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.

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 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. It's all about trust. If we all play by the rules, your deposit is returned to you. Just know, after any major rule-bending (extra laundry, cleaning, or upholstery work), up to $150 is not gonna’ come back to you. Plus, intentional rule breakers might face extra fees. Let's keep things snazzy!
