All efforts will be made to match the original reservation; however, if that is not a possibility, the voucher may be applied towards any available property Big Sky Vacation Rentals manages, and Guest is responsible for any difference in rental rate. Please note fear of travel related to COVID-19 or quarantine requirements in your home state are not an unforeseen circumstance. Guest acknowledges that COVID-19 is not an unforeseen circumstance.
