Fun Family Getaway ~ BBQ, Sauna, and Firepit | Cottage in Longview

Bring the whole crew for a fun and relaxing getaway! When guests aren’t unwinding by the creek, they’re sipping hot drinks on the spacious covered deck, spotting birds by the pond, or stretching out with yoga on the creekfront decks. Families love gathering in the open living and dining areas, grilling dinner on the BBQ, and reconnecting in this stylish and unique remodeled home. With cozy slippers, fuzzy blankets, and unique books, everything you need to create unforgettable memories is here.

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 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.

My Tiny Creekside Cottage, the Arbor Suite, and Rusty`s Room are private accommodations with multiple entrances and bathroom access points. We’re here if you need us—and invisible if you don’t. Our small team works hard behind the scenes to keep the property safe, clean, and beautiful. You may see us (or our sweet maintenance guy) around from time to time, especially during checkouts, yard work, or if a guest requests assistance. We also live on-site part-time in a private area and commute weekly to Oregon. Our friendly bunnies and barn cats may greet you too—they think they own the place. Your privacy is always respected.
Human neighbors are friendly, but enjoy the privacy that country life ensures. The numerous on site and animal neighbors are furry, or feathered, and some are approachable; but most are pretty shy. (rabbits, barn cats, deer, frogs, birds, raccoon, bobcats, quail, squirrels, skunks, etc...)

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.
Pet and Animal Policy:
For a harmonious coexistence in our cozy space, we kindly ask you to consider these simple guidelines to make the most of your animal-friendly stay:
1. To ensure everyone`s safety, all animals must remain leashed when outside. No exceptions.
2. We have a no-animals-on-the-furniture policy. That includes beds and lofts too!
3. Our limit is 1 pet 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 no leaving furry friends solo in the home; even in a crate.
7. Oopsie moments happen! If they do, there are handy cleaning supplies under the sink.
8. A daily sweep of the house will do wonders, and is required, to keep fur from taking over.
9. Guests at our Creekside Cottage, we`ve set up a pup relief area on the side of the house (with a sign!) to save the lawn. Feel free to use it, or any other spot on the property except the front lawn.
10. During your stay may encounter our friendly young barn cats and our very tame, large, free-range bunnies outside. If your pup Is prone to chasing bunnies or are particularly reactive to cats, or any unexpected outdoor critters, this is likely not a good fit for your needs.
11. Disruptive pups (uncontrollable barking, digging, etc…) will be asked to leave and will not be eligible for a refund.
12. To keep things fair and square, we now require an add on to your reservation; a fully refundable $150 security deposit, due 14 days before your stay, and processed via AirBnB Resolution Center. It`s all about trust. If we all play by the rules, your deposit is returned to you. However, after any rule-bending (including extra laundry, cleaning, or upholstery work), know that it`s not gonna’ come back to you. Plus, intentional rule breakers might face extra fees. Let`s keep things snazzy!
