A Better Way to Stay Informed

ThirdHome is built around exceptional travel experiences, and many of those opportunities move quickly.

Text alerts are simply another way to help stay connected to the trips and opportunities you care about most.

Great stays don’t happen by accident.

They happen when Guests and Hosts do these simple things really well.

At ThirdHome, the most memorable stays aren’t just about beautiful homes or bucket-list destinations, they’re about thoughtful, respectful exchanges between members. When expectations are clear and communication is strong, everyone wins.

To help keep experiences smooth and enjoyable across our community, we’re sharing a few simple reminders for both Guests and Hosts. These small habits go a long way toward creating trips that feel effortless from booking to checkout.

Count Your Crew

(Maximum Occupancy Matters)

Guests: Before booking, always take a moment to review the maximum occupancy listed on the property page. This number reflects the total number of people allowed on the property at all times, including overnight and day guests.

If a listing shows a maximum of six guests, that means six people total, no exceptions. Should you need to host additional visitors during the day, it’s important to reach out to your Host in advance to request permission.

Hosts: Clear occupancy details help Guests plan appropriately and prevent uncomfortable situations during a stay. Highlight maximum guest limits prominently and keep listing details current so expectations are aligned from the start. This helps keep homes and trips comfortable, compliant, and enjoyable for everyone involved.

Say Hello Early

(Member-to-Member Communication)

Guests: Once your reservation is confirmed, a quick message to your Host makes all the difference. Reaching out early allows you to confirm details, ask questions, and share arrival plans. Plus, it gives Hosts the opportunity to prepare for your stay with confidence.

Hosts: Guests are often eager to begin planning right away, and a brief check-in sets a positive tone from the start. Thoughtful communication helps avoid last-minute surprises and ensures everyone feels supported.

Look Before You Book

(Avoiding Cancellations)

We strive to keep cancellations to a minimum across the ThirdHome community, as they impact both Guests and Hosts.

Guests: Before completing your reservation, carefully review key details such as dates, number of bedrooms, and the property’s exact location. This helps avoid cancellations due to overlooked listing information shortly after booking.

Property pages are designed to help you make confident decisions — but if anything is unclear, your Member Experience Associate is always happy to help before you book.

Hosts: A well-maintained property page helps Guests feel informed from the start. Use your property page to proactively address common questions around layout, location, and house rules so Guests know exactly what to expect before booking. Bonus tip: Keep property photos up-to-date to ensure you’re accurately representing your home.

Being a great Guest (and a great Host) doesn’t require extra effort, just a little extra intention. When everyone follows these simple best practices, trips run smoothly, homes stay protected, and the community remains strong.

The result? Fewer hiccups, more memorable stays, and a travel experience that feels just as good as the destination itself.

Bruce has been a member of the Club since 2012. Keep reading to hear about his journey along the Rhine River with ThirdHome Adventures and Uniworld River Cruises.

Read his full testimonial below:

As a boy, my family lived beside Germany’s enchanting Black Forest. Summer days were filled with adventure—my friends and I would hop on our bikes and ride to the the banks of the Rhine River. School field trips took us across borders to Basel, Switzerland and Strasbourg, France, sparking a lifelong love of travel. 

Despite having explored much of the world since then, I’d never been drawn to cruise trips. When ThirdHome Adventures offered the opportunity to revisit this beloved region through Uniworld’s “Castles Along the Rhine” cruise at a significantly discounted price, I was immediately intrigued. 

What a plesant surprise to discover Uniworld Boutique River Cruises is widely regarded as the pinnacle of river cruising. From the moment we stepped aboard, it was clear: this was no ordinary vacation. Every detail—first-class accommodations, gourmet dining, impeccable service, thoughtfully curated excursions—was elevated to a level of luxury that exceeded my expectations. 

