When our guest's aren't relaxing by the creek they're enjoying drinks on the large covered deck, bird watching by the pond, or doing yoga on our creekfront decks. They also LOVE our living and dining areas, BBQ'ing and reconnecting in this newly remodeled and stylish home. The vibe here is chill so if you're seeking down time in the great outdoors; you've found it! Unique & fun books, slippers, blankets, & everything you need to take it easy is provided. The Creekside Cottage is located in the hills above Longview. This listing includes 3 comfy bedrooms and 2 pristinely cleaned bathrooms, 2 kitchens, 2 dining and living room areas, a spacious entryway, and a desk area. It is also one accommodation at My Tiny Creekside Retreat, a small event venue with several overnight options which include the cottage, tiny homes, an A Frame Cabin, and a vintage caravan. Our location truly is the perfect and affordable getaway for adventurous guests seeking a centralized accommodation, within a short drive from Portland or Seattle, who are looking to explore the Washington Coast and Long Beach, Astoria and Seaside Oregon, Mt. St. Helens and the Ape Caves, Beaver Creek Falls, as well as the the historic and scenic Port of Kalama with fun new shopping and tourist attractions. Unless you have an event contract with us which includes the entire complex, all outdoor areas are shared with other guests who may be staying in one of our tiny homes, the A Frame cabin, or our vintage caravan. These include, but are not limited to the grape arbor sitting area, fire pit/s, picnic tables, creekfront yoga decks and beach area. The morning of your arrival the directions, parking, and precise check in details will be provided. My Tiny Creekside Cottage, the Arbor Suite, and Rusty's Room are private accommodations with multiple entrances and bathroom access points. We value your privacy so interaction with other guests or hosts who may be on site is not required or expected during your stay. Human neighbors are friendly, but enjoy the privacy that country life ensures. The numerous animal neighbors are furry, or feathered, and some are approachable; but most are pretty shy. (deer, frogs, birds, raccoon, bobcats, quail, squirrels, skunks, etc...) If you're interested in visiting attractions or restaurants and shopping destinations in and around My Tiny Creekside Retreat, you'll find our favorites listed in the Household Handbook and on our website. There is no public transit available. There is, however, taxi service available which can pick you up and drop you off at the train station in Kelso if needed. My Tiny Creekside Retreat in Longview WA is a rural accommodation and small event venue. If you intend to cook during your stay, we recommend that you stop by one of the many convenient grocery stores on your way to check in. If you intend to dine out, the list of our favorite restaurants and destinations is included in our Helpful Household Handbook; a guidebook you will find in the unit. We have also recently added a Camper's Closet at the Retreat, a convenient one-stop-shop for some of the items (ie Smores, Firestarter, Lunch kits and more!) and services (Grocery and flower delivery, etc...) you may need or want during your stay. As well, guests can reserve our shared laundry room for 24 hours by ordering this add on amenity via the Camper's Closet! Ordering is easy peasy and the link will be forwarded to you prior to your arrival. After you place your order, you'll receive an email (separate from this reservation) for where to go and and how to access the items you have purchased. For a harmonious coexistence in our cozy space, we kindly ask you to consider these simple guidelines to make the most of your pet-friendly stay: 1. To ensure everyone's safety, we request that pets remain leashed when outside. 2. We have a bit of a no-pets-on-the-furniture policy. That includes beds and lofts too! 3. Our general limit is two pets per stay, unless we've chatted and made special arrangements. 4. Cat lovers, bring your own litter box along for your feline friends. 5. We've got you covered with pet waste bags—please use them for clean-ups, every single time. 6. We're all about quality time together, so let's avoid leaving furry friends solo in the homes. 7. Oopsie moments happen! If they do, there are handy cleaning supplies under the sink. 8. A little daily sweep will do wonders to keep fur from taking over. 9. Guests at our Creekside Cottage, we've set up a pup relief area (with a sign!) to save the lawn. Feel free to use it, or any other spot on the property except the front lawn. 10. To keep things fair and square, we're now requesting a refundable $150 pet deposit, due 14 days before your stay. It's all about trust. If we all play by the rules, your deposit stays put. Just know, after any major rule-bending (extra laundry, cleaning, or upholstery work), it's not gonna’ come back to you. Plus, intentional rule breakers might face extra fees. Let's keep things snazzy! Quick note: Our enchanting forest is home to all sorts of creatures, from bunnies to bobcats. Keeping pets leashed and kids close by is the savvy way to prevent unexpected run-ins.
