River View Suites and Parlors at The Clubhouse, Jekyll Island Club Resort
The Jekyll Island Club Resort is the perfect getaway for history buffs and foodies alike. Take in the rich history of this iconic hotel that dates back to the 1800s and imagine bumping elbows with the Rockefellers, Morgans and Vanderbilts as you meander the hallways and stroll through the perfectly-manicured gardens. Begin and end your day with meals prepared onsite at one of the Club Resort's several restaurants. The Grand Dining Room serves traditional favorites for breakfast, dinner and Sunday brunch. Opt for a more casual meal of local seafood served alfresco along the river at The Wharf.
Rooms located within the Clubhouse offer some of the most spectacular views at the resort. Private verandas allow guests to enjoy views looking west toward the East River and the resort's Olympic size swimming pool. River view suites and parlors feature separate living areas and 516-714 sq. ft. of space to stretch out and relax. Who can say no to stunning view of the Golden Isles?!

Cedar House & River Lodge, Little St. Simons Island
There is truly no getaway quite like the serenity and untouched setting of Little St. Simons Island. With over 11,000 acres of undeveloped wilderness, somehow the smallest island in the Golden Isles feels like the biggest. Guests staying at The Lodge at Little St. Simons Island have access to the island's miles of trails, pristine beaches, multiple wildlife viewing platforms and many naturalist-led activities such as kayaking, fishing, and birding.
Little St. Simons Island has six cottages available for guests to choose from when planning their stay. Two of our favorites are The Cedar House and The River Lodge, both next door to one another. Both cabins feature four spacious, private guest rooms with a shared living room and large screened in porch (with a swinging daybed perfect for naps!). All guest rooms have large sliding glass doors that open onto the massive wrap-around porch with million dollar views of the sparkling rivers that meander through the marshes along the island. Plan an escape to Little St. Simons Island for an experience like no other.