For me, it was more than just a scenic voyage. It was a return to the landscapes of my youth, now seen through the lens of refined comfort and nostalgia. The flexibility to tailor each day to our own pace—whether joining a guided tour or enjoying room service in our suite—made the experience feel both personalized and indulgent. The truly all-inclusive nature of the trip (yes, even top-shelf drinks and gratuities!) meant we could fully relax and savor every moment. 

To say we’d love to relive that magical week is an understatement. We’re now devoted fans of river cruising and proud ambassadors of Uniworld. Thank you, ThirdHome Adventures, for opening this door—we can’t wait to see where you’ll take us next.

Il y a 4 jours

Encore confidentiel, l’échange de logements très haut de gamme commence à séduire en France. Sur des plateformes sélectives, les voyageurs s’invitent dans des villas spectaculaires ou des résidences de rêve, à condition d’ouvrir leur propre maison. Luxe discret, mais réel.

L’échange de maisons a le vent en poupe. Encore confidentiel, l’échange de logements très haut de gamme commence lui aussi à trouver sa place en France. Séjourner face à Buckingham Palace ou dans une villa paradisiaque au cœur d’une réserve naturelle d’Afrique du Sud, des rêves en passe de devenir possible… sous certaines conditions.

L’échange de maisons, tendance de la décennie

Rien que sur la plateforme HomeExchange, sorte de Airbnb de l’échange testé pour vous par la rédaction du Figaro, ce ne sont pas moins de 460.000 échanges qui ont eu lieu l’année dernière, dont presque un tiers en France. Viennent ensuite l’Espagne, les États-Unis, l’Italie et le Canada.

Dormir chez l’habitant, sans l’habitant, séduit une nouvelle génération de voyageurs. Économies, écologie, tranquillité, immersion… les arguments sont nombreux. S’y ajoutent la simplicité d’organisation, grâce à des plateformes comme HomeExchange, Intervac, Homelink ou Switchome, et une certaine idée de la confiance mutuelle. Beaucoup évoquent même un sentiment de reconnaissance inattendu : prêter et se faire prêter un logement sans transaction financière crée un lien. Une magie que les plus fortunés découvrent à leur tour.

En savoir plus

HomeExchange Collection : quand le service fait la différence

Depuis 2022, HomeExchange propose une version plus exclusive baptisée HomeExchange Collection. L’abonnement annuel passe de 175 à 850 euros, pour un accès à des logements plus haut de gamme : maison en bois signée David Zahle au Danemark, loft ultra-connecté à Brooklyn, villa avec piscine au cœur de Singapour…

Mais ici, le luxe se niche aussi dans le service. Les membres Collection bénéficient d’un assistant personnel capable de rechercher des séjours à leur place et, surtout, de les accompagner en cas d’imprévu. Après un mois dans une maison coloniale en Colombie, puis une semaine dans un appartement avec rooftop à Bogotá, Valérie, cheffe d’entreprise à la retraite, voit son échange suivant à Medellín annulé à la dernière minute : «Il ne restait que quelques jours pour rebondir. L’assistance a cherché, sans succès. Mais ils ne m’ont pas laissée tomber : ils nous ont réservé une très belle chambre d’hôtel, jusqu’à 350 dollars la nuit, pour la semaine.»

Un accès réservé aux maisons d’exception

Payer des frais plus élevés que le commun des mortels ne suffit pas pour rejoindre HomeExchange Collection. La sélection se fait sur dossier. « Quatre critères sont pris en compte : la valeur du logement, l’emplacement, la conception et les équipements », détaille David Bucci, directeur de la plateforme. Un algorithme interne évalue plus de 200 points pour garantir l’équité. Une maison située dans un lieu moins prestigieux peut tout de même être retenue si elle excelle en design ou en confort. En pratique, les biens estimés à moins de 500.000 euros ont toutefois peu de chances d’intégrer la sélection.

