THINGS TO KNOW
CANCELLATION & REFUND
  • Without Deposit Protection: no refund, no reschedule
  • With it: cancel up to 60 days before arrival
  • With it: one reschedule up to 30 days before
How it works

Bear Camp’s standard terms are strict — without Deposit Protection there is no refund and no reschedule, for any reason. Deposit Protection is added at booking, and it is what opens the cancellation window.

This cabin has four or more bedrooms, so the 4+ bedroom terms apply: cancel at least 60 days before arrival for a refund, or reschedule once if you ask at least 30 days before arrival. Inside 60 days the deposit is forfeited.

How this compares: the default terms here are stricter than a typical platform cancellation policy, so this is worth understanding before you book rather than after. What Deposit Protection adds that most strict policies elsewhere do not: a free reschedule.

PAYING FOR IT
  • 50% deposit at booking
  • Balance due 30 days before check-in
  • Deposit Protection is chosen at booking
How it works

You pay half when you book and the rest thirty days before check-in — the same date the reschedule window closes. Nothing is charged in between.

Deposit Protection has to be added at the time of booking. It cannot be added later, so if there is any chance your dates move, decide at checkout.

PROPERTY PROTECTION
  • Three tiers: $500, $1,000 or $2,500
  • Covers accidental damage during the stay
  • Chosen at booking
How it works

Property Protection covers accidental damage during your stay up to the tier you pick — $500, $1,000 or $2,500 of coverage.

It is not insurance for your trip; it covers the cabin. Deposit Protection, above, is the one that covers your dates.

Check-in 4:00 PM EST · check-out 10:00 AM EST, billed at $125 per half hour after · the booking guest must be 25 or older on a four-bedroom cabin or larger. Terms are Bear Camp Cabin Rentals’; the rental agreement governs.
