Company description

Greyfield Inn is located on Cumberland Island, the 19th century retreat of Thomas and Lucy Carnegie who built Greyfield in 1900. The home was converted to an inn in 1964 by Margaret’s daughter, Lucy R. Ferguson, and her family. The Carnegie family still oversees the Inn, which exudes the romance and luxury of a grand hotel with the hospitality and charm of a family home.

Cumberland Island offers 18-miles of nearly-isolated beachfront, 300-year-old live oaks draped with Spanish moss, crushed shell paths, and an abundance of wildlife untouched by the outside world. Greyfield Inn is the sole commercial establishment on Cumberland Island, giving guests an unprecedented opportunity to connect with nature at its most pristine. Greyfield Inn’s private setting boasts 200-acres of unspoiled land.

Our culinary history, at Greyfield Inn, is rooted in Southern tradition while being intangibly linked to our coastal heritage. Under the leadership of Executive Chef Luke Conrad, guests are treated to three meals daily, including breakfast, a picnic lunch, and a three course dinner. Each night, Greyfield has one seated dinner at 7:00pm (times may vary). With the ring of a dinner bell, guests are invited to relive family traditions and enjoy a meal hosted around a shared table. Thoughtfully prepared dishes by our chefs will highlight the best of Coastal Southern cooking.

Our menus are influenced by the seasons and what is available in our on-site garden. In the spring months, the garden is bursting with sweet peas, tender greens, and petite root vegetables as we celebrate the opening of shrimp season. During the peak of summer we are busy pickling cucumbers, preserving peaches, and drying peppers for spice blends. Dine with us in the winter months and you will be treated to just-picked citrus from our own trees that hang heavy with fruit, island oysters, and the smell of cedar and oak burning in our dining room fireplace.
