Everything is Green
| At Creekside Inn & Resort employing ecologically-friendly sustainable practices has been our goal for more than twenty-years. We are not recent to stewardship of the beautiful environment that surrounds us in California’s Russian River Valley, for us it is a way of life. When we first came to buy the Inn surrounded by towering redwoods on the banks of Pocket Canyon Creek and within sight and sound of the Russian River we were instantly committed to leaving as little of a footprint on the native beauty of the land as possible. Every year we look at how we can preserve and protect our natural resources. Woven into everything we do from solar energy to natural cleaning products to water conservation to native plants in the landscaping, we are making sure that the treasures of the Russian River Valley are available for generations to come. Our respect for our natural surroundings has evolved over the years to a passion that is reflected in the cars we drive, the charities we give time and effort into and to every area of the resort’s operations. Throughout the resort we use non-toxic cleaning and gardening products, renewable energy, reusable and recyclable guest amenities and practice water conservation. All accommodations are equipped with water-saving bath fixtures and electricity-saving light fixtures. Biodegradable laundry detergents minimize environmental impacts and the resort is delighted to work with resource-conscious guests who opt to forego daily linen changes in their rooms. | In our new Nature’s Cottages, the manufactured cottages were planned using the concepts of sustainable architecture including considerations of size, solar energy, the use of energy efficient lighting and appliances where possible and water conservation. From the design of the cottages to the building material and setting we researched the project to ensure that it met our sustainability standards throughout construction and in the future. We choose factory-built cottages because they are built efficiently and create less waste during the building process. Building materials used for the new manufactured cottages include cement board, a mixture of 10% virgin wood fibers and 90% cement, that According to the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences is longer lasting and has less impact on the environment because it does not warp or shrink, is fire resistant, doesn't require maintenance after initial staining and does not release the VOC emissions of traditional siding. We worked for more than a year with Circuit Rider Productions Ecological Services Division, CRP, to protect the creek, remove harmful non-native plant vegetation and encourage the healthy growth of native plants in the area where the new cottages were constructed. For the health of all its guests, Creekside Inn and Resort is an entirely non-smoking resort.
