Graduation Get Together

Had a great time at Red Smith Ranch! Stayed there for UOP graduation with a group of 14 family members. Plenty of room for everyone in common areas. Bedrooms were comfortable & entire house was nicely decorated. Plenty of kitchen area for gathering when cooking breakfast (lots of essentials provided for cooking) & plenty of eating area too. Grounds were beautiful & well maintained. Lots to do while outside. Swimming, hot tub, fire pit area to make s’mores & herb garden to use. Played bocci ball, a little archery & ping pong. There was so much outdoor space to just walk around & enjoy as a group or for alone time & soothing sounds of water fountains to make sitting outside relaxing. Farmland views were amazing! Had a catered meal on sight by a Chef recommended by Del & the meal was delicious. Lots of table room & gorgeous weather to enjoy our after graduation meal. Location is convenient to downtown Lockeford & Lodi & getting Stockton did not take long. So much to see & do while staying at Red Smith Ranch that we wish we could have stayed longer! Del was very accommodating with flexibility of checking in/checking out. Definitely recommend Red Smith Ranch for your next big family gathering. You’ll have a fantastic time resting & having fun!

Family Gathering

The country villa was so beautiful. The landscape was amazing with a vegetable and rose garden. Del and Jennifer thought of everything imaginable for a delightful stay. It was festive in fall colors with assorted pumpkin decor throughout the entire property. The amenities were unique and thoughtful. They were very helpful with a listing of local food vendors and caters for a smooth, carefree family gathering. Until next time Del. Thank you!

Magical Place for a Family Weekend (and a Wedding)

We recently held an intimate wedding here and when we arrived at the property, our immediate thought was “this is EVEN BETTER than the photos online.” Del was so helpful during booking & planning, and when we arrived, Del’s partner Marne became our contact throughout our stay and was quick to respond and help us with anything that we needed. As our stay was at the end of October, we missed a lot of the flowers on the property, but that didn’t detract from the beauty of the grounds. Unfortunately, it was a little too cold to use the pool, but the hot tub was a highlight. Also, the house comes with so many fun outdoor games and activities! The house was a homey space that felt lived in and we felt so comfortable just being there and using it as a home is meant to be used. It was clear that comfort and fun were priorities in designing and decorating the house. The kitchen was very well appointed, and there was plenty of seating for our large family. The bedrooms were clean, comfortable, and roomy. And despite the number of people staying in the house, they were quiet – guests could sleep even if people were still enjoying themselves. We would 100% recommend Red Smith Ranch to anyone looking to host a family gathering, wedding, or event. We couldn’t be happier to have made some really important memories there. Thank you Del & Marne for making our wedding and stay so magical!

Fabulous Property

We thirteen go on a biennial family vacation and this was the best yet. We stayed a week, and didn't come close to exhausting its spaces and amenities. Great pool and spa, fresh produce from the garden, pickle ball, corn hole, croquet, archery--wow. Deluxe kitchen, fully appointed, and big tables for family meals. A few glitches that Del took care of right away. Shade trees, pool, and air conditioning mitigated oppressive heat. Several excursions possible, but apart from wine tasting, we were happy to stay at home.

Amazing!

Del is a gracious host who was very communicative and always there to help. We had a few hiccups with the internet and fridge and he was prompt to problem solve and get things in working order. The property is just gorgeous with lots of citrus trees and a fig tree and a vegetable garden we utilized during our stay. We made fresh salsa and it was so delicious! Outdoor cinema and pool were the best. House stayed nice and cool during a hot spell. Winery down the street you can walk to. Patio boat rental with waterslide at nearby Camanche Lake. We.ll be back next year for sure!!

Everyone wanted to stay longer

This is my 2nd stay at the Ranch. Del is such a gracious host and takes the extra time to personally dial the house in for a perfect stay; he was flexible and accommodating to all my requests. My friends and family gathered to celebrate a birthday and father’s day, they enjoyed every nook and activity available at the house. The beds are super comfortable and kitchen had everything we needed from a big pot to boil lobster to a built in griddle for pancakes. But the expansive yard was where we spent most of our time…the fully fenced in yard was great for our pups, the pool was perfect temp and the hot tub was clean and freshly filled. Thank you AGAIN, for a great experience. Can’t wait to stay in your other property in October!

Vineyard Vistas from Every Vantage

My brother, sister, and myself (ages 72-80) brought our children and our grandchildren for an annual getaway of sun, fun, and food. There was something for everyone at this expansive house set in the vineyards of Lodi. We didn't leave the whole long weekend, but were never bored. Two nights at the poker table were full of laughs for the old folks. Rousing games of CornHole for all ages. Amazing kitchen supplies and space for the cooks. Two dishwashers were a huge help. Losers in the timed scavenger hunt (for finding the multiple ceramic and metal birds and animals) had to do the dishes that night. Fun for all. Highly recommend this house with the A+++ host.

