Making Short-Term Rental Investing Simple, Transparent, and Data-Driven

Chalet was born from a simple frustration: investing in short-term rentals shouldn't require juggling ten different tools. When we bought our first vacation rental in 2019, we quickly realized how fragmented the process was.

You had to visit one site for market data, another for listings, a third to estimate potential returns, a fourth to check regulations, and several more to find local service providers. Each step required hours of research and guesswork — and even then, it was hard to know if the numbers were reliable.

We built Chalet to change that.

Our Origin Story

From Frustration to Solution

When we bought our first vacation rental in 2019, the process was a nightmare. One site for market data. Another for listings. A third for ROI estimates. A fourth to check regulations. And countless more to find reliable service providers.

Every step required hours of research and guesswork — and even then, we couldn't trust the numbers.

We came from tech backgrounds, building large-scale software systems and data products for leading SaaS companies. We knew this problem could be solved with better technology and better data.

So we built Chalet — not just for ourselves, but for every investor tired of piecing together insights from a dozen different sources.

Who We Are

Tech builders turned real estate investors

Before Chalet, our team spent years building large-scale software systems, data products, and partnerships with leading SaaS companies. We brought that same technical rigor and problem-solving mindset to real estate investing.

We're not just platform builders — we're active short-term rental investors who use Chalet for our own properties. Every feature we ship, every data point we surface, and every partner we vet comes from real-world experience managing vacation rentals.

What started as a personal project to streamline our own investment research has grown into a platform empowering thousands of investors to make smarter, data-driven decisions.

How We're Different
