Adverse snow conditions, wildfires, flight cancellations, airport or road closures, war or acts of terrorism, illness, bereavement, exigencies of business cannot be accepted as reasons for cancellation. If Wildfires are present in the area we do not offer refunds due to weather conditions or smoke in the air. Refunds will be provided if an evacuation order has been given to your specific address, processing fees will also be deducted from the amount refunded. If an evacuation alert has been provided to your address, and you feel more comfortable leaving we will give you a 50% refund (less processing fees also) for the nights not used. Northern Host Rentals recommends purchasing third party travel/cancellation insurance.

Vehicles with oil found leaking on driveways will be held responsible for the clean-up fees to remove the oil.

We have select properties that offer a boat slip with their home please enquire if you are planning to bring a boat and require moorage. Otherwise, we can also provide information for day parking or weekly parking for your boat and trailer through third party location.

Golf Cart Rentals are made available through a third party and recommended for properties in The Cottages on Osoyoos Lake.
