The nearby town of Ione, home to many horse trainers, has recently completed an indoor arena, open to the public for a small fee.

At approximately 500’ elevation, it is well below the snow and frost line. In 2 hours, you can choose to head to Yosemite National Park, San Francisco, Napa Valley, or Lake Tahoe.

Great Place
A really wonderful place. My wife and I spent 3 months there this past winter and enjoyed it tremendously. Open floor plan with a huge kitchen and everything you need to cook. Patios front and back depending on how much sun you want. Quiet and secluded but plenty of neighbors within a 1/4 mile. A mile from Camanche Lake with great hiking, fishing, camping and bird watching. We will be back next year.

Enjoyed the Ranch
We had a great time and it was very comfortable for my family. All of my communication was promptly answered and it was a great experience. I came in knowing about the internet/phone issues and brought a 5G Hotspot which worked fine for me. Spacious and very clean. It is secluded but not far from stores, food etc. I would definitely recommend this property as a perfect escape.

Hot, cool and perfect!
We had a great time at Mary Anne's plan and she is a wonderful, super responsive host. We stayed here for the July 4th weekend, and actually camped outside the house, while other family members stayed inside with the air-conditioner, as the temperature was nice and cool from 9 PM - 9 AM. The air was clean and there is no light pollution, so we didn't put on the rain cover and enjoyed looking at the stars. It is only a 10 minute drive to Lake Camanche South Shore we were able to get one of the last tickets for the day, as we arrived at 9:30 AM (they have a capacity limit of 150 ticket/day, no re-entry). We also went to the Mokelumne River where we enjoyed fishing, tubing and just relaxing on the river bank. Useful tips: Bring a small blow-up pool, foldable/pop-up shade (useful at the property and the lake) and a Patio Misting System which you can hand around the pop-up shade. Internet: not good for zoom calls, but you can stream videos. Disconnect from work! Thank you Mary Anne, we will definitely be back!

About the host

Hosted by Mary Anne Turner

Host profile image
In 1998, I had a job offer in California, and looked for a place for myself and my dogs and horses. It was not my intention, but I met a man and moved to his hometown of Orange, California in 2000. We married in 2002. I didn't want to give up this property, it really speaks to my soul. All these years, I've kept the house leased out. Now, as retirement approaches, I've decided to make some updates and changes to suit my husband and I when we're ready to move. In the meantime, VRBO is a good way to keep the house occupied and continue to bring up to date.

Why they chose this property

Rancho Lo Sierra has the unique quality of a wilderness "feel," without being remotely located. The dramatic lava rock formations provide interest, and the rolling hill terrain provides a lot of privacy. Over half is wooded with Oak and large Pine trees. The seasonal creek is an added feature. This part of Sierra foothills is the very beginning of the Pine trees. At 500' elevation, it's not the High Sierra, hence the name "Low Sierra." It's below the frost line, so it never freezes nor snows. Deer, turkey, squirrels, and the occasional fox frequent the property. Manzanita and Buckeye also round out the vegetation. Check out generous discount for monthly (28 days) rentals.

What makes this property unique

Camanche Lake "South Shore" recreation area is only a mile away. See https://www.lakecamancheresort.com/. There is swimming and places to fish from shore in ponds stocked with fish. In addition, the Mokelumne River Coast to Crest Trail offers miles of trails. Areas of interest abound, San Francisco, Yosemite, and South Lake Tahoe are all within a couple of hour's drive. Sacramento is a little over an hour away. Close by is the Marshall Gold Discovery (Sutter's Mill), Calaveras Big Trees Park, and the wineries in Lodi, Amador County, and Murpheys. Fascinating history of the Gold Rush abound if you wish to explore. The area where Camanche Lake now locates, was a ranch which the widow kept going, and was very successful. Her real life character was made into a TV series, "Big Valley" in the 1960's with Barbara Stanwyck. Although it's location is attributed to Stockton, the nearest city. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Big_Valley. ENJOY
