CANCELLATIONS AND REFUND REQUESTS We understand there can be unforeseen circumstances regarding your travel plans. Please note that travelers who cancel at least 60 days before check-in will receive a 100% refund. If there is a cancellation between 30 and 60 days before check-in, a 50% refund will be granted. No refund will be given if the cancellation is within 30 days of your stay. It is our recommendation that travelers consider purchasing travel insurance from a 3rd party carrier in order to transfer the potential financial impact a cancellation may cause. We do not do so on your behalf. Third party insurance carriers can reimburse the traveler for prepaid, nonrefundable trip costs when someone must cancel for a covered reason. Regardless of whether you purchase travel insurance or not, we try to minimize the financial impact an unforeseen circumstance may cause. If a guest cancels less than 60 days before a stay, we will immediately open the booking calendar and look to rebook those dates with a different traveler. Although we cannot guarantee the success of this, the cancelling guest will only be financially responsible for the difference between their booking and the new one, if any. PLEASE NOTE: As of March 14, 2020 Air B&B no longer considers Covid as an extenuating circumstance for travelers who need to cancel.
