Friends Getaway Weekend
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.

Wine Heaven
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. Steve B

Secluded Luxury - It’s the Truth!
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!

A Fabulous 60th Anniversary Extravaganza
Nine of us spent a week in this gorgeous home to celebrate our parents' 60th wedding anniversary. It is situated in the middle of what feels like a nature preserve, but is actually just up a paved driveway from the road. It was truly the perfect location. The two ground floor bedrooms were accessible but still felt private and peaceful. Each of the bedrooms is a master suite. We made all our dinners in the kitchen that seemlessly accommodates a group that likes to cook together. The outdoor area was comfortable for lounging and viewing the night sky. We loved the pool, the hot tub deck, and the garden. The location is fantastic with multiple sources of fine groceries, wine, and lots of other resources within 15 minutes. We ventured out to enjoy the Sonoma Coast, Glen Ellen, Healdsburg, and a couple golf courses. All that was wonderful, but it is also a property that is ideal for wiling away the day in the perfect indoor/outdoor living environment. None of us wanted to leave when our week ended!

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!

My All Time Favorite VRBO
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.

Unique property!
The setting is tranquil and made us feel like we were the only humans for miles around - we were! The home accommodated 5 couples exquisitely. One suggestion Emily will correct is not having top sheets for the beds and hopefully the wine fridge will be repaired for guest use. Highly recommend for large groups - fellas enjoyed area's golf and gals doing local shopping, too. Thank you Emily for opening your home!

A Perfect Birthday Celebration
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.

40th wedding anniversary
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.

Great place for large family/friends holiday gathering
Really great house in a very secluded and lovely location, this spot was perfect for our group of family and friends to celebrate a late Christmas together. The house is very private, situated on a densely forested ridge with no other houses within viewing or hearing distance. The grounds and garden are spectacular. The hot tub and pool were perfect additions to our stay for combined soaking and winter cold plunges! I would give five stars, but there were a few things that could be improved -- namely, the housekeeping team should make sure all of the lightbulbs are working! We all had a number of fixtures that weren't operating in our rooms; a couple of us had to use the bathroom in the dark, and the dining room is lovely but the bulb installed over the table had a very high Kelvin rating (cold/blue temperature) so it should be replaced by something warmer. There were a couple of other very minor issues mainly having to do with things you only notice at close range; I was encouraged to bring these things up by other members in my party only because, at this price, you sort of expect perfection! But, we all agreed we would still consider staying here again -- all in all, a great experience with a few very minor inconveniences.

Family Holiday Gathering Place
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!

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.
