Epworth is a special place with gorgeous views of the Frederica River on St. Simons. The huge, graceful trees and lovely grounds are so peaceful. It really is a sanctuary. You feel as if you're in a protected cocoon with nothing to worry about. The sunsets are amazing! A hidden gem. This would be a good and relatively inexpensive place... More

Not easy to find as a lodging search BUT worth the research ! If you google the name Epworth by the sea .org - (no spaces) you will get to their web page/phone ect.

Epworth is a conference retreat center, but also a great place to visit when not part of a retreat setting. Lovely Lane Chapel is beautiful and so is everything else about the place. When you go through the gate entering Epworth it is like leaving your cares and worries behind. One of my favorite time of the day is watching... More

The food is cafeteria style and while it wouldn't be what you consider 5 star cuisine, it is tasty. The youth cabins are older, but they are clean. Robertson Inn is well kept and... More

The chapel is absolutely beautiful and sets the stage for the serene atmosphere that is Epworth by the Sea. It is the perfect place for a conference or personal retreat. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful! Tiffany Benson is the sales director and is a joy to work with. I highly recommend Epworth to any Meeting Planner.

The outside of the area I stayed in was also spotless and the setting is amazing. I was there alone but felt very peaceful and told my husband that... More
