Is there a security deposit required to rent a Blue Mountain chalet?

Blue View takes a $500 security deposit as a standard hold on every chalet booking. On check-in day it is authorized on your credit card, not charged — the funds are held but not taken. After you leave, the hold is released about 7 business days after departure, provided the chalet is left without damage and the house rules and occupancy limits were respected. For most guests it simply falls off the card with nothing deducted. Review this alongside check-in times and payment terms on the FAQ page.

The deposit protects the property, so it's only at risk with damage or a policy violation. The most common rule to respect is maximum occupancy — strictly enforced under the Town of Blue Mountains by-law and ranging from 10 to 14 guests depending on the chalet — along with no open fires or fireworks, and following the pet policy. Staying within your headcount and treating the chalet with care is all it takes to get the full hold released. Check each chalet's occupancy cap on the chalets page so your group books a property sized to fit everyone.

Plan for the $500 hold to be available on your card at check-in, separate from the nightly rate you pay at reservation. Since it's a temporary authorization, it isn't part of your true trip cost on a clean stay — but the room on your credit limit needs to be there. Pair this with the other items to budget — applicable taxes and a pet fee if you bring a dog — and you have the full picture.
