Travel to Z

I agree with everything Tim said.

We have a rental, so understand what the people you are renting from are going through. When you made the agreement to rent the place in Madera, you knew what the cancellation policy was. Everyone knows that COVID is an issue and has to make their own decisions as to whether or not they are willing to bet on the current situation when reservations are made. January and February are the, "make it or break it" months for rentals here. By cancelling this close to your dates and getting a refund, you are possibly causing the business to not survive another season. Things are very tough.

We have had to discuss what we are going to do if we have a cancellation and what we can do if a guest tests positive and has to stay longer than they had planned. That isn't a fun discussion, but it wouldn't be fun for the person involved either. It works both ways.

Good luck with your decision. Do come visit! We live here and wouldn't live anywhere else.
