About This Property

 Greyfield Inn - is a grand and graceful mansion located on Georgia's largest and southernmost coastal island, Cumberland Island. Built in 1900 as a home for Lucy and Thomas Carnegie's daughter, Margaret Ricketson, it was opened as an inn in 1962 by Margaret's daughter, Lucy R. Ferguson, and her family.

 Greyfield Inn is furnished today as it was at the turn of the century, with contemporary amenities blended in with the comfort of our guests in mind.

In true southern fashion, we take great pride in our kitchen. Each morning, awaken to a full and satisfying breakfast which includes fresh-squeezed orange juice and fruit, homemade muffins, and breakfast meats, as well as eggs, pancakes or one of the Chef's specialties. Mid-day, enjoy your day's explorations with a satisfying picnic lunch. During cocktail hour each evening, we serve hors d'oeuvres in the Inn's well-stocked bar while you share stories with fellow guests. Dinner is a casually elegant affair, served in the glow of candlelight. Our nightly entrees feature fresh and creative cuisine, accompanied, if you desire, by a selection from our wine cellar.

Cumberland Island is designated a National Seashore, and, as such, is preserved and protected from development. The daily visitor rate is limited, ensuring a tranquil setting for the island's population of wild horses, deer, bobcat, boar, armadillos and birds. Greyfield's private compound includes more than 200 acres for our guests' use. Spend your days birding (over 300 species appear during the course of a year), swimming, biking, hiking, and fishing, or simply stroll our pristine, white sand beach and savor unparalleled privacy. So please come visit us soon. Our dedicated staff is here to ensure that your stay on our idyllic, private island is the perfect retreat.
