Can I rent out my cottage and still get insurance?

What is the difference between home insurance and cottage insurance?
While both cover property and liability, cottage insurance is specifically designed for homes that aren’t occupied full-time. Cottages are often vacant for long periods, exposed to harsher weather, and may lack winter access or full utilities.
Because of these risks, insurers offer tailored coverage that differs from traditional home insurance.
