Our story
Institutional investors have data teams for this.
You have Chalet.
We're software engineers who became STR investors and hit every wall first-time buyers hit — scattered market data, unclear regulations, unreliable income estimates. Chalet is the platform we built when the one we needed didn't exist. Free since 2021.
What we believe
Every investor deserves the data that institutional buyers already have.
Free access, no paywalls.
Market intelligence should not be locked behind subscription tiers. Every Chalet tool — analytics, income calculator, regulation lookup — is free to use, unlimited.
Curated partners, not paid listings.
The agents, lenders, and managers in our network earn their place through results — not a check. We vet every referral partner against their own transaction history.
Our origin story
Eight tools.
Zero certainty.
Bought our first vacation rental. Immediately lost weeks juggling eight different tools with no single source of truth.
Launched Chalet — one free platform that replaces all of them, built on the same data infrastructure we used at SaaS companies.
Over 1 million properties tracked across 500+ markets. Thousands of investors use Chalet every month to research, buy, and grow.

Who we are
Built different,
by design.
We're not analysts who write about real estate. We're investors who built the tools we needed — then opened them to everyone.
We ship products, not presentations.
Our team built large-scale data systems at SaaS companies before Chalet. We apply the same engineering discipline to every feature investors see.
We use Chalet on our own properties.
We're active STR owners. Every metric we surface and every data point we include has been tested against a real portfolio — ours.
We only refer partners we'd hire ourselves.
The agents, lenders, and managers in our network are vetted through our own investing experience — not a directory anyone can pay to join.
How we're different
Specific claims.
Provable ones.
Anyone can claim to be data-driven. These are the three things that actually distinguish how we work.
1M+ live listings tracked.
Not estimates.
Our data comes from active reservation calendars, not surveys or third-party aggregates. When you see a number on Chalet, it reflects what hosts are actually earning right now.
STR-only partners.
No generalists.
Every agent, lender, and manager in our network specializes in short-term rentals. We vet them against their own transaction history — not a certification or a paid listing slot.
We deployed our own capital first.
Not a theory.
We bought vacation rentals, ran the numbers, and hit the same walls investors hit. Chalet was built to solve problems we personally encountered — and still encounter.
