We have a strict no refund/no reschedule policy. No exceptions for any reason whatsoever without deposit protection. If you have ANY concerns regarding the possibility of cancelling or rescheduling for ANY reason, including but not limited to illness, accidents, family emergencies, Acts of God, Force Majeure, pandemics, impracticability of performance, federal state or local travel restrictions, etc., we strongly encourage you to get Deposit Protection to protect you against ANY and ALL unforeseen events where you would need to cancel or reschedule.
Deposit protection gives your reservation a cancellation policy. Without deposit protection you will have a zero-cancellation policy and zero reschedule policy. Should you have to cancel your reservation at any point, for any reason, you will lose what you’ve paid up to that point. No exceptions, since the cancellation policy is offered at booking. By not purchasing deposit protection, you will accept that you forfeit all monies paid if you have to cancel your reservation.
Deposit protection is available at the time of booking and allows for:
A 30 day cancellation policy for 1-3 bedroom properties with 1 free reschedule up to 15 days prior to arrival.
A 60 day cancellation policy on 4+ bedroom properties with 1 free reschedule up to 30 days prior to arrival.
For cancellations made outside of the 60 or 30 days, Bear Camp refunds the entire amount of your payments made minus the cost of deposit protection.
For cancellations made inside of the 60 or 30 day time frame, when the cancellation policy has expired, you will be allowed to reschedule your stay within 1 year if rescheduling within 15 days for 1-3 bedrooms or 30 days for 4 or more bedrooms, but no monies will be refunded. After 1 year all monies are forfeited. Guests are allowed 1 free reschedule with the Deposit Protection. Any additional reschedules would claim Deposit Protection so you would need to repurchase the protection for continued coverage. With a reschedule, Bear Camp retains the cost of the deposit protection. So your payments, minus the cost of the deposit protection, will be applied to your reschedule.
Without Deposit Protection, absolutely no refunds.
Any refunds may take up to 30 days to process. In the event of a now-show, all money paid is then forfeited. In the event a unit is sold or becomes unavailable, Bear Camp Cabin Rentals reserves the right to change rental units without notice and liability.
