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!

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!!
