Guest Reviews
- Joseph (8/5): -
- Nysheon (10/5): - Everything
- Isonhood (8/5): -
- Aretino (10/5): - Location, quietness, view, the grounds were breathtaking, staff was excellent and best of all the Christian values. The view after the badly needed rain was breaking! Bed was hard and the pillows were harder. But that's a simple fix on our part because we normally take our own pillows and have been considering a travel mattress topper since my wife and I both have back issues.
- JoAnne (7/5): Just okay. - Riverside Staff was not that polite when we inquired as to breakfast. Not very welcoming. Kids roaming made me nervous. No coffee maker in our room.
- Leslie (10/5): Home away from home!!! - Having the 2 piers to fish off of are nice ,,its quite and peaceful. I have been coming here for 30 years and I will continue to. There is nothing here for 30 years that I have ever had a complaint about. My happy place
- jan (9/5): Good. - Bed was comfortable and clean. Breakfast included
- Zach (10/5): - Not crowded and was peachful
- Leslie (10/5): - Everything!! Everything
- Guest (10/5): -
- Catherine (10/5): Loved our stay. Beautiful place! - Beautiful grounds and very friendly staff. Only complaint is that the rooms don’t have enough soundproofing
- Mary (8/5): It was an unplanned getaway and a nice stay. - The view was great and it was in a quiet area. The shower had no water pressure and was very dated
- Milana (10/5): Great place for a couple (room with a river view) - Great place with a wonderful atmosphere
- Melissa (8/5): -
- Amy (10/5): - Everything was perfect The bed is a little stiff ,but that's it our stay was amazing
- Robert (8/5): - Quite No balcony
- Belarminio (1/5): -
- Ashley (10/5): It was simple and clean. -
- Perdue (10/5): - The grounds are picturesque at Epworth. Had a great view of the pier with sailboats floating along blissfully.
Check-in clerk was very pleasant and had great suggestions for dining on the Island when asked.
There was on site dining available the night we arrived with a buffet and good smelling food, but we wanted to try out the eats elsewhere.
First time traveling to St Simons even though we are lifelong Georgians. Enjoyed everything.
- Gregory (8/5): -
- Mary Jean (10/5): -
- Mary (10/5): Just lovely - Coffee was available for early risers. Ga fans hooting until 4am.
- Steven (10/5): -
- Xiping (9/5): Great location, spacious room, with powerful dehumidifier, clean and comfortable stay - Location, cleanliness, comfort. Bit pricey
- Jeffrey (3/5): Nice property but could use some T.L.C. - What breakfast? We where not aware of any such thing. The only food available was from a vending machine. Room was dirty, and the air conditioner was not working properly. Upon arrival yhe room was very hot. The vent on the ceiling hadn't been cleaned in decades and was blowing out dust.
- Katricia (8/5): This was a quiet, relaxing, serene getaway from the busyness of most other parts of the island. - The property is beautiful and peaceful. The walkways to the rooms had trash (Q-tips, pieces of paper) on them.
- Xiping (9/5): -
- GEORGE (8/5): - Didn't know breakfast is available Pet friendly
- Kim (5/5): - The grounds and river view were nice. Staff walked into the room without knocking about 8:30 a.m. (Check out is 11:30 a.m.) Phone, tv remote and lamp did not work.
- daniel (10/5): comfort in a peaceful, beautiful and historic location - peaceful, beautiful and historic location
- Lorenzo (9/5): - Balcony, room view, free parking, location itself was very well kept Could have been a bit cleaner and adding a pool would be awesome
- North (7/5): -
- Jones (10/5): - Nice, quite place. Beautiful location.
- Yangmao (10/5): - The environment is nice. We can walk around.
- Jamie (3/5): - Location was nice and staff was pleasant. The beds was not comfortable at all. They felt like hard boards. My husband was unable to sleep because of the beds. There was a sock left in the room from previous tenet and at 7am in the morning there was grounds people cutting bushes and trees outside our room.
- Kevin (10/5): Great Value - Such an Amazing value for your money. The view from our room, and the really cold AC. Really Large speed bumps
- Cindy (10/5): Sweet place for the price - Sweet folks Hard lumpy pillow
- Lindsay (7/5): Good -
- Richard (8/5): Kind of misleading - Location and the view awesome Bed was small, was supposed to be 2 queen beds. Bed was not comfortable, seemed a little stiff. No amenities for guest. No coffee maker in the room. And the coffee machine in the common area was out, only had decaf coffee. Booking kind of misrepresented the resort. Didn't really disclose it was a religious facility, (which i absolutely had no problem with)
- Megan (10/5): - This place oozes with charm. So cute and the grounds are Beautiful! Would highly recommend!
- Dewayne (8/5): - Has a nice walking path at night and a fishing area area for those who choose to stay there
- Andrea (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful and right on the river.
