The Lodge on Little St. Simons Island

The all-inclusive lodge is for those seeking a Robinson Crusoe type of vacation. It's surprisingly exclusive, but unlike luxury resorts such as Fripp Island, it doesn't have plush upholstery and dramatic architecture. If you like life summer-camp style, this eco-friendly hotel is for you. Simple guest rooms, cooled by ceiling fans, are in the 1917 Hunting Lodge in the main house (which contains the dining room); the 1930s Michael Cottage (a two-bedroom cottage at the forest's edge); and the 1980s Cedar Lodge and River Lodge, each a cottage with four private guest rooms sharing a sitting room with a fireplace and screened porch.

You pour your own drinks at a makeshift bar in the corner of a communal living room with hunting trophies from another era. Hearty, homey meals are served family style in the main dining room, and the staff will be happy to prepare a picnic lunch for you. The menu features locally caught seafood and such Southern staples as fried chicken and barbecue.
