Question 1

What is your cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

Cancellation Policy:
If you cancel 61 or more days prior to your check-in date, you will receive a full refund minus a $100 cancellation fee.
If you cancel 60 days or less before your check-in date, no refund will be issued unless we are able to re-rent the cottage. If we can re-rent the cottage, you will receive a full refund minus a $100 cancellation fee.
​
We are a small family resort with a limited number of cottages available for rent on a seasonal basis. Our business relies heavily on each booking, as our operating season is short. When you book a cottage with us, we reserve that accommodation exclusively for you, turning down other potential rentals in the process.
​
Cancellations have a significant impact on our business, especially when they occur close to the check-in date. At that point, it becomes challenging for us to re-rent the cottage because most people plan their vacations well in advance. 
​
We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise, leading to the need to cancel your reservation. However, we kindly ask for your understanding of our situation as a small business with a limited number of cottages. Your cooperation and empathy are greatly appreciated as we strive to make your experience with us as enjoyable as possible.
