About SabbaticalHomes
**The problem it solves** Academics on sabbaticals and visiting scholars need furnished housing for one semester to a full academic year, terms that fall awkwardly between short-term rentals and traditional leases, with the trust that comes from a peer community. **What SabbaticalHomes does** SabbaticalHomes is a US-based niche accommodation marketplace serving the global academic community by connecting professors, researchers, postdoctoral fellows, and visiting scholars with furnished home rentals, home exchanges, and house-sitting arrangements during sabbaticals, research fellowships, and extended academic placements. **How it works** The platform supports multiple accommodation models: home exchanges where two academics swap properties for overlapping periods without paying rent; rental-with-house-sitting where a scholar stays at reduced cost in exchange for light property care such as plant watering or mail collection; and traditional furnished rentals with academic-calendar-aligned terms. Owners list via an annual subscription and communicate directly with prospective tenants to set custom terms and pricing. Listings cover furnished homes near university campuses globally, many with dedicated home offices suited for writing and research. A review system covers completed stays. The platform operates in more than 65 countries, and many universities formally recommend SabbaticalHomes to faculty and graduate students as a trusted off-campus housing resource. **Who it's for** Academics on sabbatical leaves typically lasting one semester to a full academic year, visiting scholars at partner institutions, and postdoctoral researchers on temporary assignments, competing with Furnished Finder and Spotahome through deep penetration of university housing networks.
