Lookaway Inn occupies a late-1800s Beaux-Arts mansion at 103 W Forest Avenue in North Augusta, South Carolina, three minutes from the Savannah River and downtown Augusta, Georgia. The 15-room bed and breakfast draws couples, history buffs, and small-wedding parties with its period architecture and manicured gardens.
Guests check into individually decorated rooms with private baths, high ceilings, and original millwork that reflects the home’s turn-of-the-century construction. Mornings bring a full complimentary breakfast served in the formal dining room, and the landscaped courtyard and gardens host weddings, rehearsal dinners, and private gatherings throughout the year. Free Wi-Fi, on-site parking, and cable TV round out the practical amenities, while the house itself—wraparound porches, tall windows, ornamental trim—gives the stay its character rather than any added spa or restaurant program.
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Book several weeks ahead for spring and fall weekends, when SRP Park baseball games and local weddings fill the inn’s limited rooms. The Imperial Theatre, Augusta Museum of History, and Morris Museum of Art sit within a ten-minute drive, making the inn a workable base for a weekend of Augusta sightseeing without downtown hotel prices. Walkable Creighton Park is a few blocks away for a morning stroll before breakfast.
