Heading awayfor a while?

Open your home to someone who needs it while you're away — three weeks in Europe, a stint back home, a work posting up north. Cover your costs, or just keep the place lived-in.

Why open your home here?

You get to know who's staying before you say yes.

Invited, not anonymous

Every guest joined because a member vouched for them. You can see who that was.

You choose the dates

Set the weeks you're away and change them whenever your plans change.

Talk before you decide

Message guests, ask whatever you want, and say no to anyone. Nothing is automatic.

Someone to ask

First time hosting? A few hundred hosts in the Facebook group have done it, and we're around too.

How it works

Open your home while you're away, keep it lived-in, and cover your costs.

1

Add your place

Photos, a description, your dates and your weekly rate. Most hosts have it up in an afternoon.

  • Photos of your actual home
  • Your weekly rate
  • The weeks you're away
2

Talk to them first

Read their profile, message them, ask questions. Say yes only if it feels right.

  • Who they are and why they need a place
  • Chat before they book
  • You decide who stays
3

Relax while you're away

Your guest knows they're staying in someone's home, not a rental.

  • Arranged directly with your member
  • No middleman, no fees
