Driftwood Inn
Built more than a century ago, the Driftwood Inn and Cottages on Bailey Island is the oldest inn on the island. During that more than a century, the place has never left the hands of the Conrad family. The Inn has a variety of rooms, from single rooms with a queen or double bed to combination rooms with two double beds, a double and a single and two doubles. About half of the 25 rooms they offer have half baths, the others with a sink. There also are cottage accommodations that all have full, private baths, kitchens and decks. The Inn also provides breakfast and dinner options for their guests, but the restaurant also is open to the public, so make a reservation is you want to make sure you get to eat when you want.
