Wonderful stay!
This has to be one of the best homes we have ever rented! The house itself is so spacious, so many seating areas. Outside areas are fantastic, we enjoyed playing all the games and using the hot tub. Del was extremely welcoming and everything was explained well. We will be back!

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!

Girl's weekend
This was our first time staying in the Central Valley after staying at the coast for multiple years. We loved the warm weather and spent most of our time in the pool. We had a amazing time, and can't wait to spend time again there next year.

About the host

Hosted by Del Smith

Host profile image
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)
