    so tranqul and perfect

    May 20, 2013

    Reunion of 5 high school friends. We met and spent the weekend at Sorthern Rose Ranch. We shared the Star Suite until earlly morning hours just talking and remembering. Finally splitting up and going to bed ...part of us in The Rose Suite. Both suites were decorated so perfectly and had everything you could possibly need. We all agreed that breakfast at home would never meet the standards of the delicious meal served at the ranch. Donna and Steve Cummins are the perfect host. They know the area and are so helpful with suggestions and directions. We intend to meet again at the Southern Rose Ranch. Nothing like waking up there in the mornings! If you have not had the pleasure.....you need to.

    Just simply wonderful

    May 18, 2013

    #1 Steve and Donna are just the nicest people you can meet! What a wonderful experience we had at The Southern Rosé! It's a small and therefore wonderful B&B that is also UNtraditional in the sense it's not some old creaky 2-story Victorian structure. Just two private and intimate rooms that was originally a farmhouse I believe. Plus! The unusual black-and-white Oreo cows and the exotic chickens out in the pasture truly add a peaceful and "country" aura to their place! Trust me ---- you WILL enjoy your stay there!

    Most Excellent Experience!

    August 14, 2012

    Donna was so wonderful in contacting me and making sure we knew how to get to the B&B. The house was so clean and beautiful! We had a wonderful stay. The next morning Donna brought us delicious custard French toast with strawberries, sausages, and farm fresh eggs for breakfast! We laid out on the hammock and fully enjoyed our stay in the hot tub and the full outdoor kitchen with a fireplace. I cannot wait to come back! I wish I lived there!

    Wonderful Weekend

    February 29, 2012

    My wife and I really enjoyed our stay here. Not only was the view and the suite better than it appears on the website, but Mr. and Mrs. Cummins were great hosts - providing a very romantic and memorable anniversary weekend. My wife stated that when she thinks of the perfect bed and breakfast, she thinkg of this place. We both highly recommend the Southern Rose Ranch.

    First of hopefully MANY stays!

    September 11, 2011

    Donna and Steve were absolutely wonderful! We enjoyed every minute of our stay at the Southern Rose Ranch. The breakfast was absolutely amazing! We celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary here, and we are glad we did! Donna gave us plenty of ideas on things to do in the area and even recommended a wonderful restaurant for dinner. We added the steak dinner and enjoyed every bit of it! We cannot wait until we get a chance to make it back! Thank you, Donna and Steve for making our anniversary so memorable!

Special Package

Girlfriends' Getaways

"Just the Ya-Ya's" Girlfriend Getaway! Looking for a fun "girlfriend getaway"? Is your group called "The Flip Flop Queens", "The Magnolia Grannies", "The Alabama Ladies", "The Forever 4" or "The Hot Chicks"? Do you plan getaways so you can catch up, shop and spend some quality girlfriend time together? If so, then Southern Rose Ranch is the place for your girlfriend getaway! Perfect for shopping trips, scrap bookers, mother-daughter getaways, and of course for Just the Ya-Ya's getaways! At $87 per person per night (includes all taxes!) for a minimum of three guests this is an economical retreat weekend! Shop all day and stay up to all hours just catching up! ($75 per person for four in the Star Suite-this includes TAX per night.) Book both suites and have the whole ranch to yourselves-for five people it is $96 per person per night! Both suites will accommodate up to seven! If you have more than seven in your group or you want to spread out a little more-our neighbor's cottage is right down the road. Four can stay at the cottage, and you all can hang out at the Ranch and even enjoy a gourmet breakfast together! For 10 Ya'Ya's, the cost is $90 per person per night. (This includes tax) Go ahead, spoil yourself-an upscale guesthouse is so much better than a vacation rental or a hotel! The innkeeper will work with you to figure out the pricing for your group.

Outdoor Adventures

Celebrate the two of you! Little things mean a lot! This romance package includes complimentary champagne and chocolate covered strawberries with the added touches of a fresh garden bouquet. Turkish robes, champagne glasses and candles set a romantic tone for any celebration. Add the package for $45. Instead of a garden bouquet add a dozen beautiful roses for an additional $25! Go ahead-you deserve it!

Romance Packages

The Spa Package! Make your stay at the Ranch even more relaxing! Have a massage in your room with a licensed massage therapist and then relax in the Bain Ultra Air bath! With spa robes, candles and the added treat of the Romance package, you can be sipping champagne and eating chocolate covered strawberries in your own private guesthouse suite. The Spa Package is $100 per person for a one hour massage. You can even request a "Couple's Massage" where two massage therapists give you both a massage at the same time in the privacy of your suite. Just let us know what you prefer; back to back massages or a "Couple's Massage". Our guests RAVE about the incredible massage therapist that comes to the Ranch! Splurge a little more and add the Romance Package for an additional $45!