ThirdHome : un club très privé

Bien plus confidentiel, jouant la carte du luxe assumé, ThirdHome veut prendre de l’ampleur à son tour sur le marché français. Comme son nom le sous-entend, il s’agit de proposer un échange aux propriétaires ayant déjà une résidence secondaire d’exception. Née aux États-Unis, l’entreprise a été fondée par Wade Shealy, entrepreneur milliardaire. L’histoire officielle veut que cet ancien étudiant géorgien, qui vendait des bibles en porte à porte, ait fait fortune dans l’immobilier de villégiature avant de créer ThirdHome. Son idée : pouvoir voyager selon ses critères d’exigence, tout en faisant vivre sa propriété secondaire en la prêtant à d’autres membres triés sur le volet.

Gaëlle, Française installée en Angleterre et propriétaire d’un somptueux château dans la vallée de la Loire, a été repérée via ses annonces de location. «Il suffit de rendre sa maison disponible une semaine par an pour accéder au catalogue», explique-t-elle. Inscrite depuis plus de 10 ans sur ce site jusqu’ici confidentiel, elle le recommande les yeux fermés : « C’est un club de propriétaires qui prêtent aussi leurs résidences. Ils sont donc respectueux. Nous avons même reçu des célébrités. Mais surtout, nous n’avons jamais eu un seul souci alors que lorsqu’on loue le château, souvent nous sommes confrontés à une philosophie assez désagréable qu’on peut résumer par “je paye donc je fais ce que je veux…” »

L’échange comme marque de confiance

Malgré les frais d’adhésion à la plateforme ainsi que, pour chaque séjour, de 500 à 2000 dollars la semaine, Gaëlle voit les avantages : un assistant personnel pour trouver la perle rare pour ses prochaines vacances et l’accès à 17.000 très haut de gamme dans le monde. Les membres cumulent des « clés » en fonction de leurs échanges et bénéficient, eux aussi, d’un assistant personnel pour organiser leurs vacances. Villas de rêve en Thaïlande, penthouses avec vue sur Buckingham, chalets design dans le Colorado : tout est accessible, ou presque.

«On entre dans la vie privée de nos hôtes. Il y a les photos de famille, les bibliothèques… C’est un privilège, et tout le monde joue le jeu», note Gaëlle. Aujourd’hui, ThirdHome cherche activement à élargir son catalogue en France. Un “club dans le club” permet d’accéder aux biens les plus rares en priorité. Gaëlle se souvient ainsi d’un séjour à Ibiza dans une maison louée habituellement 40 000 euros la semaine. La vie de château… même loin du sien.

No matter how you travel with ThirdHome, travel insurance is an important part of preparing for your trip. ThirdHome offers a travel insurance program from USI Travel Insurance Services to cover different types of trips and travelers, including for leisure or business travel outside of ThirdHome-related trips.

Single Trip Tour Protection Plan for U.S. Residents

The most popular plan option for single trips is the Tour Protection Plan for both domestic and international travel. This comprehensive plan includes Trip Cancellation coverage up to $25,000 per person, Trip Interruption, Trip Delay, Baggage & Personal Effects, Baggage Delay, Emergency Medical Expense, Emergency Medical Evacuation, and more. If the insurance is purchased within 14 days of initial trip payment, the traveler is also eligible for the Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR) upgrade.*

Multi-Trip Annual Plan for U.S. Residents

If you travel frequently for either business or leisure (or both), the multi-trip annual travel insurance plan may be for you. Designed to take the hassle out of buying insurance for each trip, this plan offers a full suite of post-departure benefits, plus a selection of limits for Trip Cancellation coverage, up to $5,000 annually. Post-departure benefits include Trip Interruption, Trip Delay, Missed Connection, Baggage Delay, Baggage & Personal Effects, Travel Medical Expense, Emergency Medical Evacuation and more. The plan covers as many trips as you take during the plan year (up to 40 days in duration per trip).

