A seasonal home is what we call a property that’s used for recreation. It’s used for a set period of time during the year, and is unoccupied for long periods of time. For example, a cottage you use on summer weekends but leave empty during the winter months would be a seasonal home.

If you rent out your seasonal home, you may need additional coverage for short-term rentals. For more information, check out our coverage details or talk to a financial representative.

It’s a good idea to tell your insurance company if you’re completing any renovations. Depending on what’s being done, the replacement value of your seasonal home may need to be adjusted.

Our base seasonal home policy package includes basic water damage protection, for damage from say a leaking pipe. We offer additional comprehensive water damage protection to cover damage from things like sewer back-up, flooding, and more. Learn more about our comprehensive water protection.

Coverage for boats can be added to your home policy, making it convenient to protect what you love. Coverage limits and covered risks vary by policy type. Learn more about our coverage details for watercraft.
