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.
