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 book for private 2 hour sessions. ?? 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, you’ll get an email with instructions for pickup or reservation and your door code. 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. 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. 8. A $150 refundable deposit (via Airbnb Resolution Center, due 14 days before arrival) is required. Extra cleaning or rule violations may reduce your refund and additional fees may apply.
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.
