Say how far along you are
Summer 2027 and a max of eighty is enough to start. Exact weekend optional. Unknown is a valid answer.
For the cousin who got stuck planning it
Send the family one link. They vote on the month, the region, the headcount and the budget. You get a shortlist of places big enough for all 25 to 100 of you, and an email ready to send.
No app to download. Family answers by link, no password.
Somebody says “we should do something next summer.” Fourteen people like it. Nobody picks a weekend. Somebody pastes a cabin that sleeps twelve.
You invite the six to twelve households who can actually veto a month or a region — the ones who steer the trip, not the whole eventual guest list.
Summer 2027 and a max of eighty is enough to start. Exact weekend optional. Unknown is a valid answer.
Magic link, no password. They mark months they can do, a size, a ceiling, musts and vetoes. Quiet people can skip a chip.
Everyone sees counts, not names. One more pass if you want. Then you lock — even if two cousins never opened the email.
Hard filters first. Score after. Pin up to three grounds, then copy a ready-to-send inquiry with dates, headcount, and mix.
A compound on the river with a dozen one-bedrooms and a row of two-bedroom suites. A cabin village you can walk. A retreat campus that has done reunions for thirty years.
The math is simple enough to read aloud at the table.
| Lever | How y’all decide |
|---|---|
| Season & region | Everyone ticks what they can live with. If there is an overlap, that is the lock. If not, you pick among the top two. |
| Headcount & cabin mix | Median, not average. One uncle who wants 120 people does not drag the number. |
| Budget | A ceiling per person for the stay. We keep the tightest household. Cheaper is always allowed. |
| Must-haves | A chip becomes a filter when about seven in ten need it and almost nobody vetoes it. “Skip” does not count as a no. |
| Stairs, kids, access | One household that cannot do steep ground can keep it off the list. A mild “no pontoon boats” cannot. |
| The cards | Love / yes / no / skip. You pin three. You send the email. |
25 to 100 people, an undecided destination, and a group big enough that one house won’t hold it — that’s the trip this is built for.
“Keep answers anonymous in the group.”
Default on. Decision-makers see counts. You can always see who's still deciding, so you can herd them along. Named mode exists for the sibling group that already fights in the open.
Summer and a headcount is plenty. We’ll ask the rest of the decision-makers to fill in the rest.
Free to plan — just a shortlist and a ready-to-send inquiry email when you're ready.
“Summer 2027” is a valid start. We lock a month or a window once the decision-makers have spoken, or whenever you call it.
The people who can veto a region or a month — the six to twelve who actually decide, not the whole eventual RSVP list. Overnight headcount still belongs on the form; the guest list can live somewhere else.
You get a pin list and a ready-to-send inquiry email with dates, headcount, and mix. The lodge is usually a family operation, so you're the one who talks to them directly.
We work from the operator’s own grounds, not listing pages — the place that has hosted reunions since somebody’s papaw found it.
