Company description

Located on Cumberland Island, the 19th-century retreat of Thomas and Lucy Carnegie’s daughter Margret Carnegie Ricketson was built in 1900 and converted to an inn by Margret’s daughter, Lucy Ricketson Ferguson, in the 1960s. The Ferguson family still runs Greyfield Inn, preserving the historic family home while sharing the natural beauty of Cumberland Island with it's guests, visitors, and of course, our lovely team.

Cumberland Island stretches eighteen miles north and south and ranges from three-fourths to two and a half miles wide. Expansive salt marshes and tidal estuaries are protected on the island’s west side, and, from the Atlantic Ocean to the east. Dense oak and pine forests, freshwater sloughs, and long sand dune ridges provide for plant and animal communities of great diversity. Over half of Cumberland is protected wilderness; many miles of trails provide excellent access. Wild horses, turkeys, island hogs, deer, and armadillo are among the few animals that roam the island.
