If you are impacted by formal government travel restrictions and have a pre-existing reservation with us (booked before September 1, 2020), we are allowing you to use your deposit as a travel credit towards a future stay within the next 18 months of your original dates, given that we are provided at least 31 days notice prior to your confirmed reservation dates.

- 35% deposit due at time of booking.
- Remaining balance due 60 days prior to arrival
- Cancellations will forfeit any deposit payments received***
- Once full payment is taken, no refunds are given if all or any part of the reservation is cancelled, either before arrival date or during the stay***
- No shows are regarded as a cancellation.
- Should you still require a cancellation, we will issue a full refund providing we can fill the same dates with a replcement rental.
*** Formal Government Travel Restrictions – Due to Covid-19***
- Should your travel plans be impacted due to (FORCE MAJEURE) COVID-19 formal government travel restrictions or a complete Whistler Blackcomb Resort shut down, a refund will be processed minus a 10% administration fee on monies received, or a 100% credit will be issued, to be used within 18 months of original arrival date.
- This credit is valid towards a stay at these properties only, dependent on availability.
- This credit is valid on direct bookings only. Any booking made through third-party sites, unfortunately, will not be authorized use of this credit.