Global Protection Plan for Non-U.S. Residents

Finally, there’s a plan for non-U.S. residents, too. The SafeTrip plan covers non-U.S. residents traveling outside their home country for the unexpected, including Trip Cancellation, Trip Interruption, Emergency Medical & Dental Expense, Medical Evacuation and more.

24/7 Assistance Services for Insurance Plans

The plans above include access to 24/7 worldwide travel assistance—a non-insurance benefit that many travelers find to be extremely valuable. The assistance services can support you in many circumstances, including if you lose your passport or another important document, need a new prescription when you’re far from home, experience illness or another medical emergency and need to see a physician or go to the hospital, or any other time you may need emergency support on your trip.

AirMed: Medical Evacuation Plan (Non-insurance)

If you’re concerned about medical evacuation coverage, you may wish to add an AirMed plan membership. AirMed is a non-insurance plan for those seeking a flexible and specialized air medical transport option. This plan may be selected in addition to the single trip Tour Protection Plan or the multi-trip annual plan. Because AirMed is a membership and not insurance, members may call on the service when needed and are not bound by the terms, conditions and approvals of an insurance policy. The AirMed membership also offers more choice as to where to be transported in the event of an emergency.

If you would like to learn more about the travel insurance program for ThirdHome members, or to get a free quote, please visit the program website. If you have questions about plan coverage or would like to speak with someone, please contact the USI Travel Insurance Services Customer Service team at customercare@travelinsure.com or 855.874.0156. Be sure to mention that you are calling in reference to the ThirdHome program, account #50054.

*CFAR upgrade offered at an additional cost. Not available to NY residents. Terms apply; see plan document for details.

Traveling to new destinations is a thrilling adventure, but ensuring your health and safety should always be priority number one. Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway or an extended vacation, taking proactive measures can make a difference in safeguarding your well-being throughout your vacation.

Before You Depart

Research Your Destination

Before leaving, it’s paramount to familiarize yourself with the health conditions of your destination. Take the time to delve into the local health codes, potential risks, and essential vaccinations needed for your travels. Checking travel advisories and gaining insights into prevalent diseases or health concerns specific to the area you’re visiting ensures that you’re well-prepared to proactively safeguard your health throughout your trip. This knowledge equips you to take preventive measures and make informed decisions to minimize health risks during your travels.

Get Vaccines

Before jetting off to your destination, a crucial step toward ensuring a healthy journey involves consulting a healthcare professional. This visit ensures that you’re not only up-to-date but also equipped with all the necessary vaccinations required for your specific destination. Many countries mandate specific immunizations as a prerequisite for entry, making it imperative to comply with these requirements. Seeking guidance from a healthcare provider allows you to navigate through the intricate web of necessary vaccinations, providing you protection against potential health risks at your travel destination.

Pack Basic First Aid Supplies and Medication

A compact first aid kit is a traveler’s best companion, offering reassurance and preparedness for unforeseen situations on the road. Packing essentials such as band-aids, antiseptic wipes, pain relievers, and any prescribed medications is a proactive step toward managing minor injuries or ailments during your journey. Ensure the kit contains an ample supply to cover the duration of your travels, allowing you to address minor health concerns swiftly and effectively. This simple yet vital precautionary measure can make a significant difference in managing unexpected health-related issues while you explore new destinations.

While You’re Away from Home

Know How to Find Medical Care

Before setting foot in a new destination, it’s essential to familiarize yourself with the locations of medical facilities and emergency services. Research nearby hospitals, urgent care centers, and clinics to have a plan in place should you require medical attention during your travels. Equally important is saving emergency contact numbers, including local services and your country’s embassy or consulate. Being prepared with this crucial information ensures swift access to assistance if the need arises.

