Great spot in a quaint area. If you like history then stay here. John is great about local history, plus the beauty of the Inn is well worth the stay. The breakfast was great, room was very roomy, hot shower, comfy bed. Couldn’t ask for more.

Very pleasant stay. John and staff very welcoming and accommodating. Would have appreciated some actual glasses in the room. We arrived late and had brought a bottle of wine which we had to drink out of 2 small plastic cups… otherwise all was good.

Charming historic hotel. Friendly host and staff. Big spacious rooms. Good location with many good dining locations just a mile away near the river walk. When in the area this is where I will stay. The buffet breakfast with eggs made to order is exactly as it sounds.

If you are ever in the Augusta area, staying in South Augusta is a clever idea. Beautiful small town, with a lot of great dining places to choose from. And staying at the Lookout is an absolute no-brainer. An amazing bed-and-breakfast type property, it's really the former Mansion of the founder of the town. It has been converted to a small hotel, with all modern amenities, but it keeps its character - which is unusual. Our bedroom was enormous and perfectly furnished. Even better, John - one of the owners who also manages Lookout - is an interesting and gracious host. He oversaw breakfast, and we had a great conversation that made is feel welcomed.. If we are ever in Georgia again, we now know where to stay.

Our stay was wonderful! The inn was very clean and beautifully furnished. The host was communicative and accommodating. We were treated to a lovely breakfast with eggs made to order and a variety of buffet items. The host was available for conversation and questions but not obtrusive. We would highly recommend a stay at the Inn if you are in the area.

Old inns are quirky and lack amenities we take for granted, but this place was a great memory while others hotels just fade from your mind. We're grateful John and his partners keep this treasure going.
