Need seasonal insurance?

Owning a cottage or vacation property is a dream, but it comes with unique risks. We offer specialized insurance solutions that protect your seasonal home.

WHY COTTAGE INSURANCE MATTERS

Your retreat deserves real protection

Seasonal homes are often unoccupied for extended periods, making them more vulnerable to damage and break-ins. Cottage insurance isn’t just a modified home policy—it’s tailored protection based on how often the property is used, whether it’s rented out, and what’s stored on-site. We help you navigate the complex coverage options to find a policy that fits.

How much does cottage insurance cost?

Cottage insurance isn’t one-size-fits-all. Your premium depends on several factors—how often you use the property, its size and rebuild value, proximity to a fire station, type of septic system, and whether you rent it out. Because insurers use different underwriting methods, prices vary widely. That’s where we come in. At Rowat Insurance, we work with a broad network of trusted providers to compare policies and find you the best coverage at the most competitive rate. Bundle options may also be available to help you save even more.
