SharedStead

For families who share a place

The place is in the family.
Keep it that way.

If your family shares a cabin, cottage, compound, or an inherited place, SharedStead gives you one fair calendar, a shared house manual, and a private place to coordinate, without the group-text chaos or the spreadsheet only one person understands.

Common questions

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 admins can set booking rules so no one quietly grabs every holiday week. It’s transparency, not a free-for-all.

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 community, not any one person.
