SharedStead

One place for your shared home away from home

Everyone who loves the place,
in one place.

Sharing a cabin should bring the family closer, not wear it down. One calendar everyone can see, turns that rotate fairly, and every detail about the place kept in one private spot.

Sound familiar?

Sharing a well-loved place shouldn’t need endless logistics.

Calendar invites that bounce, get ignored, or never sync

“Who gets the July long weekend?”

Digging through old texts to find the Wi-Fi password or trash pickup day

Tracking down maintenance requests and contact info

It should just need the right people, and one place to keep them all on the same page.

Everything in one place

Built for the way families share

Fair booking calendar

A shared calendar for every property. See who’s coming when, claim your dates, and end the “whose turn is it?” debate.

Members & roles

Organize people into families and give the right folks admin powers. Invite by email; approve who joins.

House manuals & checklists

Opening, closing, and storm-prep procedures live right where everyone can find them. No more lost binders.

Photos & memories

Shared albums so every season at the place is kept together, for everyone who loves it.

More than one family

A road, a lake, a compound. Families keep their own calendars and their own privacy, and still see who is around. Plus a shared board for news and plans.

Reminders & notifications

Gentle nudges before a stay and alerts when someone books, by email and in the app.

The place is what holds the family together. SharedStead takes care of the logistics so the people who love it can focus on being there.

Good questions

Frequently asked

Can more than one family share a place?+

Yes, and it is the part other tools do not do. A road, a lake, or a compound can hold several families at once. Each keeps its own calendar, its own members, and its own privacy, while still seeing who is around and sharing a board for news. Most apps stop at a single household.

I want to create this but I don’t want to be the admin.+

That’s okay. You can add co-admins to share the work, or hand the admin role to someone else entirely, so the place never depends on any one person.

Is it fair to everyone?+

Yes. Every member sees the same shared calendar, and a family admin can ask us to switch on booking rules: put the family into groups, give each group its turn to book each season, rotate the order every year, and cap nights per person if you like. The calendar tells everyone whose turn it is. Booking rules are in public preview and off until your family asks for them, so families that do not need them never see them.

Is our information private?+

Your community is invite-only and walled off from every other community on SharedStead. Only the people you invite can see your calendar, posts, and photos.

Can we add guests or other families?+

Absolutely. Group people into families, invite as many as you like, and give trusted members admin access to help run the place.

What if someone leaves the group?+

Admins can remove a member at any time. The place, and all its history, stays with the family, not any one person.
