*Highly recommend travel insurance when booking
** We do not accept any date alterations for any reason. We also do not process refunds. We recommend all guests to purchase travel insurance incase you are unable to make your reserved dates. In the winter there is snow and a 4WD is recommended. We do not offer refunds for any reason including weather. Thank you
Damage Protection: Insurance vs. Security Deposit
We offer two options for protecting your stay:
Security Deposit – A refundable amount held during your stay and returned after checkout if no damage is found.
Vacation Rental Insurance – A non-refundable, low-cost option that covers accidental damage up to a set limit.
Why We Recommend Insurance:
✔ Better Coverage – Protects against accidental damage beyond what a deposit covers.
✔ Less Upfront Cost – No need to tie up funds with a large deposit.
✔ Hassle-Free – No waiting for refunds or disputes after checkout.
For peace of mind and a smoother experience, we highly recommend choosing the vacation rental insurance option. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out!
