Four siblings who inherited it.
One of them has kept the calendar in their head since their mother died, and dreads every July.
For families who share a place
The shared cabin runs on one person. They chase the plumber, keep the calendar in their head, and work out what everyone owes. Heirloom is how you stop being that person.
Someone notices the propane is low. Someone has the well guy's number. Someone works out what everyone owes and then has to bring it up at dinner, again, and be the bad guy about it.
Nobody volunteered for that job. Heirloom hands the rules back to the family, so the keeper stops being the one who enforces them.
Some places are split between siblings. Some are one family who lends it out constantly. Heirloom fits the arrangement you already have, and calls the place what you call it.
Four siblings who inherited it.
One of them has kept the calendar in their head since their mother died, and dreads every July.
Two families and a rotating cast of college friends.
Half the summer is guests who own nothing and still need the door code and the trash rules.
Nine cousins, third generation.
The rotation was written into the trust in 1994 and nobody has looked at the document since.
Pick how your family takes turns: a rotation, a draft for the weeks everyone wants, or plain first-come. Set it once and the calendar applies it. Requests go in, approvals come back, and the Fourth of July stops being a negotiation.
Subscribe it to your phone's calendar and it stays current. No app to install for the people who just want to see when the place is free.
What broke, who fixed it, what it cost. When the septic was last pumped. Which plow guy actually shows up. The manual for a water heater installed in 2011.
All of it currently lives in one person's head and one person's phone. Ten years from now it should live somewhere the next generation can find it.
One screen per stay: the dates, how to get in, the WiFi, what to bring because there is no laundry, and what to run through before they lock up.
It works with no signal. People arrive after dark, at the end of a dirt road, with one bar. That is exactly when they need the door code.
Every family has the document. A Google Doc nobody can find. An email somebody resends every June. A laminated sheet taped inside a cabinet. Send us whatever you have and we will turn it into your place. You confirm what we got right.
If an attorney drafted a cabin LLC or trust agreement, send that instead. It already says who votes, who pays, and who gets the holidays. We read those too.
