About Vacation Cottage

Vacation Cottage is an operating brand of Canadian-based UpNext Group. Vacation Cottage and is one of our newer properties, launching in 2013. It is a continuation of our efforts to provide better travel to travelers around the world. In fact, we have helped more than one million travelers book accommodations since our beginning. Vacation Cottage connects users to high-end holiday cottages and rental options in premium destinations, leveraging our connections with partners and a network of travel suppliers to put you in top stays spanning the globe. At this time, we do not provide direct booking capabilities on our website (though we are working on this), but rather elect to refer the traveler back to our partner to complete the trusted transaction. We want to put travelers in incredible stays in their ideal destinations, and we can do this if we provide better price comparison and bring more efficiency into the entire travel market.

To make changes to your reservation for your hotel, cottage rental, or activity, please visit the partner’s website with whom you booked. As an affiliate provider, we consolidate multiple travel sites in one easy search; however, we cannot access your reservation information. Please check your email for reservation details to see the partner with whom you have booked. At this time, no bookings are made directly via our website, so we are unable to help you modify, cancel, or change a reservation.

At Vacation Cottage, we have listed the properties from our partners, including many online travel agents (OTAs) and direct via channel managers who distribute their inventory onto sites like ours, and the entire UpNext Group network. It is likely that you had agreed for the added distribution when you signed up with their services. We refer all our visitors to our partners or direct to our property owner’s sites and do not take bookings on our site directly. Our job is to help travel sellers efficiently promote their inventory and sell more travel and ensure that fewer nights go un-booked. There is no additional cost to listing on our network.

If your property has been removed from a partner’s website, it is possible that we still have cached the listing or are in the process of having it be removed from our website. In time, it will also be unpublished from our network of sites. If you would like to remove it faster, please contact us and we will see if we can help.

Vacation Cottage currently lists properties from our partners and a select network of online travel sellers. We are introducing functionality that will allow direct listings via select channel managers, bringing even more properties onto our network. To learn more about listing with us on Vacation Cottage and the complete UpNext Group network, please click here to learn more about Adding a Listing. We will be updating this page as we start accepting more direct listings.

Each property listed on our website has a detailed listing. These listings often include photos, amenities, property policies, and more. This information has been received from our partners, directly from the property manager/owner themselves, or from the information we have managed to find online about the property from multiple sources. This has also included information we may have extracted from analyzing the images of the photos, the neighborhood in which the property located, or similar properties in the same complex. However, Vacation Cottage is not responsible or liable for the accuracy of these results. While we attempt to be as accurate as possible, should you have a specific question or concern, we encourage you to contact the property owner directly via the website to which we refer you to.

We strive to show accurate pricing for a property based on the lowest nightly rate we have been able to find for a property. For the most accurate pricing, please input your date range and search for the property. You will be referred to the partner or the property owner’s website to confirm the specific pricing. We are working on functionality to find you the best price across multiple websites for the property you are interested in. Stay tuned as we refine this feature.

Vacation Cottage was launched first in 2013 after nearly a decade of building travel brands and website. The company evolved out of needs identified across the UpNext Group family of websites, of which Vacation Cottage is a part of. UpNext Group helps travelers find the perfect place to stay, easily comparing rentals, condos, hotels, RVs, boats, and resorts across an ever-growing network of niche travel brands and websites. Vacation Cottage operates in multiple countries and languages.

Vacation Cottage relies on the eco-score created by One Degree Left, a sister-company operated by parent company UpNext Group. This company looks at a number of factors to help score all properties based on a variety of sustainability factors. We believe that we can help elevate properties that have good environmental and sustainability practices. If we identify a property that has good practices, we will rank that property higher in our search results than other properties. By ranking these properties higher, hopefully they will be booked with greater frequency and nudge behavior by a small factor… by ‘one degree’ if you will. While it is not perfect, it is part of our commitment to driving more sustainable travel.

We believe life is better when you venture out and explore the world. You meet other people, you connect with family and friends, you do more business, and you have new experiences. In short, travel creates memories. Travel brings people closer together and fosters better understanding of each other and ourselves.
