60th birthday party!
We stayed for the weekend and had the most wonderful time.. The house was amazing. Everything was perfectly clean. We loved the outdoors and we danced inside and outside. There were so many things to do. And we also enjoyed some time at Bokisch winery across the street. It was perfect!

Beautiful property!
The property was huge and gorgeous. The pool was ice cold even when it was sunny in late September, but we did hot tub and then cold plunge. We loved the veggies (tons of tomatoes and herbs) and fruit trees (when we were there only calamansi was ripe). I particularly enjoyed the archery setup--never done it before and it was very satisfying. Indoor area was thoughtful and well appointed. One of the guests went for a run and saw some goats and a pony--the sunsets were also gorgeous. Great hosting location! The host must have been busy when we arrived. He said he would invite us in and show us a tour, but came 3-4 hours after we'd arrived and focused on getting a delivery of paper towels instead of greeting us. The tour was a verbal rundown of things while we were in the driveway rather than any walkthrough of the house. There was also a lot of confusion and apparently anxiety on the host's side about a separate contract he'd sent, indicated we didn't need to sign, and then freaked out that we hadn't yet signed. I assume it was just an off day for him, as he was otherwise very responsive over text.

Most memorable weekend!
We had our intimate wedding at RedSmith Ranch, with our families staying on the property. It was the most incredible weekend of our lives. The house and property continued to amaze us and our guests. All of the rooms were comfortable and beautiful, the property was breathtaking, and the house’s ability to host such a beautiful event was unmatched. Not to mention how wonderful Del was to work with throughout the whole process! You can tell how much pride and love they put into the house— it shows in every thoughtful detail. We will definitely be back!

RedSmith Ranch is a beautiful property with so much to do. From the pool, basketball hoop, to archery, you will never be bored. We hosted our wedding on property, and there was plenty of space for rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception dinner and dancing. There were also endless places to take photos. The Ranch exceeded our expectations and I truly could not have imagined a better place to host our family and friends for our wedding.

Another memorable family vacation in Lodi
Another wonderful family vacation spent at this location. The home, grounds and pools are beautiful. So many activities to do: archery, basketball, ping-pong, bocce ball (a family favorite). We are a large family and nice, clean, large vacation homes with great amenities are hard to find! But what really brings it all together is the host, Del. He is so accommodating, he installed handrails in the master bedroom for my parents for this return trip. My dad will be turning 100 and my mom is 92. They are is great shape in mind and body but they both use a cane or walker from time to time especially at night time. So the handrails were a blessing and gave the rest of the family peace of mind when mom and dad or grandpa & grandma went to bed at night. He stopped by to make sure all was good and left a coupon for a pie shop in town, which the kids later went and got three homemade pies!! Thank you so very much, Del The Castellucci's

Beautiful jewel in Lodi wine country
This ranch house and gardens are stunning! We arrived to ring the bell at the entryway with a party of nineteen for our parents’ 50th anniversary. Everything is setup so thoughtfully and welcomingly, with many pleasant areas to sit and chat. The garden has tons of shade trees and umbrellas for the hot summer afternoons around the pool or spa. There’s a great sound system outside for ambiance. There’s archery, bocce, ping pong, volleyball, and tons of activities for everyone to play together, from kids to adults. Our local host, Del, met us personally for a tour and was always charming, hospitable, and responsive to the questions and requests we had for our party. We cannot recommend Del and RedSmith Ranch too highly! We hope to be back.

Family Fun
Perfect week for our family of 17 ages from 87 to 18. Large enough to accommodate everyone comfortably. So many spots to escape to for quiet times. The variety of activities kept everyone occupied. Grocery shopping was convenient and youngsters enjoyed Lodi. The Biglieri Farm and Young Payless were particularly of note. We are an Italian family of great cooks. We prepared all of our meals on site. The kitchen was well stocked and enjoyed by all. The family rated this one of the favorite rentals we have experienced.

The property is beautiful. The gardens, the views, the pool/hot tub, games and activities available along with several cozy sitting areas to relax and enjoy visiting with our family, were wonderful and memorable experiences for everyone. The host Del, provided us on our arrival a detailed overview of the property and home. The home has a very grand layout and was well stocked with all of the kitchen utensils, tools and dish ware you would need to prepare meals. Additionally, you are surrounded by restaurants, grocery stores and a multitude of activities in Lodi. The property is perfect for large family gatherings.

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!

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!

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.

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.
