The Ranch House is part of a project called The Baja Station. When you book the Ranch House, the entire house is private and exclusively yours.

Just a one-minute walk away, you’ll find The Baja Station Cafe,  a social, kid- and pet-friendly space where you can enjoy breakfast, coffee, drinks, and get information about water activities. On Sundays, we host our Sunday Jams at the café from 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm.

Other things: We run entirely on solar power and rely on water deliveries, so we encourage guests to be mindful of energy and water use. While we have backup systems like generators and always aim to keep things running smoothly, life off the grid can have its quirks, especially on cloudy days. If you’re a digital nomad or need guaranteed connectivity for a critical call, just give us a heads-up so we can ensure you’re covered. We’re here to help make your stay as seamless as possible!
