The retreat worked out beautifully for our family to spend Christmas together. It was so thoughtful they had some decorations up. The sauna and sun room were a big hits and we were able to spread out and gather as we wished. We did all our own cooking and they had everything we needed. Any unexpected question was immediately addressed. We would definitely consider coming back!
We stayed with family and we all had a wonderful time!

We have stayed multiple times with 3 generations of our family and this place is ideal set up for this. It has places for adults to relax, kids to play and places for everyone to all come together. The host is the best in the business.

This place was truly amazing! I know people say the photos don’t do it justice, but really it is true. Once we arrived, we were greeted with such a refreshing and upbeat Marne! She made us feel better than being at home, with a tour of the place and glass of wine. We had four generations of family and we all had something fun or relaxing to do. We just loved loved loved it. Thanks Del and Marne!
We celebrated a birthday with friends and family at Stone River Retreat and enjoyed every minute. Del was super friendly and helpful with everything. The property is gorgeous and one can tell that he put lots of thought and love into shaping the space. It's definitely not a generic vacation home. We especially loved the archery area, the sauna and kayaking on the river.

We average two vacation rentals per year. Del is a top notch host and excellent communicator. Best ever!He wants his guest to enjoy the property and it shows everywhere. So many things done right, and we cant think of a single thing the host could have done better.Best stocked property we've every stayed at. Short on nothing. My family all agree he built the best pool possible for a family. The large sauna overlooking the river was a great unexpected treat. I loved the outdoor shower. The privacy of this home is fantastic. Sound system perfect. We are looking forward to coming back next year and staying even longer. Thank you Del!
Loved the home and all of the amenities and activities on the property. Del was a great host and you could tell really wanted us to enjoy the property. The only thing to take note of is the outdoor cats on the property for those who are allergic or don’t like them.

Large home with plenty of room for the eight of us to spread out and still have quiet, private spots. Terrific pool - one of the best we've ever had at a rental. The pictures and description are accurate. The location by the river is what makes this property stand out. We would come back.

Our family had a fabulous time at this wonderful home. The house was beautiful with many pieces of unique art pieces to enhance the decor of the house. The home was well stocked with anything you would need at a vacation home such as blankets, pillows, soaps, shampoo, kitchen spices, pots, pans etc. There was so much to do at the home besides swimming in the pool or using the jacuzzi. We are able to pick and enjoy fresh tomatoes and berries, enjoy time in the sauna, fish and/or boat in the river, shoot bows and arrows near the front side of the house, enjoy nature walks, rock painting and more. To top it off Del the host is a gem. He is so kind and friendly and truly made us feel as if we were his guests.
We all had a wonderful time! The pool and hot tub were big hits with everyone, especially the kids. The house was beautiful and we had plenty of space for everyone in the family (including grandparents). Some of us used the kayaks in the river, fished, did archery, played ping pong, or just read by the pool. There is something here for everyone. Thank you Del for an amazing stay!

Pictures don’t do the property justice ;-). Everything about the property was amazing, from the location, to the amenities even the hospitable nature of the host, Del. My friends and family all had an amazing time, so much so, that we are planning to rent at least once a year. We can’t wait to come back. Thank you, Del for allowing us to rent your home and for being so accommodating and welcoming.

We used the space for our executive team retreat, and it was perfect. One of the best available properties in the region. Beds and linens were great. Kitchen well stocked with necessary items for a large group. Then there's the river. . . Wow! So great to sit riverside and strategize with our team. 5 stars

This was honestly the best vacation rental I have ever stayed at. Del was such a kind and generous host. He met us there to take a tour of the property and give us great information about our stay.
The pool was amazing and the view of the river was so beautiful. The space is huge and we felt like we had plenty of room to spread out.
Thanks for an amazing weekend making memories! We would love to come back again. Run, don't walk, to book this property!

This was the second property we rented from Del, and he is just such a warm, gracious and generous host. He met us upon (early) arrival to walk us through the property and when we couldn’t hook up to the Sonos system, he returned back to help us troubleshoot. The property, while still a work in progress for him, is pretty amazing where it is. The pool and hot tub is set slightly above the river so there’s a true sense of privacy. The house was lovely and super clean throughout with so many spaces for our group to hangout. We’re already planning our next stay, both for the property and for its host!

Del made our experience an unforgettable one. He certainly went the extra mile in making us feel very welcome in their property. Their property was amazing. Everything was great and the Sonos sound system was a treat.
Part of me wants to give them a 0 star so I can selfishly keep this listing to ourselves. But I couldn’t do that to Del. He’s earned a 10 star rating from us. Thank you Del!

We enjoyed our stay so very much !! It was our first family reunion and your home was perfect ....
Our first family reunion and we couldn't imagine a more perfect place . There was a surprise around every corner !! We couldn't do all the activities so will have to give it another year !! The topping on the weekend was watching a male and female Black Phoebe bring food to their babies , the nest being in eaves above outside table. We even saw the babies w mouths open , calling for more food. One negative was a wasp nest near area between lawn and river. One grandson was stung and several wasps attacked our little diog . they had to be pulled out of her fur access to River. I think I left a pair of navy , knit capris on bench at foot of bed in master bedroom....please let me know if you find them so I can arrange to get them back. All in all , we loved our time there and hope to come back !!!

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 in the SF bay area.

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
As a youngster, Del grew up in Lodi and spent many days adventuring the River. This is one of the best river properties in Northern California! This area has an abundancy of wildlife and nature areas to observe and study. And its not far from our other super cool 7500 sq ft 8-bedroom/ 5-bathroom Colonial Spanish style VRBO property, RedSmith Ranch #1830043
What makes this property unique
Gee, where do I start? The property is very secluded and private. Ok to turn up your music and dance outside all night long. Bring your two clean dogs! This is a kids curiosity paradise; birds, river animals, bugs, a place to truly learn and see how the cycle of animal life and the foothill eco system works.
For the adults, many wineries nearby. Great kitchen, bar, dining rooms, patios, for entertaining. Secluded Pool and Hot Tub for the privacy of clothing option swimming.
House is nearly 5,000 sq ft with spacious bedrooms and common areas. Plenty of nooks and sitting spots to enjoy private time. And night comes with dark skis for great star gazing.
What am in missing?
This property has it all!
