[quote=Anonymous]If family or close friends are responsible and you have a good relationship including good communication, I say yes.

Our cabin in the mountains is very old and it has a fairly long list of things that need to be done at arrival, during, and on departure. Anyone who asks to stay there has to go over the list with DH before finalizing, and a few people have decided it’s not worth it. We do have a caretaker that comes by to check but he doesn’t charge much. When he retires or dies that cost will probably increase significantly. I think if we had someone frequently asking to use it we might ask them to chip in then.

We haven’t had any major issues. People have forgotten to do things or broken something a few times but have always communicated if they realized and been very apologetic. Overall I’d just say it’s a blessing to be able to share and it’s ok to have some boundaries. If you know someone will be destructive it’s ok if it’s always unavailable when they ask.[/quote]
