set. The fair question isn't "are you below the field," it's "are you below the line for your size."
That is the size-adjusted benchmark, not the raw market average. The distance between it and where you land today is the headroom this analysis is built to find.
That's #8 of 8 rated operators here. The operators clearing 4.80 set the ceiling, and closing that last 0.13 of a point compounds straight into the nightly rate guests will accept.
The same homes, priced and managed on a daily yield strategy, recover part of this gap. Even a partial close is a material RevPAR lift on inventory you already own.
Closing the per-bedroom yield gap to the credible benchmark for your size.
Size of the prize, not a promise. Both sides were computed from the same dataset.
First-year RevPAR lift across Pacer's client portfolio (clients with 12+ months of tenure).
Indicative range on your estimated $4.4M base, bottom quartile to top. Where you land depends on a conversation we haven't had yet.
No commitment, no audit, no pitch. We learn your business and where you feel friction; you learn how Pacer thinks.
The gap math is transparent: (benchmark RevPAR/BR − your RevPAR/BR) × your total bedrooms × 365. The lift bands reflect clients with 12+ months of tenure and are estimates, not the cherry-picked standout wins. There is no fee in this benchmark; pricing is discussed in a tailored proposal after the intro call, never per unit. We do not commit to a number for Sota Lake Home Rentals until we've had a real conversation about your business. Every engagement starts with an intro call, then a custom proposal.
Six yield layers and the YES Scorecard, the same per-bedroom discipline you just saw, run daily against your calendar instead of once on a benchmark.
AI agents surface the moves; a senior revenue manager owns the call. You get software speed with an operator who knows your market.

We built this from public data in an afternoon. With your booking and rate data, Pacer pinpoints exactly where the yield is leaking and runs the daily pricing strategy to recover it.
