Perfectly Equipped Forest Retreat! Big Bertha's has all the ingredients of a beloved vacation home. It is comfortable, stylish, unique, well-appointed, and private yet conveniently located. Inside and out, Big Bertha's expertly combines convenience and comfort with playful cabin chic. Guests love the luxurious linens and special amenities at Big Bertha's! Amenities include a bocce ball court, hot tub, gas grill, well-stocked kitchen, charming dining room writing desk, reading spots, games and books, smart TVs, high-speed internet, gas fireplace, and kids game room. Big Bertha's is equally equipped to accommodate families, groups of friends, couples, lovers, food lovers, wine lovers, writers, philosophers, morning people, evening people, middle-of-the-day people and, well, pretty much anyone! Big Bertha's sits on a hillside and is two levels. From the driveway, two flights of stairs lead to the deck and front door. Just inside the front door is a quaint mudroom with hooks for coats, a spot for muddy shoes, and the washer/dryer. Upstairs - The recently remodeled kitchen features stainless steel appliances, attractive cabinetry, and opens the dining area. The bar counter transitions smoothly to the dining area, where the dining table comfortably seats 8. Don’t miss the coffee station! A sliding door leads to the deck with a gas BBQ, picnic table, and (seasonal) folding Adirondack chairs. An open doorway from the dining area leads to the living room with extra features like a chess table and writing desk. A short hallway, accessible from both the living room and the kitchen, leads to two bedrooms (one with a queen bed and one with two twins) and a full bathroom (shower over tub). Downstairs - A spiral staircase connects the upstairs living room and downstairs “suite.” Featuring a game room, with a double futon for additional sleeping space, smart TV with Netflix (no cable), a Foosball table, and a small master suite with a queen bed, and a small, yet full, bathroom with a shower. Sliding doors lead to a small lower deck with two (seasonal) Adirondack chairs - a great spot for a morning cuppa! Outdoors - The main outdoor living areas are on the same level as the upper story of the house. In addition to the deck with gas BBQ, outdoor gas fireplace, and al fresco dining, there is a side yard with a bocce ball court and a back patio with a hot tub and outdoor shower. Big Bertha's is named for the original owner, Bertha. She and her husband built the house in 1952. When walking though the hallway, notice the artwork, which are framed pieces of the original flooring found during the remodel. Know Before You Book: Maximum Occupancy and Quiet Hours: The maximum occupancy at Big Bertha's is 7 people not including kids under 3 years old. Quiet hours are from 9:00 pm until 7:00 am. Outdoor amplified sound is prohibited at all times. A Note About Our Cleaning Fees: Thank you for supporting our local business! When you stay with us, you support local families at work. We think everyone deserves a decent living wage, and we make sure to set the rates and fees so that our cleaners earn a living wage in beautiful Sonoma County. Parking: There is parking in the driveway for 3 vehicles. RVs, trailers, and campers are prohibited, per the Sonoma County Vacation Rental Ordinance. Bed Sizes: Bedroom One (upstairs): Queen Bed; Bedroom Two (upstairs): Two Twin Beds; Bedroom Three (downstairs): Queen Bed; Futon in downstairs living area. Heat Source: Central Heat and gas fireplace in the living room. Cooling: The upstairs bedrooms each have a ceiling fan, and the downstairs bedroom naturally stays cooler. As is common in our area, Big Bertha's does not have AC. Being near the coast and under the redwoods, nighttime temperatures drop and opening some windows is usually enough to cool the house. Kitchen: In addition to the usual appliances, Big Bertha’s kitchen includes a dishwasher, gas range, and lots of extras. Bathrooms: Upstairs bathroom: shower over tub; downstairs bathroom: shower only. Both are accessible from hallways. Location: Big Bertha's is in the Guerneville neighborhood of Guernewood Park - just west of downtown. It is a 5-minute walk to the Russian River and a 20-minute walk into town. There is a playground, tennis courts, neighborhood beach, and a restaurant all within a few minutes’ walk. It is a cozy residential neighborhood. It is a mix of permanent residents and vacation rentals, families, working folks, and visitors. To honor this balance, we ask guests to park only in the driveway and respect the quiet hours in addition to general family-friendly, residential neighborhood expectations. Thank you for helping to continue the tradition of a mutually beneficial relationship between vacation rentals and the local community! Stairs: There are 22 stairs from the parking area to the front door. Inside, there is a single-story spiral staircase between the living room and lower level. Pet Friendly: This home welcomes up to 2 well-mannered dogs. Due to insurance carrier guidelines the following dog breeds are restricted from being at this residence: Akita, Alaskan Malamute, American Staffordshire Terrier, American Pit Bull Terrier, Stafford Bull Terrier, American Bulldog, American Bully, any dog commonly known as a Pit Bull, Cane Corso, Chow Chow, Doberman Pinscher, German Shepherd, Great Dane, Mastiff, Presa Canario, Rottweiler, Siberian Husky, attack or guard dog, fighting dog or dog bred for fighting, dog with a history of injuring other dogs, mixed with one of more of the breeds listed above, mixed with a wild animal (including by not limited to wolves), known or expected to be harmful/dangerous/injurious to others, and any canine with a prior history of causing “bodily injury.” Fencing: The yard closest to the house is fenced – this includes the hot tub, BBQ, outdoor dining, Bocce Ball, and upper deck. The driveway, parking area, and lower deck are not. Work from HERE: Big Bertha’s has a secretary-style writing desk in the living room with chair, outlet, house phone, and excellent light – a great spot to set up a laptop. Advertised Wifi Speed: Xfinity Residential \*Boosted. TVs: The house is equipped with 2 smart TVs. While traditional cable TV is not provided on either television, guests can log into any of their personal streaming apps on the Smart TVs. On both TVs, the Samsung TV Plus app allows access to national and local news, as well as a variety of other TV programs. Each TV has a DVD/Blu-Ray player. Landline Phone: Local calls only. Downstairs Ceiling: The downstairs ceilings are 7'2", which is slightly lower than average. Baby/Kid-Specific Items: A pack-n-play and foldable highchair are provided. Outdoor Fireplace: The outdoor fireplace is converted with a gas insert, so you can enjoy a cozy spot under the redwoods and stars. Sonoma County prohibits wood-burning of all types outside at vacation rentals. Driving Distances: Proximity to wineries: Korbel Winery is 4.3 miles and an additional 5 minutes to Westside Road and dozens of renowned wineries. Nearest River Beach: A few minutes by car or 0.3 mi by foot to Guernewood Park Neighborhood Beach. Johnson's Beach is a 1-ish mile walk/drive, and all around fabulous place to enjoy the river, rent boats, inner tubes, beach umbrellas, and grab a beer and bite to eat - when they are open for the season. Otherwise, you can wander the beach, but the boats and concession stand will not be available. Dogs are not allowed at Johnson's Beach when they are open for the season. Nearest Ocean Beach: There are many ocean beaches along the Sonoma coast, but one of the closest is Goat Rock State Beach just south of Jenner - 12 miles from the house. One of the beaches at Goat Rock is dog friendly.

