The Lodge on Little St. Simons Island
Little St. Simons Island, Georgia, United States · Independent · Core Luxury
Little St. Simons was sold in 1908 to the Eagle Pencil Company for its red cedars, then to Philip Berolzheimer of New York, whose family built a hunting lodge on the island in 1917 for weeks of hunting, fishing and parlor games with the group known as the Eight Bandits. Berolzheimer's heirs opened the lodge to the public in 1979, and it remains a Georgia barrier-island retreat beloved by bird-watchers.
