The host had our room prepared for us and had a letter for us to help us with late check in. The food looked amazing even though we didn't get to eat it because we went to a football game. They had 24hr snacks. They had a beautiful pool. The location was amazing because it was on a farm.

Great stables and horse riding experience. Staff was very friendly and helpful. They care for over 140 horses!! The food service was mediocre though kitchen staff tried hard to please everyone. Don’t expect a memorable food service and we went off ranch some nights for dinner. But it’s a Ranch and you really have a great experience. Overall a delightful trip.

We enjoyed our stay at the ranch. They were all so nice and willing to answer any questions we may have had. The horses were just so relaxing to watch run in the field and my family enjoyed their time horseback riding. We definitely come back and already talking about it.

The "hallway" to my 2nd floor room was covered but open with very nice views of the pool and grounds and sometimes the horses. The room was also very comfortable and attractive.

Southern Cross Ranch was a wonderful facility. Our room was clean. Breakfast was very fresh and delicious and the views from the breakfast room was spectacular! All staff were very warm, friendly and helpful, especially the owner, Inga; Karen in the office; Kimberly in the restaurant as was all the other staff employees. Thank you so much for your hospitality! We will definitely return!

Rooms was comfy and the shower head was at least 7 feet up. Tall people will definitely appreciate this. We enjoyed roaming the property and riding bikes. The horses are beautiful when they are grazing the pastures. Breakfast was wonderful. So much to choose from. Will definitely return if in the area.

A horse lovers dream! With over 400 acres to roam, it's hard not to find something beautiful here. The staff is very friendly and fun to talk with. The gathering areas are chock full of activities and things to look at it. Nearly any window you look out you'll see a horse! The animals, and there are many besides horses, are super friendly and lovable. We loved playing with all the animals here. We will definitely be back!

This place was so beautiful, quiet, and amazing!!! I have a horse allergy and no interest in horses so I almost didn’t book but options were running low and I took a risk and I’m so glad I did!! It was so EXTREMELY clean and I could’ve easily stayed for a week and had so much fun in such a calming environment. I can’t wait to come back with my kids and stay longer to truly enjoy how put together the inn was!

The horses is why I went and was not disappointed. We were unable to ride but it was due to the weather. Breakfast was delicious and a lot of fun activities if it hadn’t rained the whole time.

The property was absolutely beautiful and the accommodations were great! The room was spacious and the pool area was very inviting! The dinner buffet was filled with many delicious options to choose from and was very convenient. I would suggest a vent for the bathroom and possibly a mini fridge in each room. I would definitely love to return with my daughter and her friend for another stay.

I loved the grounds, pool, cats, view, cleanliness, and the scratch-made breakfast buffet. The landscaping was beautifully manicured, and the pool was immaculate. The room was super clean, and the unscented sheets were perfect for my allergies. Having spent 25 years in the hospitality industry, I am extra cognizant of quality, service, and cleanliness. The property was very quiet. No doors slamming; it felt like staying in someone's home. Although I'm an equestrian, I didn't do any horse activities, but other guests loved their experiences. The breakfast was hot and comprehensive. The staff was chipper and kept everything well-stocked. They provided great drinks and snacks all day, plus a medicine cabinet and fridge for leftovers after dining in beautiful Madison. Note for future guests: they provide a gratuity envelope to be turned into the office. We are not accustomed to tipping at a B&B and don't travel with cash, so come prepared for that. My only critique is the mandatory arrival tour. While it's a great idea, I suggest letting guests check into rooms first. I had only slept for one hour and needed time to regroup. Between the exhaustion and the heat, I thought I was going to pass out. Perhaps the tour could be done via a QR code instead to help out guests and staff. Just a thought.

Just for riding horses, not a hotel to stay in.

If you want to ride horses, stay here. A bit odd to me, clean, but needs a refresh. Beautiful grounds.
