南十字星客棧

Walking the open pastures among 20–30 beautiful horses was like stepping into a dream. The connection, the calm, and the freedom were unforgettable. My 2-hour ride was equally breathtaking—peaceful, empowering, and deeply grounding. Southern Cross Ranch is a hidden gem for any horse lover seeking serenity and joy. I left feeling refreshed and inspired.

Probably the best trail ride I have ever been on. I have done Wyoming, Wisconsin, Maui, Kauai, The Big Island, Los Angeles (all over) Santana Barbara and more, and this is by far the best. Love that you get to groom and tack up, being able to trot and canter, but best part was going off on our own. The barn is gorgeous and I would have to say, the horses look extremely well taken care of, happy and healthy! Thank you for a truly memorable ride on our girls trip with my daughter. Would love to come back and stay at the bed and breakfast on the property.

We had a mini suite, to the side of the main house. It was a good size, quiet, and decorated with a distinct Wyoming/Grand Teton vibe. The main buildings had a few good, idiosyncratic places to sit and relax….downstairs TV room, cozy small sitting room with a fire and an enclosed verandah. It had a good breakfast, in a room that reminded me of summer camp. Even if you’re not into riding horses, the feel of being in the real countryside is worth the cost. A memorable place to stay.

My daughter and I visited Southern Cross Ranch for the weekend and loved it. The food was amazing and the staff was helpful and welcoming. We purchased the all-inclusive plan that included horseback riding twice a day. The horses were well-trained and pleasant, and our guide, Nicki, was friendly and knowledgeable. There was plenty to do besides horseback riding. We went for walks on the property and sat by the pool. The food was exceptional. Every meal was prepared to perfection and there were always plenty of choices.

I have been coming here for years with my mom and my daughter and recently brought my husband and (now) 8 year old son for some equestrian fun! It was a wonderful experience and it got my son hooked on horses! Nikki was especially wonderful during our stay. On our last ride of the trip, she went out of her way to make my little guy feel special and helped us all achieve our individual horse goals! She was personable and kind and very knowledgeable. She really made our trip great. Riley, Chris, and Tawny were also very fun and caring guides! In addition to the horseback riding, another standout is the delicious food and amazing kitchen staff! Every meal was awesome with a lot of options. And Karen (office/front desk manager) is always so warm and welcoming. Love this place!

Just spent a most enjoyable week at Southern Cross Ranch with friends. The trail horses are all in good condition and superbly trained to allow mixed groups to safely go out on the trails together. Never before have I seen horses so willing to stay back and walk while other riders in the group cantered or trotted ahead. The horses were all in good condition, none needing “extra groceries”. The footing on the ranch trails is good, although trails are somewhat limited. Once you proved your riding ability, you could go out on the trails without a guide. Staff were all friendly and competent. My room was clean and the bed was comfy. Food was good and plentiful. It was very enjoyable watching the horses turned out in the large pasture that abuts the ranch/guest house. Very picturesque setting.
