Stone River Retreat, 6 BDRMS, sleeps 14, pool, spa, very private!

Stone River Retreat is nestled along the banks of the Mokelumne River in the Sierra farming foothills. The property is isolated in the midst of vineyards, wineries and walnut orchards in Clements, CA. We have been working on property updates for the past two years and probably will never be finish, ha, ha! Property features the modern ambiance of a French country manor with six spacious bedrooms (3 downstairs and 3 upstairs) and four full and one 1/2 bathrooms. Sleeps 14. The interiors are furnished with one-of-a-kind modern art and furniture. Living room is anchored by an oversized stone fireplace in the beamed great room with bar overlooking the river. At one end of the house is a large family room with big screen TV, rock fireplace, large glass doors on both sides, one side opens to the pool and other to the butterfly garden. Large airy kitchen, dining room, sitting room for chats overlooking the river, etc. (See floor and site plans)

We have just built a new sport pool/spa (27'x40'), the yard surrounding the pool has over 1,000 sq ft of covered patios for lounging, ping-pong, dining and other entertaining. Little over an acre of lawns surrounding the house and along the river.

If your family and friends are looking for a very private, luxurious place to swim, admire, relax and enjoy each other's company, this is it.

But that's not all! This property is secluded in middle of the wilderness with an abundance of wildlife to observe and adventure, this is a place children and adults can exhaust their curiosities. Enjoy kayaking, swimming, fishing, bird watching, wine tasting, blackberry picking, exploring nature hikes, yoga next to the pool, cycling country roads, and the charm of nearby Gold Country towns of Amador City and Sutter Creek.

If you are looking for an adventure, this is it.

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.

Amazing Stay
I don't usually write VRBO reviews but this place was the TOPS From the very beginning of the booking process Del was very helpful. Del met us upon arrival and first look of the property beautiful lots of green plants ,flowers, grass. He gave us a brief tour of the house and how things work and where things were located. The pool and the spa were amazing with the 2 umbrella holes in the Baja shelf you were able sit in shade on a chair all day. Awesome feature for kids. Fishing ,ping pong, slip n slide, archery Paddle board. So much to do if you wanted. Inside bar, kitchen had so many extras that most don't provide. Beds were comfortable TV room on the far end on the house nice large sofa. So many areas to visit and have your own time if needed to read a book and have a coffee or Mimosa. Also 5mins down the road we got fresh corn and 2 yummy pies. I can't say enough about this place so if you are looking for your next retreat this is the one for you.

Perfect Executive Retreat
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

Amazing stay
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!

A Really Great Thanksgiving
I have to start with the Host. Del is so caring. His desire for his guests to have a good time is for real. It that makes all the difference when staying somewhere. Are we walking on glass when we use the place or just having a good time? With Del it's gonna be "have a great time". Great music system, great kitchen, great pool, great beds, great house layout, great everything. It felt like a real relaxing vacation and not imposing on someone or feeling like you're gonna get nickled and dimed for who knows what "infractions". With the tone set, the actual place is great! Lots of smaller areas to hang out but also multiple big communal spaces. Both indoors and outdoors. The kitchen is amazing, and for a Thanksgiving dinner for 15 people, it went off without a hitch or a cold dish. Bedrooms are right sized, spaced out in the house, and filled with comfy comforters and pillows. Literally every person on the trip thanked me for finding this place that also had a great host. Del made me a local hero! ps - Del swung by with a hot apple pie from a local baker when he was dropping off some extra blankets. Making me even more of a hero on our first night there :-)

Beautiful and serene
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!

Hidden Gem - perfect for groups!
The house was so much more than we expected! Let’s start with the inside - From the comfort of the beds, the number of full bathrooms, the perfectly decorated seating areas, to the multiple fridges for maximum food and beverage storage, Del and his partner have really thought of everything. The outdoor – plenty of parking, so many places to sit and relax (some quiet coffee areas away from your group for a moment), the peaceful firepit by the river where we waved at paddle boarders and watched a mother fox play with her cubs! Beyond the beautiful pool and spa space this home has SO much to offer. The host is responsive and helpful. A group of 12 girls and not one complaint, this house is known as a unicorn. Jump on a wine trip to Lodi which has so many wineries to visit. Our group is already looking for a reason to revisit this house! Thank you so much, Del!!!

Del is a 5-star 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!

Beautiful Retreat
The property is just beautiful, With the natural setting of the lake to the perfect garden and flowers. The crystal clear pool is absolutely wonderful and can be enjoyed well into the night with the warm weather. Our family also enjoyed the hot tub being inside the pool. The house is spacious and very nicely decorated. The bathrooms are like being in a hotel - love the showers. There are a lot of bathrooms so no waiting around. The kitchen is well equipped and the two dishwashers and refrigerators make it so easy! We were all very sad it was time to leave. Del and Marne are wonderful thoughtful hosts! We have stayed at both of their rentals and both are wonderful. Lots of laughs, good food and memories were made! We will be back ❤️

Delightful
We could not have been happier. I'm afraid that by enumerating all the positives I will somehow spoil the magic. The kitchen was fully equipped and gracious - two dishwashers helped us establish a rhythm. Two refrigerators allowed us to spread out. Twelve of us sat down at the dining table each night. Our young grandsons slept hard each night because each day they spent in the pool - the thoughtfulness of its design made it hard to keep them out. We felt private and secluded throughout, able to enjoy each other by the pool, by the river and in numerous and ample sitting areas throughout the house. The house felt personal. dave and sue