Stayed the weekend with 12 women for a 40th birthday and had a fantastic time! Clean, easy, comfortable. Went out wine tasting, brought in a chef for a dinner, made fancy cocktails at the beautiful bar, and relaxed in the hot tub. We caught very cold weather and STILL the house feels like a resort and we didn't want to leave.

Beautiful home and property. Del is a fantastic host!

We are a large family of 17, so it is hard to find a home large enough for our family summer vacations. This home was perfect for my older parents because the master bedroom was on the first level. Plenty of rooms for all of us and our children and their spouses. The house is gorgeous, lots of space. Large kitchen w/ two dishwashers, bar area, family room, dinning room. Plenty of bathrooms. And then there the pool area, hot tub, bocce ball, ping pong, archery, basketball., vegetable and beautifully lite rose garden. The fire pit for roasting marshmallows and and star gazing. We even put up the projector for the kids to watch a movie by the pool under the stars. The property owner Del is fantastic, we had a plumbing problem in the kitchen under the sink. I texted Del and he got in touch with his handy man and got it fixed. Our family agrees that this has to be our best VRBO rental ever. Thank you Del for a fantastic and memorable vacation! We will be back next year!

Beautiful property

Our annual family vacation was made even better because we chose this home surrounded by vineyards. The property was beautiful inside and out. It was immaculate and had every amenity we could think of and even some we hadn't had available in other rental homes. The check in process was made special with Del greeting us and showing us around the house and the grounds. He showed us the rose garden and the vegetable garden. He told us we were welcome to use whatever vegetables we wanted and we definitely did that. What a treat the home grown veggies made in our pasta dish one night. Communication with Del was so easy and he was extremely quick in his responses. He would text us several times over the course of our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. There was plenty of room for all of us, ranging in age from 70 to 2 months. There were also spots to get away to for a couple of minutes of quiet. The pool area was great with plenty of seating for those who weren't in the pool. Our kids love the swing. I could go on and on but bottom line is don't hesitate to rent this property.

About the host

Hosted by Del Smith

Del Smith and Jennifer Redmond partnered up to acquire the Ranch. Del is a Building Contractor. He grew up in Lodi and, in 1983, founded, developed and operated Wine and Rose Hotel and Restaurant (in Lodi) for 20 years. Del later moved on to build restaurants and commercial stores in the SF bay area. Del has never lost his passion for hospitality and taking care of guests. Jennifer is an attorney, partner with Sheppard Mullen law firm. She has a passion for interior design and throughout the years she has completely restored and refurbished several amazing San Francisco homes. Together we make a great team.

Why they chose this property

We love living in San Francisco, and like to get out of the city to hike, bike and explore. We thought it would be fun to combine our talents and find a place in the countryside that we could fix-up and enjoy with our family and friends. And find some sunshine! We wanted a home with character, where we could create a wonderful and warm experience to share with our guests. We looked north to Sonoma, South to Carmel, and then visited the Sierra foothills near the Mokelumne River, where we realized the Lodi Wine Region had everything we were looking for. And it just happens to be Del’s hometown! After searching for months, we came upon the Ranch. It is isolated in the middle of hundreds of acres of vineyards. The home has great character, wonderful light, spacious rooms, established trees and gardens, and is perfect for what we wanted to create. There is even a great winery across the road, Bokisch Winery. We closed escrow in late June 2019 and spent the rest of 2019 updating, modernizing, and refurbishing the interior. While Del was working on the physical elements of the house, Jennifer was busy with interior design and purchasing high-end furnishings on Craigslist and thrift stores, which is another chapter of interesting stories. The interior is now complete. The décor is modern rustic. It’s also a “Smart House,” with lighting control, air control, music, door locks, site security, sprinklers, etc.

What makes this property unique

Our improvements to this property will never be complete, ha, ha! We continue to bring new ideas and add improvements. When you visit, you will see the potential is unlimited! We’d love to hear your suggestions and ideas for further improvements.

We have a number of experiences to offer our guests, which may include early morning vineyard/orchard tour with an old- farmer, paint classes, gardening classes, farm to table cooking classes, yoga and mindfulness, Indian camp and bug science for kids, photo Safari, crafts for kids, base camp for Sierra foothill adventures (kayaking, hiking and cycling), tours of 80 plus nearby wineries, etc.

We have worked hard to make RedSmith Ranch both beautiful and comfortable and hope you enjoy it as much as we do. The large gathering spaces and flexible sleeping arrangements make it perfect for:
• Weddings, Rehearsal Dinners, Birthday Parties
• Couples weekend
• Wine tasting tours (80 plus local wineries)
• Small family reunions
• Girls’ getaways
• Team building retreats
• Farm to kitchen cooking
• Birthday celebrations
• A luxury base camp for cycling, hiking, and kayaking
• Touring nearby historic mining towns of the Sierras
• Any time you want to get away with friends, family, or colleagues in an amazing setting.

Come experience and enjoy the relaxing surroundings and rural lifestyle of RedSmith Ranch.
