Stay the Week is a website for homeowners to share their homes, cabins, condos, apartments, second homes, etc with the people they trust. Homeowners can list their properties and send private invites to friends and family. Guests can then register and begin booking their stays at the shared property. The listings are always private and only the homeowner and guest can see them. No more texting/emailing back and forth. Know who is staying where and when.
I got the idea for Stay the Week after my wife and I were invited to spend the weekend at the lake house of my sister's in-laws. I emailed them two weeks in advance with the dates we would like to stay. They said that was fine and to have a relaxing time on the lake. The drive was over two hours to get to the lake house. The sun was setting and my wife and I unloaded our bags and groceries from the car and started to cook dinner. Just as we were sitting down to eat, the front door opened. It was the in-law's other son, his wife, and their kids. The in-laws forgot to tell him that we were staying there that weekend. It was no big deal as well all knew each other well and we ended up having a nice weekend together. After we had gotten home, I found out that this has happened more than once. The in-laws had kept forgetting who was staying at the house, and couldn't keep track of the emails and text messages. I built Stay the Week for homeowners who share homes with friends and family but do not want the complexity or public exposure of Airbnb-style marketplaces. The goal is simple: private invites, clean booking, blackout dates, and a better experience for trusted guests. If you own a cabin, beach house, lake house, or second home and still coordinate stays by text and email, this is for you.