- Bost (8/5): Very good -
- David (8/5): Very good -
- Oneal (10/5): Relaxing -
- Misty (8/5): Enjoyed and beautiful view - Clean and beautiful view Everything was good can’t say anything bad about our stay
- Dtgm (10/5): A Wonderful Retreat for either a night or longer. - Our room was right on the water and very clean. WiFi was excellent and everything was spotless.
We thought the bed was very comfortable and the property is delightful to walk around. Nothing

- Cowboy (10/5): Exceptional - The beautiful areas all around, the quiet and Calm, no hustle and bustle. Having to leave
- Eduardo (10/5): Loved - Very good surprise, clean and peaceful place, we loved
- Clayton (2/5): Not the best experience and expensive - For the price, the rooms were not the cleanest, were very old and the beds were not comfortable. We were woken up by house keeping multiple times asking when we were checking out after our first night when we booked for two nights. Went to front desk and they also did not show our second night. We had to show our hotels.com booking to prove we paid for 2 nights. We were placed at the back of the property away from all amenities when the hotel was almost empty. No vending machines. Not the best experience would not recommend especially for the price. Felt more like a $89/nightly motel vs $150+ nightly rate.
- Jammie (10/5): - Love it
- Susan (8/5): It worked out. - Location
Cleanliness Second floor no elevator
Needed new toilet seat
Did not know it was alcohol free/Methodist, needs to be more obvious in description

- Smith (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ethel (10/5): Exceptional - Very few guests because of the cold weather that weekend,so it was very quiet. The views from the balcony were gorgeous. I would have liked a place on the grounds that served a light breakfast. We had to drive into town to get our morning coffee.
- John (10/5): Excellent - View of river
- Peggy (6/5): Pleasant -
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Sparse, out dated but clean
- Nicole (10/5): exceptional place to rest and relax 😌 - the view was absolutely amazing 👏 🤩 and the location was perfect!! only given 3 sets of towels for a family of 4.
- Benjie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Visage (10/5): Exceptional -
- Penni (10/5): Exceptional -
- Verified traveler (2/5): Wish i could have gotten my money back - Its on an old plantation. They dont provide more than 3 sets of towels regardless of how many guests and charge you if you need more. They have a sign that says they encourage you to reuse your towels everyday. The lamps were dusty. The bathtub mat had mildew. The shower curtain had mildew. I wish we could have left but the hurricane was in effect.
- Estwick (7/5): The accommodations were good if you are just looking for a nights stay. - The grounds were beautiful. We loved the balcony and the room was an adequate size. It was also private and quiet. The room smelled musty, but they did have a dehumidifier going so that helped. The bed was more firm than what I prefer. The water pressure was very low. There wasn’t a coffee machine or anywhere to get a coffee.
- ANDREW (6/5): - A little dated but peaceful. Staff was great though.
- Parfenov (10/5): Exceptional -
- Trudy (10/5): - A very beautiful area
- Sherry (8/5): Very good -
- Amanda (10/5): Exceptional -
- Susan (8/5): Very good -
- Maureen (8/5): Very good - Beautiful location
- Stephanie (8/5): Very good -
- Visage (5/5): Epworth - The location was great. Loved the view from our room. The room is very outdated and old. The mini fridge did not work. It wasn't very clean. There was dirt still on the floors throughout. The price was alittle high for what you got.
- Thomas (10/5): Exceptional -
- Joanna (10/5): Exceptional -
- Heather (10/5): Hidden Gem - Location was amazing. Wildlife all around easily seen from your room. The accommodations are very nice our room had a view of the water. We had a balcony with two chairs were we sat and enjoyed the breeze and the view. It was very quiet and family friendly. The AC worked wonderfully, there was a portable dehumidifier in the room that required empyting twice in 12 hours- but we didnt mind doing it since it kept the room more comfortable. The building we stayed in is massive. There is only one elevator. We walked a good distance to get to our room so if you have mobility issues ask to be close to the elevator or on the first floor. The room numbers are a little confusing but the check in clerk can help you with that- when you receive your room key the number is written on the card sleeve holder- it will be 4 numbers - your room number will actually be the last 3 numbers listed. That was not part of our check in instructions initially- but definitely important information.
- Dana (10/5): This was a last minute trip and we are so glad we chose this property. It was very nice and quiet. The views from the ba - Very secluded and quiet.
- Robert (9/5): Eager to come again. The positives out way the negative. - We enjoyed the balcony view. Caffeinated coffee was not available for two days. The refrigerator was tiny.
- Amanda (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kara (10/5): Beautiful accommodation - The property was so beautiful. The room was laid out well and comfortable. We could see the water and wildlife from our balcony. Most people go here for church conferences of some sort. We weren’t a part of that but we were still able to enjoy a peaceful view and rest where they roomed us.
- Disharoon (8/5): Very good -
- Gowheri (9/5): Beautiful view good place to stay I will recommend my friends - The view from the balcony There was no coffee machine inside the room.
- Sherry (10/5): Awesome stay - It is a very beautiful property and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a place in St. Simon’s island. Nothing, it was beautiful
