CANCELLATION DUE TO COVID:
Reservations made after March 14, 2020 are no longer covered under our extenuating circumstances policy, except where the guest or host is currently sick with COVID-19. COVID-19 related circumstances not covered include: transportation disruptions and cancellations; travel advisories and restrictions; health advisories and quarantines; changes to applicable law; and other government mandates—like evacuation orders, border closures, prohibitions on short-term rentals, and shelter-in-place requirements. Our regular cancellation policy will apply as usual.
After the declaration of COVID-19 as a global pandemic by the World Health Organization, the extenuating circumstances policy no longer applies because COVID-19 and its consequences are no longer unforeseen or unexpected.
It is recommended guests purchase travel and/or cancellation insurance to cover any fees or loses.
- In the unlikely event that circumstances beyond the owners control necessitate the cancellation of the booking, the owner reserves the right to cancel any bookings at that time and will only be liable to refund monies already paid by the guest.
