The house is beautiful, spacious...as are the extensive grounds. Very comfortable, quiet, and relaxing for all 10 of us. The forested, hilly surround is truly magical. The large kitchen is well-equipped with excellent appliances, including two refrigerators. The weather was chilly, but the heating system kept us warm. Emily is a responsive and welcoming host.
This space is incredibly beautiful. Serene atmosphere, accommodating hosts, cozy bedding, fabulous kitchen, views from every room. Every inch of this property is magnificent. I will definitely be back.
Beautiful home nestled in the most relaxing location!
The property was fantastic, start to finish. Even though it rained every day we were there, it was still enjoyable! Incredibly peaceful location, stunning views, and a very well appointed home. The property owner is so kind, our trip was wonderful! We will definitely be back!
Beautiful property with tons of space gorgeous outdoor spaces as well as lots of inside room. Perfect for our girls wine weekend getaway. Great communication with the hostess
This was a perfect location and home for a relaxing getaway. The home was clean, spacious, and tucked away in a very quiet area. The gardens are absolutely beautiful. The property manager provided a wonderful list of near by restaurants, wineries, hikes and other recommended services. The property manager was easy to get a hold of and responsive. We look forward to staying here again in the near future!
This would be the perfect house for 5 couples as it has 5 king beds and 5 bathrooms. Everything about the house was clean and comfortable and the setting was beautiful.
This home and property are absolutely beautiful. We were a group of 10 women and felt that the house accommodated us all well. Every bedroom has a king sized bed and its own bathroom. The outdoor space was beautiful and peaceful. We enjoyed the hot tub, but it was a little too cold for the pool even though it was clean and ready to be used. I would definitely visit this location again.
I've stayed at this property before and have booked it again for next year. It's one of the nicest properties I've stayed in, including the grounds, the ambience, the quality of the house itself, the well appointed rooms and fully equipped kitchen. Perfect for the number of us that get together each year for this little gathering. Host is great to work with and very responsive.
Pictures doesn’t do justice on how beautiful the property and the grounds are. The rooms are large and comfortable. Plenty of seating everywhere. Views galore from every window! Thank you for having us! It was a week of memories in wonderful Sonoma county.
5 lovely bedrooms...a spacious, well-equipped kitchen...a large dining room...several reading/meeting rooms...a patio with a spectacular view...pool and hot tub surrounded by flowering plants...set in a wooded environment just a short drive from shopping and restaurants...this house really takes care of you. We were a party of 10, and this is an excellent house to both congregate and find privacy.
We celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary with three couples and had a wonderful time. The grounds were breathtaking, the house was well, equipped, and very clean. It was in close proximity to some of our favorite wineries, and yet was very private, and had plenty of room for each couple to have their own bedroom and bathroom.
Another wonderful Christmas family gathering at Emily’s. We gathered here two years ago and were fortunate enough to book again for this year. Enough bedrooms for all traveling family members to have a cozy place to stay and wonderful entertaining space for local family to visit for the day / evening. Space heaters on the deck made it cozy to watch the sunset and the view from the hot tub is amazing. We highly recommend the Pao house for large gatherings!
This property is perfect. Beautiful house, tons of space, amazing backyard with pool and hot tub, stunning views. What else could you ask for. We had a 40th bday here with some friends and family and it was the ideal setting. Also Emily was really accommodating and great with communication before and during our stay. Definitely coming back.
Beautifully designed, decorated, located and landscaped home. Very comfortable furnishings. Lots of options for gathering and dining indoors and out - and the views! Great opportunities for bird watching - the hummingbirds! The pool was inviting but we were out of season, so we were able to enjoy the hot tub. Sebastopol is a bustling town and there are some nice restaurants and good grocery shopping. We loved our wine tastings.
The house is set in a special location with spectacular views from every direction. All rooms were beautifully decorated. The beds with very comfortable with seating areas in every one with attached bathrooms. The kitchen was well equipped. The only recommendation would be to have more than one roll of paper towels.
This house and property absolutely blew us away! Every room was gorgeous and the house had everything we needed for a fun stay-in girls weekend. You are close enough to town that you can drive to get some supplies, but far enough away not to be bothered by anyone or anything! So many places to sit and lounge inside and outside, and we got lucky with the perfect weather. It was so healing being surrounded by trees and nature, this house is a must if you have a few friends or family and want to get away together. So grateful to stay in such a gorgeous house- would love to return when we get the chance!
This was a wine tasting get-a-way for our eight close friends and family. The accommodations and location was perfect for relaxing at the end of the day. Beautiful views and a well appointed home. It was like having 5 master bedrooms in one home.
We had a minor plumbing issue upon arrival but it was resolved quickly and Emily could not have been a more perfect host. Communication lines were always open. We would definitely stay here again.

Pao House was everything we needed to celebrate a 70th birthday grandly with family and friends. Having five bedrooms with king-size beds and double-sink bathrooms in each was a luxury none of us fully anticipated. The surrounding forest and landscaping of the property provided a lush environment for photos, leisurely walks, and quiet times. With wineries, restaurants, sightseeing, recreational activities, and shops within easy driving distance, no one had a chance to get bored. We were delighted with our stay and our host.
