It’s nothing short of amazing that a little hotel like this is still in operation. It’s perhaps Nahunta’s greatest remaining commercial landmark. Built by Fred. O. Knox, it closed in 1966. It reopened in 1986.

I have a picture of this hotel. The story told by my Grandfather and Grandmother is of my Grandfather’s brother was a police officer and he used to come to the hotel and sit in the lobby and he probably ate there or nearby. One day he was found sitting in a chair and suffered a stroke. I remember visiting him in a nursing home in Jesup when he was bedridden. I think of him everytime I drive by this place.
It’s closed now. Sad
I’m so glad I live in and I’m a part of this great small town, Nahunta Ga. Brantley Co.
You can also walk next door and get your hair cut by Mr. C.W.
This is the hometown of many of my family members and my grandmother who’s maiden name is Knox. So glad to see a website like this!!! My Dad was born in a house in nearby Rabun and we were sad to find out that the house has been torn down.
I love this little Hotel… rocking chairs out on the sidewalk… small town at it’s best… great hostess….. try it, you’ll like it…
I agree, Lance. Not many places like this left in Georgia, or anywhere else for that matter.
