RedSmith Ranch

Luxury Vineyard Retreat - Sleeps 18
Plan your escape to our California wine country retreat, located on a hilltop in the midst of rolling vineyards, where the California wine country meets the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains. An easy drive, just two hours from San Francisco, will immerse you in a whole new world away from it all. More than luxurious lodging, the property includes a swimming pool, hot tub, bocce ball court, rose gardens, croquet lawns, fire pit, outdoor games and movies, and much more!
The Home
The Retreat at RedSmith Ranch is a stunning 7,500 sq. ft. Spanish Colonial style home recently restored for modern style and comfort with 8 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. The home features authentic handmade clay floor tiles, hand-troweled interior plaster walls, wood-beamed ceilings throughout, large stone fireplaces, hand-hewn 2-1/2” thick oak doors, among many other unique features. The décor is modern rustic, with original mid-century art and furnishings.
The home’s spacious common areas open to the outdoors with large windows and oak framed glass doors providing gorgeous views of the pool, vineyards, gardens, patios, and fountains. This home was designed for entertaining, with vaulted ceilings in the 16’ x 33’ living room and 19’ x 28 ‘ family room both of which adjoin separate wood-paneled bar rooms. The home features a fully-stocked gourmet chef's kitchen, a large dining room with a hardwood table that seats 12, and kitchen seating for 8.
The stunning primary suite with en suite bathroom, kids’ bedroom, two private bedrooms with patios, a full bath, and half bath are located on the first floor. The second floor features four queen bedrooms perfectly situated to enjoy sunset views, plus two full bathrooms and a coffee station. The home comfortably sleeps 18. This “Smart Home” offers high-speed internet everywhere on-site, a sound system with three zones; inside, front and back yards with a total of 28 speakers to stream your favorite music, and a large flat screen TV with sectional seating for lounging. Board and other family games are available with several game table options throughout the home. All linens and bath towels are provided. We do ask you to bring your own pool towels so we can keep our bath towels inside only. You will also be provided all bath soaps, shampoo and conditioners, lotion, and hair dryers in every bathroom. The kitchen comes stocked with all cooking and serving ware, starter coffee and filters, basic spices and pantry space for your own groceries.
The Property
The retreat is situated in the middle of hundreds of vineyard acres, with four private acres of mature trees and landscaping, lawns, gardens, and patios with fountains. You will see birds and butterflies galore! The swimming pool is a great place to refresh during the warm summer and fall months and the eight person hot tub is heated year round. There are eight separate patio areas, each with its own view, character and seating arrangements. The concrete topped dining table seats 18 and both a gas BBQ and wood chip Traeger grill are available for outdoor cooking. A spectacular private experience! Additional amenities include large areas for lawn games and vibrant rose-lined paths to meander down; an outdoor covered game area with ping pong, darts, and card table. Archery skills can be honed in the paddock and the basketball hoop is always waiting, or play bocce ball on the lighted full size court. All game and sports equipment is available and included with your stay. Harvest from the vegetable and herb gardens in the spring, summer, and fall. Kids will love putting down their phones and running around this property - playing games, climbing trees, hunting for bugs, swinging on ropes, sleeping outside under the stars. At night the skies are clear, and stars are bright. Throw a log in the outdoor fireplace or fire pit and catch up with old friends and family.
