April 08, 2013
Once again we enjoyed our stay at The Booker-Lewis House. The Ward House was not opened yet on our last stay. It is very nice, did not know there was going to be a pub, which is nice ,but was a little noisy and smokey for the room we had down stairs. Over all not too bad though. Breakfast the next morning was very good and our waitress was top knotch, great attitude and very friendly.
5 out of 5We look forward to visiting/dining often!

While initially we were hesitant about our upcoming military move, The Booker-Lewis House left a warm and welcoming impression! The House is layed out amongst several historical building and invites you to relax and take in the love and hospitality of the south. My hubby and I are 20+ year Army veterans, so we have uprooted and had to learn our new stations culture countless times. The staff was readily available to assist. The food was AMAZING! A little pricey but well worth the delectable cuisine. Complimentary breakfast with our stay was an enjoyable way to chat, hear about the local happenings, and eat award winning cusine. The room was cozy and had current amenities (great wi-fi and flat screen). The house felt like your favorite aunt's house with every home ammenity (laundry, microwave, frig, family room, dining room). The location was perfect for us (minutes from realtor's office and retail stores). Overall, while the high end hotels have a way at tugging at your purse strings, The Booker-Lewis Inn will tug at your heart.................... The Williams

4.0 out of 5Really unique lodging
April 03, 2013
We really liked the property - but made a logistical error in booking a first floor room away from the late night noise of the pub. The bed was especially comfortable and the bathroom quite large. I thought the Easter brunch was acceptable, but did really enjoy the fresh made waffles
5 out of 5Simply a must if you pass through Leesville!
March 25, 2013
I travel a lot with my company and had previously been staying at a hotel and was not happy. I hated knowing I had to travel to Polk simply because of the hotel and not having very good food in the area; that is until I found The Booker-Lewis House. I had someone recommend me to go eat dinner there so I went to check it out. The food was outstanding! The Coriander Ribeye is the best steak I have ever had cooked for me. I got to talking with my waitress and I found out that this was a bed and breakfast and that they give special rates to those who stay frequently. Well this past weekend was my first trip back and I stayed with The Booker-Lewis House. I am not joking when I say I felt like family. I stayed in the Inkeeper's Room and my business partner stayed in Mike's Room. We were relaxed and felt at home! It was nice, unlike at a hotel, for us to be able to hang out and get a little work done together in the dining room or living room of the house that our rooms were in and then just go to our rooms at the end of the evening. The complimentary breakfast was great, the staff was great, the bar is nice, and the dinner is the best in the Leesville/Fort Polk area!
