Creature comforts
Enjoy the comforts of home—including flush toilets, showers, and a kitchen.
Make lasting memories at this cozy cottage in the foothills of Calaveras County. Deer are abundant, wild turkeys roost in the trees and a large seasonal pond is full of frogs with the occasional ducks, egrets and turtles that love to pass through. The cottage sits on 5 beautiful acres where the terrain has little variation in elevation, making it easily accessible for exploration. In a rural neighborhood of generously spaced ranchettes, you can ensure a feeling of remote tranquility while being just 2 miles from town for all of your shopping needs. This cozy home sleeps 5 people and has an open layout with 2 bedrooms & 1 full bathroom. The primary bedroom has a queen. The secondary bedroom has a twin-over-full bunk bed plus a sofa that pulls out into a queen. The kitchen is thoughtfully stocked with necessities. You can find games/puzzles in the hall closet, plus there's free high-speed WiFi. Ranchero Cottage backs up to the Oak Knoll Campground on New Hogan Lake. This seasonal campground is open during the peak season from May to September. Acorn, the year-round campground, is only a 5-minute drive up the road. The boat launch is nearby too, at just 8 minutes away. Your stay at Ranchero Cottage includes a parking permit for 1 vehicle (plus trailer) gaining you free access to the boat launch & the day-use areas around New Hogan Lake.Enjoy the full five acre property to yourselves, currently listed as one single site with no shared spaces! Surrounded by ranchettes and mini farms. March and April 2026 offer an extra special experience for those that are interested in meeting Daffodil, a sweet little lamb who loves people and will be bottle fed through April.
