Southern Cross Guest Ranch

Went for a quick one night get away. Had a great time, can’t wait to go back!

Location was wonderful, quiet, safe, ranch with horses, nature all around, trees, flowers,

Breakfast should be better

This is a beautiful, well maintained and expertly furnished property. There are so many places, including the pool area, to sit, relax and listen to and watch the wildlife. It is set in wonderful grounds and extensive countryside with amazing views. We had breakfast daily which was plentiful and tasty and the service from staff was excellent throughout our stay. We did not ride, but if you are a horse rider this is a great place to stay. The nearby town of Madison (about a 15 min car journey) is delightful with a good selection of shops and restaurants and has an old town charm.

Relaxing and enjoyable venue. Friendly staff.

Celebrated a milestone birthday with my close friends here and couldn’t be happier with the arrangements - I wish we could have extended our visit! The staff were incredibly accommodating, the food was delicious, the rooms were spacious with comfortable beds, the pool was refreshing, and the horses were heavenly. Our experience was incredibly relaxing with beautiful scenery, up to 2 horse outings a day, and limitless amounts of space to rejuvenate. Everything about our weekend was beautiful and I recommend everyone to take an opportunity to visit.

I had the most wonderful time horseback riding @ Southern Cross Ranch. The property is simply beautiful, and the horses are well taken care of and loved. I am a new rider and now, new lover of horses. On each visit I have had, the sunshine, the horses, the view, the property, feels like my little place of serenity. It was such a peaceful get away for me and I cannot wait until my next visit. Thanks for having me Southern Cross Ranch! I love it there!!!!

Close to Atlanta. Fresh air and beautiful scenery.

Three friends and I went on February 17th, 2024 and had a blast. It was cold but we still had the best time. The guide was awesome. It would be nice to be able to book a riding trip without the full "experience". I would pay more to ride and not brush and saddle the horse. We arrived at 8:30 for a 9:15 ride. No one showed up until 9:15 to check us in at the barn the we spent an hour preparing the horses. We booked a 2 hour ride (from 9:15 am until 11:15 am) but didn't start the ride until 10:15 because we spent from 9:15 until 10:15 getting the horses ready: brusing them, waiting on someone to wash their legs, getting the saddles and bridles. At 11:15, during the ride, the guide said we had another hour but we couldn't stay for our second hour because we had other plans at noon. We were very disappointed that we couldn't get our full 2 hours due to the delayed start.

Amazing place to stay. Service, food, and atmosphere are amazing.
