Seasonal Cancellation Policy

[Jim-and-Gwen0]

This is a real blindspot for Airbnb.  We rent our camp Summer weeks  (lake) and off-season weekends (skiing mostly).  Summer tends to book quite a ways in advance as people make their annual vacation plans. Off-season tends to book more spur of the moment.  When it comes to length of stay settings, hosts are able to set a seasonal exception.  We should be able to do the same thing with our cancelation policy. We don't mind a moderate policy off-season so we can encourage bookings and people who are worried about lack of snow, etc. don't have to worry about being killed on charges.  But when someone books two Summer weeks then cancels 5 days out we are screwed.

So now Summer dates are starting to open up 6 mos out.  I either need to allow people to book with a moderate cancellation policy or I need to switch to strict and probably lose some late January, February and March weekend ski bookings.