We enjoyed the backyard games and large fire place outside. Our group all felt that the wooden staircase leading up to the house was a bit neglected and the kitchen is not stocked like some of the other homes we've rented.

The property was very cute and comfortable and in such a beautiful place. The internet went out the second day we were there so we were unsure on trash procedures as we couldn’t read our email. The out door fire pit was nice for relaxation and roasting marshmallows. The kitchen had almost everything we needed and the outdoor grill was great. I made two tri-tips and they came out perfectly. ##### Kristin I. Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tracy B.

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue! The cabin was spotless, in a superb location for river and town access and super cute. A large movie, board game and book collection, bocce ball and tetherball kept us entertained in the evenings. The big outdoor wood fire place was perfect for s’mores after relaxing in the super clean hot tub. Great outdoor shower too! The cabin was thoughtfully well stocked with all the essentials and more. We didn’t need to use half the kitchen supplies or linens we brought. The floor plan is well laid out for singles, couples and kids. Great communication prior and during our trip. Information for everything was easily found and every detail had been thought of. Everyone had a fabulous time. We will definitely rent this one again! ##### Tracy B.

The only thing that we didn't get to do was go in the hot tub it was a bit chilly however when we come back we would love to stay when it's a little bit warmer outside.

The two upstairs bedrooms were perfect for Zoe and her parents. This house has great indoor and outdoor living areas. Plenty of room to spread out and to enjoy different times of day in the various settings. House is well equipped and has lots of helpful instructions posted. The negatives were few and all related to kitchen equipment. None of the knives are sharp and there is no sharpener. The can opener needs to be replaced. There was no medium sized saucepan. Fairly minor inconveniences, but I am listing them here because I doubt the owners are aware of these things and they can be easily remedied. We will definitely consider staying here again. ##### Mark S. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2017 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle T.

Jun 22, 2017 #### Lovely spot in the trees Big Bertha was the perfect spot for my almost two week vacation. The first half of my trip was with my two adult kids and a couple of friends of my daughter to celebrate her birthday and and have some family time. The place worked very well for this; plenty of space to spread out but also nice communal areas. After the family left; I hosted three of my lady friends for the next five days. Perfect again for the amount of people. We had a wonderful time using the hot tub, making food and of course lots of laughter and wine form the local wineries. My daughters small dog was my only companion for the whole trip and he loved the place, especially the squirrels in the trees and the sun lounging on the deck. ##### Amy S.

This is a nice house with lots of history. The driveway is steep, but easy to use and not a problem. It was a little hard to find, we drove by it twice, but once we found it, the rest was simple. The house was well equipped, clean and warm. It was a good location to explore the coast and small towns around the area. We had a wonderful time. ##### John M.

Jan 31, 2017 #### A Cozy Stay Far From The Madding Crowd We were looking for a place to hunker down and pass the New Year quietly and Big Bertha's very much fit the bill. The dogs were happy, the people were happy, the kitchen, dining and living areas were warm and comfortable and the hot tub hot! Any questions? Some observations, though. Don't choose Big Bertha's if you hate stairs. The stairway to the front entrance intimidated even our dogs and the member of our party with the bad foot had to take it very slow. And the interior stairway resembles more a fireman's pole than a real staircase...... Town is a scenic twenty minute walk away but beware of walking along the highway. Cars zoom around the two major curves you'll pass and it can be scary. But we're picking nits here. Everything else about this place rocked! ##### John R.
