The Arbor Suite is a private suite, with it`s own private entrance and private bathroom within a larger home. This is NOT a shared space but does share a recently upgraded sound-proof wall with the main cottage.

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 animal neighbors are furry, or feathered, and some are approachable; but most are pretty shy. (domestic rabbits, barn cats, deer, frogs, birds, raccoon, bobcats, quail, squirrels, skunks, etc...)

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.
If you are booking on behalf of someone else, please review and accept this policy by replying specifically with the phrase “Responsible Guests Welcome”:
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.
Guests must review and reply to our Welcome Message incl intake questions ~ No SMOKING indoors or out ~ Guest’s visitors must be approved prior to their arrival ~ Government ID SELFIES may be required for guests ~ 3rd Party Bookings must review and accept 3rd Party policy
