Immerse Yourself in a Nature-Filled Island Escape Reachable only by boat for a limited number of guests, The Lodge on Little St. Simons Island is a truly secluded island getaway experience. And while it may be located on a small barrier island, this location packs a punch with all-inclusive amenities, abundant natural beauty, and simple-yet-stunning lodging. Want marsh views? Opt for a room in the Cedar House to see sweeping vistas of the coastal salt marshes as you sip iced tea and sway on a cushioned porch swing. Prefer privacy? Reserve a room at the charming, two-bedroom Michael Cottage , where you can listen and watch for local critters on an expansive deck beneath centuries-old oaks with thick tresses of Spanish moss. No matter which accommodations you choose, you’ll find ways to slow down, admire the scenery, and appreciate the moment. Your accommodations aren’t the only place with jaw-dropping panoramas. Explore Little St. Simons Island ’s undeveloped beaches and verdant old-growth forests on self-or naturalist-guided tours included with your stay. Imagine paddling along winding tidal creeks surrounded by tall marsh grasses as you watch pods of breaching dolphins. Or, bike along miles of beach with crashing waves and calling shorebirds as the soundtrack. At different times of the year, you can participate in special programs like birding events around annual migrations or wildflower-spotting activities; the island is home to rare perennials like swamp rosemallow, loved for its fluttering pink blooms. Mealtimes at the lodge do more than satisfy hunger – here you’ll experience tantalizing feasts sourced from the on-site garden. Tip: ask about taking a tour with its gardener to learn more about your dinner’s ingredients. Savor delectable oysters harvested from Eagle Creek during the September through April oyster season, drizzle golden honey on handcrafted cheeses sourced from local farmers, and taste hints of citrus and herbs snipped from the garden. 106 #EXPLOREGEORGIA THE LODGE ON LITTLE ST.
