About this property

The Inn at Southern Oaks located in Historic Lavonia, GA, close to Lake Hartwell

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.

The owner recently opened the rooms after a renovation. The rooms are great, very clean and cozy. The restaurant is directly next door and the food was wonderful. We stayed for a few nights and had no issues or complaints. The owner and his wife are very friendly and very receptive to suggestions, recommendations, etc. Thanks Ron for a cozy experience!

The Inn is very cute and you can tell the owner has put some time and money into the place. Our room was refreshed with some modern updates and it was lovely. Upon our arrival we met the owner at the restaurant on the premises and he walked us to our room. The room was very spacious and clean! My husband and I stayed two nights and they were quiet and restful. If I have any reason to visit the area again I would definitely book another stay here.
