First stayed here in high school. Now 25 years later, it is more beautiful and peaceful than I remember. Couple it with a day trip to the perfect Cumberland Island close by and you will have a heavenly trip. Also tour the historic and interesting Jekyll Island.

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

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

Definitely a retreat environments and was here for just that, a women's church retreat. Grounds are beautiful. Stayed in the newer hotel space. Very nice room - similar to a Courtyard or Hampton. All the rooms have balconies overlooking the waterway - perfect for watching the sunset. Off property, St. Simons are golfing opportunities, shopping downtown, and a prayer labrynth... More

I have visited this facility 4 times over the past 6 years. The price is reasonable, the grounds are beautiful and the customer service is amazing. 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

We took a long-weekend to St. Simons for a family birthday outing. Epworth is a retreat location that we had been to in the past for both Church related events and work events. It has extensive grounds with hundred year old live oaks, Spanish moss, walking and biking paths, pool, tennis courts, basketball court, playgrounds, and cafeteria. The rooms are... 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.
