About this property

The Inn at Southern Oaks

The Inn at Southern Oaks, built in 1918, is a charming Southern Inn in quaint historic downtown Lavonia, GA. Surrounded by grand oak trees, it is a complex of a restaurant, speakeasy, wedding venue, and a cozy inn. The two hotel wings blend seamlessly with the historic main house, offering classic charm and comfort. Rooms for rent are located in the hotel wings. In fact, Tommy Lee Jones stayed in Room 5 (Ty Cobb Room) during the filming of the movie "Ty Cobb”.

Just 1 mile from I-85 and walkable to Lavonia’s historic downtown and old train depot, it's the perfect place to relax and enjoy a touch of Southern history and hospitality. It is 15 minutes to Lake Hartwell, Tugaloo State Park and Victoria Bryant State Park. The area boasts some of the best hiking, waterfalls, and golf.

Each room in the hotel wing has a queen bed, and its own ensuite bathroom. Bedrooms are equipped with a TV, mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker.  Bathrooms are newly renovated with a spa like walk in shower with rain shower head. Each room has an individually curated theme. These include Garden Room, Beach Room, Parisian Room, Lake Room, Ty Cobb Room, Provence Room, Safari Adventure Room, and Asian Room.

The complex has a grill and outdoor table and chairs, as well as a fire pit for guests to enjoy. Circa 1918 Dining is located in the historic Manor house. It is open for brunch and dinner on weekends, and lunch and dinner on most week nights. Our executive chef is on the board of a local culinary school, and has prepared signature Southern dishes with a contemporary twist. The Old 18th (named after the 18th amendment that ushered in the prohibition era) Speakeasy is the hidden gem that will complete your experience.

Come explore a historic Southern Town that was preserved by yesteryear, complete with train depot, and is the gateway to your lake and outdoor adventures.

They have done a great job of renovations. Room was great. Dinner in the 1918 house was superb, the food was priced very reasonable, and the waitress was wonderful. My husband has not stopped raving about the brussel sprouts, he got as a side dish. It was a great getaway...
