[quote=Anonymous]I do have a second (small)  home (beach house)  and I've offered use of it to all my siblings.  My ex brother in law will be at the beach this summer and I offered him the use of all my water sports equipment.  (He rents a large mansion with like ten friends).  I don't mind any friend or family asking me if they can use it when I am not there.

That said, it is COMPLETELY inappropriate for entitled people to ask you to stay there for THREE MONTHS?  That is insane.  With dogs?  I own two dogs, and no, no, no.

To a PP who posted, I would be fine with "hey remember when you asked us if we wanted to use the house?".  The owner has indicated to you that you have a relationship that includes this kind of sharing.  And it's very different than asking for months or weeks at a time.  And it's very different from pushing if the owner has demurred in some way.

And I don't mind if friends and relatives want to swim, use my dock, use my fish cleaning station, whatever.  But like another pp said, if the owner says "please text me if you are going to swim" then you do not get an attitude about it.  Goodness.
