The ranch and accommodations were just as described. The cabana was comfy and clean, the kitchen is in a separate building and there is no fridge but I was able to borrow a cooler to store our food. The ranch and cabanas are powered by solar energy and on demand hot water. The food at the restaurant is creative and delicious and prepared by the chef, the prices were comparable to a good Canadian restaurant, it’s a family run operation and everyone was very friendly and accommodating.

Stay here for a restful natural retreat! Our cabana was clean and comfortable. Showers run almost hot (close enough!). We ordered breakfast and dinner daily from the onsite restaurant. The food was delicious, and they brought breakfast to our cabana so we could enjoy it on our private patio. The staff are lovely and the two resident dogs are sweethearts. What an incredible ranch in a beautiful part of Baja!

The waterfall swimming area is beautiful. Each unit has its own space and it’s very pleasant with a wonderful deck for stargazing. The goats, rabbits, turtles, donkeys and other animals are an added bonus. This is a great place to unwind with no wifi and sporadic cell service. A great place to relax!

Great off the beaten path location for exploring the Sol de Mayo Waterfall and the surrounding Sierra de la Laguna mountain range near the small town of Santiago. We really enjoyed the hike to the waterfall and exploring the Cañon de la Zorra (Fox Canyon) above the falls. The accommodations weren't fancy, but we did enjoy the peace and tranquility of the desert landscape and the beautiful oasis tucked away amid the arid canyon. Star gazing at night from the roof top was the perfect way to unwind at the end of the day. As a side note, if you get down to the falls early in the day, you should have the place all to yourself before the crowds/visitors from the surrounding areas show up. I would recommend calling ahead of time if you plan to eat at the Rancho or in the town of Santigo (about 20-minutes away), as we found that most places were closed on the Wednesday that we visited.

What a rare privilege to be able to get out under a pitch black starry night, and take a break from wifi and cell phones. This place is well worth spending at least a night at and remembering what life was like before technology ruled us. Beautiful, amazing food, very comfortable cabin and private kitchen next door with rooftop patio. Great value for what you get, kind staff. Highly recommended...to say nothing of the beautiful falls nearby, it's like being transported into a completely different world than Cabo. My only recommendation would be if they could provide lawn chairs so you could star gaze at night. Truly stunning

Simple accommodations right next to the waterfall. It was great staying right there and being able to thoroughly explore the area. We also didn’t expect the food on site to be so incredible. We went for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and everything was absolutely incredible. Each unit feels very private and you get a little rooftop to watch the sunset. We loved our experience here.

This is a secluded heaven. Tell only your best friends type of place. The hike to the waterfall was intermediate but so rewarding. We hike by ourselves and when got to the waterfall we were the only ones there. The business is run by family but service is super professional and food was excellent. Look forward to visiting again and again.

Joy and Linda's Mountain Get away

This was exactly what we were looking for. It was set up to meet the needs of the guests. We loved our little unit Which was much larger than what appeared in the photos. We walked to the falls and the paths were well taken care of it was an easy 10-15 minute walk The rooster woke us in the morning The people working there were very nice and helpful. It was also near enough to Santa Rita that we could drive to the beautiful natural hot pools in that area. (about a 30 minute drive). All in all we had a great trip!

Really unique and cool place to stay. Definitely off the beaten path and quiet but understand that there’s about 10 km of rough dirt road involved in getting here which was doable in an economy car but was pushing it. Accommodations are great including 2 brick buildings- a bedroom/bathroom in one and kitchen/dining in other with rooftop terrace. Star gazing from rooftop was memorable. Nearby waterfall and fresh water pool was also beautiful and swimable. No cell service, but that’s ok if you want to “get away from it all”. Delicious meals can be ordered or bring and cook your own. It’s a ranch so there are goats, chickens and friendly dogs on the property. Owners were friendly and accommodating.

A unique experience! Overall, we enjoyed our stay here. Easy access to the falls, and we spent an entire day exploring the surrounding canyon. The accommodations felt spacious and charming. We really enjoyed the rooftop space, although it would be lovely to have furniture up there. We ended up just bringing up a couple of the dining room chairs to sit on. We were a little disappointed to find out that in the evening, around 7pm (and all throughout the night), a generator runs at the main house. I was expecting a remote, quiet evening of nature sounds, but instead ended up playing music in the evening to help drown out the sound of the generator. Also, was so grateful to have brought ear plugs along, as the handful of roosters on the property start up around 3am and continue until around 7am. My husband is not a light sleeper like me, but even he was using the earplugs to help sleep. It's also interesting that you have a nicely equipped kitchen, but no way to keep things cool. We had a small lunchbox of refrigerator items, which we kept in the fridge located in the main building's kitchen, but it was pretty inconvenient, as the door to that kitchen is often locked, so we couldn't just access our things when needed, and I didn't necessarily want to bother the hosts every time I wanted something in the fridge. Overall, was a nice place to stay, with some minor inconveniences.

Nice Mexican ranch about 30 min from Santiago down a dirt road. Spacious, new, clean cabins. Your cabin actually comes with 2 separate buildings- 1 with a bedroom bathroom and the other with a basic kitchen (that we did not use). Bring earplugs- there are obviously animals on the ranch. The restaurant was closed when we were there as the staff was on vacation but we heard it is normally quite good. Fortunately we learned about this before we arrived since we had emailed to ensure we would be able to order dinner on arrival since there are no other food options nearby. I would recommend emailing them beforehand to check about food availability as well. We had talked to them about having breakfast prepared as well but the staff was never awake or available before 8 am. Our biggest issue was that communication was poor. One morning we left the ranch around 8 am for our activities and about 10 min into the drive to town there was a locked gate on the road. We had to turn around to go back to the ranch when an employee passed us driving to unlock the gate. We had no idea there was a gate that would be locked- if you are arriving late or leaving early, this is important to know! We then emailed the property to let them know we would be checking out around 8 am the next day. They confirmed they gate would be open- at 830 the next day it was not. We had to wake up the staff to open it and they were unhappy. Enjoyed the stay otherwise.

Away from it all

If you like to be away from it all, this is the place. Beautiful waterfall, close to hot springs, hiking. The people running the lodge are great and the food is out of this world. No refrigerators so plan accordingly if you are making your own food. One building is your bathroom and bedroom and the second building is the kitchen and dining area with two additional places to either sleep or sit. Can go on top of the second building above the kitchen for sunsets and bird watching. Very peaceful and the other guests were very nice.
