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.

Beautiful retreat away
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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Emily Rose Thiessen

Host profile image
My college degree is in fine arts and I love beauty, design and decorating. Providing our guests a wonderful experience is what I strive for and enjoy most. We wish everyone a relaxing and unforgettable stay at Pao House.

Why they chose this property

In 1986 my husband and I discovered the beautiful land we live on now, and we were fortunate to buy it. The property needed lots of work and loving care and became one of the most rewarding projects we could ever have imagined. My roots go back many generations in the Green Valley, which makes this property all the more special to us.

Pao House is the second home we have managed here as a vacation rental over the years and both homes were designed and built by my husband Orrin. The Pao House and our home are on the same rural lane.

What makes this property unique

Pao House is on a 26 acre property in the heart of spectacular west Sonoma County in coastal hills close to all kinds of fun things to do, places to go, and diverse and beautiful countryside.
The house easily sleeps 10, has 4 separate master suites and plenty of extra room. It is ideal for couples or families who want luxury, space and privacy with bedrooms that have king size beds, sitting areas, fabulous views and full private bathrooms. Just about everything is new.
There is also a separate gym, a built in swimming pool and a big hot tub spa on the deck overlooking a view of the beautiful forested valley.
