Other things to note
My Tiny Creekside Retreat in Longview WA is a rural accommodation and mini-event center and is located in the hills above Longview. The Creekside Cottage is 1 of 6 listings for the home. This listing has no interior shared spaces and shares a robust sound dampening wall with an adjacent unit which was recently added to maximize privacy for both parties.

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 or explore during your visit, a list of our favorite restaurants and destinations is included in our Helpful Household Handbook; a guidebook you will find in the unit and on our website.

Add-On Amenities & The Camper’s Closet:
Looking to level up your stay? We’ve got a few optional add-ons available to make your retreat experience even better!
? The Camper’s Closet is our cozy little on-site camp store—fully self-serve and available 24/7 through a QR code on the Closet door or via our weblink. You’ll find essentials and fun extras like:
S’mores kits ??
Fire starter kits ??
Trader Joe’s snacks ??
Grocery or flower delivery services ??
…and more!
?? Laundry Room Access ($10 Add-On): Want to use our onsite laundry facilities during your stay? You can reserve it for 6 hours of exclusive use through the Camper’s Closet as well.
????? Barrel Sauna ($20 Add-On): Whether you're chasing post-hike relaxation or just a cozy moment of zen, this warm little haven is now available to book for private 2 hour sessions!
?? How it works: These optional add-on services (or any other store purchases) require a separate purchase. You'll receive more detailed information before your arrival. Once you place your order, you’ll get an email with instructions for pickup or reservation and the door code.
Just a heads-up: Airbnb's new fee transparency policy means we’re including these add-on details here to keep things crystal clear. Specifically, the washer, dryer, and sauna are listed as available amenities for this listing but they are not included in your nightly rate.

3rd Party Booking Policy:
My Tiny Creekside Retreat is a great option for crews, professionals traveling for work, and is a way safer, more secure, and affordable option than local hotels.
Hosting guests, however, who have not made the reservation itself carries additional risk and hosting challenges. As such, in our desire to support our local employers we have recently developed and released this 3rd Party Booking Policy.
1) Booking must be confirmed at least 2 hours in advance of arrival.
2) Payment of an additional $150 refundable cleaning deposit via an Airbnb resolution center request will be required prior to arrival.
3) A contact name and verifiable cell phone # must be provided for at least 1 of the guests who are staying. Contact will be made with them prior to their arrival to verify their ID and ensure they are aware of the expectations during their stay.

Thank you for the opportunity to support the hard-working traveling professionals that help our cities and towns grow and thrive.

Pet and Animal Policy:
Recently we have updated this listing and no longer allow pets in this accommodation. If you would like to bring yours, please inquire about our many other accommodations on site which do allow animals.
In the best interest of transparency, our pet policy is only noted here so all guests on site understand the expectations of visiting animals and their owners; including service animals:
1. Pets must stay leashed outside at all times.
2. No pets on furniture, beds, or lofts.
3. Pets cannot be left alone inside, even in crates.
4. Clean up accidents with supplies under the sink, waste w/ bags provided, and sweep the house daily to manage fur.
5. At Creekside Cottage, use the signed pup relief area instead of the front lawn.
6. Expect friendly barn cats and free-range bunnies outdoors—if your pet chases or reacts strongly, this may not be the best fit.
7. Disruptive pets (excessive barking, digging, etc.) may be asked to leave without refund.
8. A $150 refundable deposit is required. Extra cleaning or rule violations may reduce your refund and additional fees may apply.
Make yourself comfortable in this cottage, which features a fireplace. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Conveniences include a phone, as well as a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Enjoy the recreation opportunities such as a sauna or make use of other amenities including barbecue grills.
Breakfast is available for a fee.
Guests will find features like internet access, onsite parking, and a car charging station.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The cottage was very clean but there were a few missing amenities. There was no TV, no hand towels in the bathroom (although there were body towels). The "Pet Relief Area" was right outside my kitchen table so it was not something I want to watch a dog do when I'm eating my meals. The kitchen was missing tin foil and zip lock bags but was fully stocked with everything else you need to cook.

Beautiful setting

We needed a place to relax and kick back. We found it here and couldn't have asked for more. The cottage was everything it said it would be. Relaxing by the creek or on the front porch was peaceful. Hope to come again.

Excellent accommodations and beautiful setting.

This is a very special place. Wooden platforms to sit and enjoy the calming stream that flows along the property. Has a variety of accommodations from small, cozy A-frames to a large, impressively decorated cottage. We and our two miniature schnauzers thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend!

Great alternative to the local hotels!

The freezer needs to be cleaned as it was a little gross. Please ad to your listing that there is no tv. Wasn’t a big deal or issue for us but I can see it being one for others. This place was the relaxing retreat we needed away from family and our busy life in Seattle. As a Longview native, I enjoy coming back home to visit family and still takes breaks when needed. Thanks to rentals like this one; I was able to do just that. Thank you so much!!
