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

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.

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. Our entire family had a wonderful time, thank you Del for sharing this gorgeous home.

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!
