Vacation Home Insurance in Kentucky

Vacation homes and cabins bring a different set of risks than primary residences - especially when they're empty part of the year. Vacation home insurance helps protect your second property from damage, liability, and unexpected losses while you're away.

Part-Time Living Creates Full-Time Risks

Second homes are often unoccupied for long periods, which can increase the risk of:

Undetected water leaks

Freeze damage during winter

Theft or vandalism

A standard homeowners policy may not always be the best fit for these situations.

How You Use the Home Matters


Personal-Use Only

If your vacation home is used only by you and your family, coverage focuses on property protection and personal liability.


Short-Term or Part-Time Rental

If you rent your cabin or lake house - even occasionally - insurance needs change. Rental activity can affect liability, coverage terms, and eligibility.

We'll help match the policy to how often the home is occupied and whether it's rented.

Coverage Options for Second Homes