Be Mindful of Food and Transportation

Prioritizing food safety and secure transportation creates a healthy and secure travel experience. Choosing reputable restaurants reduces the likelihood of encountering foodborne illnesses, emphasizing hygiene standards and quality ingredients. Exercise caution with street food, particularly in areas where sanitation might be a concern. Additionally, relying on authorized transportation options, such as licensed taxis or recognized services, ensures safer travel, minimizes risks associated with unregulated modes of transportation, and enhances overall safety while navigating through unfamiliar locations.

Stay Vigilant and Aware

Maintaining awareness of your surroundings is important, particularly in bustling or unfamiliar settings. Stay vigilant by safeguarding your belongings and staying mindful of potential risks in crowded areas. For example, pickpockets can be an issue in very busy areas. They are very practiced and are able to swoop in, grab your valuables, and leave before you know anything is gone. Keeping valuables secure and considering carrying your backpack in front can deter theft in busy places, minimizing the possibility of incidents and allowing you to navigate through crowded spaces with greater peace of mind.

Buy Travel Insurance for Protection

Investing in travel insurance provides a safety net against unexpected events such as accidents or illnesses before or during your trip. USI Travel Insurance Services offers plans for every type of trip, giving you peace of mind while exploring new destinations. You can always visit our plan website, or contact the USI Travel Insurance Services Customer Service team for help selecting the best plan for your travel needs. Their representatives are available Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time and can be reached at (855) 874-0156 or customercare@travelinsure.com. Be sure to mention you are traveling with ThirdHome, account #50054.

Cottar’s Mara Bush Villa in Masai Mara, Kenya

Overview

Cottar’s Mara Bush Villa is located on the award-winning Cottar’s Safari Camp in Kenya, bordering the world-famous Maasai Mara National Reserve. Cottar’s Bush Villa won the World Travel Award for Africa’s Leading Luxury Private Villa in 2016 and is Global Eco-Sphere Retreat accredited. Located next to the Savannah Plains, the luxury villa sleeps up to 12, and guests can enjoy privately guided game drives, night game drives, bush walks, swimming, and fishing and can even witness the Great Wildebeest Migration known over the world.

Cottars History

Cottar’s Safaris Services was established in 1919 and was one of the first registered safari companies offering superior game hunting and film safaris throughout Africa, India, and Indochina. Among the Cottar’s long list of achievements, many were firsts. They were the first to import American safari vehicles, the first to reach new areas like Lake Paradise, and the first service to obtain rare safari footage. The Cottars were even the first safari company to establish a tented photography camp in the 60s. 

Property Look

The Bush Villa has five bedrooms and six bathrooms and offers complete privacy, with a secure and secluded road leading to the house, which makes it a perfect immersion into nature. 

The villa comes with a dedicated staff of eight (one waiter, one housekeeper, two security guards, a guide, and a wildlife spotter). And if you were worried you wouldn’t have access to modern amenities, you can rest assured that the villa has internet access throughout, satellite TV and DVD, and is powered with electric and solar energy.

Trail’s End in Whistler, Canada

Overview

This six-bedroom, eight-bathroom chalet is known around Whistler as the most luxurious getaway in the entire community. Located in the in-demand Kadenwood neighborhood, this ski-in/ski-out retreat sits on 7,500 square feet on a private slope. Trail’s End bursts with luxuries, such as heated floors throughout the home, an espresso bar, a sparkling water dispenser, and a covered, heated entertainment deck.

About Whistler

Whistler Blackcomb is one of the best and most well-known ski resort areas in all of North America. Ranked by USA Today as one of the top 11 resorts this side of the Atlantic. Not only does it offer some of the best skiing for all levels, but it’s also got one of the top villages for après-ski activities, rivaling those famous Austrian ski villages you always hear about. 

Seascape Escape in Koh Samui, Thailand

Overview

This four-bedroom, four-bathroom villa is nestled within the grounds of the W Koh Samui Luxury Resort, located on the popular Koh Samui Island—the second-largest island in Thailand. Seascape Escape overlooks the Gulf of Thailand, which is world-famous for its scuba diving and deep-sea fishing.
