Property coverage
Cottage and seasonal property.
A place that sits empty for months is a different risk, and most insurers price and word it differently.
What it covers
The parts worth getting right.
- Seasonal or year round occupancy, rated honestly
- Docks, boathouses and outbuildings
- Liability for guests and for rentals
- Water and freezing coverage while nobody is there
Commonly missed
Renting the cottage out, even a few weekends a year, changes the risk. An undeclared rental is a good way to have a claim questioned.

A place nobody visits for four months is a different risk, and an undeclared rental is how a claim gets questioned.
Common questions
Asked most about this.
Can I rent it out?
Yes, if it is declared. Even a handful of weekends changes the risk, and insurers price it rather than refuse it.
What about water while it sits empty?
Freezing and escape of water are the two big seasonal exposures. Some insurers require the water shut off or a monitored temperature alarm.
