About this property

Family and Pets Welcome! 2 BD 2 BA ~ Unique Northwest Vacation Rentals

Escape to our oasis! Our waterfront cottage boasts an eclectic, colorful interior and ample outdoor space. This getaway is the perfect one-of-a-kind home-base for that Pacific Northwest escape you've been looking for! Spend the day exploring destinations like the Columbia River, Mount St. Helens, Beaver Creek, and Tumwater Falls. Then, return to a fully equipped kitchen for a delicious home-cooked meal. Afterwards, enjoy the BBQ, firewood and picnic tables provided for your fireside feast.

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.

This accommodation includes the Creekside Cottage and Rusty's Room. Each has their own private entrance and private bathroom. We value your privacy, so interaction with other guests or hosts who may be on site is certainly welcome, but not required or expected during your stay.

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 mini-event center. 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.

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 reserve.
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 or reservation request, you’ll get an email with instructions for pickup or reservation and the door code if applicable.
Just a heads-up: VRBO'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. It's all about trust. If you 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!

What makes this property unique

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.
