Greyfield Inn Review

Once described as a "Tara by the sea," this turn-of-the-last-century Carnegie family home is Cumberland Island's only accommodation. Built in 1900 for Lucy Ricketson, Thomas and Lucy Carnegie's daughter, the inn is filled with period antiques, family portraits, and original furniture that evoke the country elegance of a bygone era. And with a 1,000-acre private compound, it offers a solitude that also seems a thing of the past. Prices include all meals, transportation, tours led by a naturalist, and bikes. Nonguests can dine at the restaurant ($$$$) on delicious dishes that change daily.
