Wedding venue review:…read more Beautiful place. The weather was wonderful for an outdoor wedding in November, so having the ceremony under that beautiful tree in the yard set the scene. It DJ knew how to keep things going which is important. Good job. A few notes: -Maybe have someone checking the bathrooms more frequently. A wedding starting at 4p and only two bathrooms for 100+ people? Yes. The bathrooms need to be served more frequently than they were. -There were too many tables. In the corner we were in, up by the DJ, our table by the pole and the table by the wall had people gettin up to allow anyone in the corner table to get out. It was cramped over there. 21.11.2025

My fiancé and I recently stayed at Greyfield Inn for Memorial Day Weekend, and we are still raving…read moreabout our trip to anyone who will listen. If you are looking for the ultimate romantic escape, this is it. I almost didn't want to post a review out of fear that the Inn will get too popular, but something this extraordinary must be shared. From the moment you step off the Inn's private ferry, it feels as if you have stepped back in time. The untamed, natural beauty of Cumberland Island seems almost prehistoric, while the understated, casual "Old Money" elegance of the Inn harkens back to the days of the Gilded Age when the Carnegies and their contemporaries galavanted along the beach. Staying at Greyfield Inn isn't a typical luxury hotel experience; it's more like being a welcomed guest in a grand, historic family home, where your host has an extraordinary attention to detail. Fresh flowers and a handwritten card await you in your room upon your arrival, along with a copy of the Inn's daily meal schedule and a map of the island. A card bearing the day's forecast, including the speed of the current, winds, etc., is slipped under your door each morning while you're at breakfast. There is no front desk; if you require assistance, you need only wander downstairs to the kitchen and ask any available staff member. Speaking of the kitchen, it is open to guests 24-7; you are always free to help yourself to an assortment of delicious beverages and snacks, including homemade cookies (the flavor changes every day). We loved not having any Wi-Fi or TV; it forced us to completely unplug, slow down, and truly focus on each other. From riding the complimentary beach cruisers down live oak-canopied paths, to walking the beach and seeing no other humans for miles and miles, to lazing about on the Inn's extraordinarily comfortable front porch swings, we treasured every moment. We took advantage of the Inn's many tour offerings, including historic tours of the Dungenness Ruins and Plum Orchard estate, as well as a naturalist-led tour of the beach and an early morning birding tour through the marshland. Our guides, Christina and Nina, were both knowledgeable and engaging, sharing fascinating facts about Cumberland Island's rich history and even richer biodiversity. The culinary experience was definitely a highlight. From the charming picnic lunches packed for our daytime adventures to the exquisite, garden-to-table communal dinners, every meal was phenomenal. The food was often simple, but perfectly executed. We appreciated the requirement that everyone dress up for dinner, and every day we looked forward to socializing with new friends during the evening cocktail hour, munching on delicious hors d'oeuvres in the drawing room and sipping ice-cold martinis on the front porch. A word of caution to high-maintenance guests (or those who insist on modern luxuries): you might find some aspects of Greyfield less than ideal (though we found them charming). As my fiance said, sometimes it feels like "camping for fancy rich people." The plumbing, for instance, is quite old-fashioned, and it was virtually impossible to take a hot shower with adequate water pressure in our bathroom (we stayed in the Library Suite, which we adored). However, the Inn offers an excellent outdoor shower, which we thought added to the rustic charm of the experience. The warmth and attentiveness of Greyfield's staff was unmatched. A special shout-out to Hayley, who took some very special photos of my fiance and I (and who went out of her way to shoot us in multiple spots and from multiple angles!). We cannot thank the folks at Greyfield Inn enough for making our trip so magical. We are already dreaming of our next trip back, and are even considering trying to book the Inn for our wedding!

We stayed at the Inn, April 2-5,2026. The history and island beauty are incredible. The tour leader…read moreis quite knowledgeable and accommodating. The Inn, not so much. For the cost, do not expect the staff to go above and beyond at all. They stand around in the kitchen and must be sought out for assistance, never proactive. It's a very serve yourself type of atmosphere .The porch area is rarely attended to and dirt, with the interior furniture is ripped, tattered and worn. The food is nothing special and you are herded out of the communal eating area when time is up. You are your own bartender, as there is no one to offer you a drink. The service is subpar at best and there is very little attention to detail. There were older folks who couldn't bike and climb the dunes to get to the beach and they would not drive these people in the truck to the beach, which would be a nice option to accommodate those who need help to enjoy the island. I am glad I went, but not worth the cost they charge. nothing special, IMO.

I emailed Personal Cuisine to see what to do and I heard back almost instantly and they took care of things right away. We arrived at the start time but the food was running a little behind and Chef Alex was very apologetic. Totally unnecessary because we were happy to go get a table and our beverages first. They were up and running just 15 minutes behind schedule. The food was terrific and worth a wait! Our party of 6 couldn't agree on which was the best (pig, brisket, or chicken). I guess when it's all good, it's hard to pick a winner. The potato salad was great, too. I have a gluten allergy and Alex knew immediately what was and wasn't safe for me. And I had plenty to eat! In addition, it was a fundraiser for a local family.

We really liked staying here. Our room was very nice & clean. The bed was super comfortable. We had…read morea room on the opposite side as the ocean, which is fine by me because we had a great sunset from our room. The staff was very very nice! We even got there after their happy hour ended by a half hour, and without even asking, the front desk girl offered to get us a glass of wine, which we did do. And in contrast to another review, the red wine was good. Not top of the line, but definitely not gross. It was your average house wine from any upscale restaurant. The location was perfect for us. On the beach, easy access. They had beach chairs and umbrellas and beach towels if needed. The views from their deck are stellar. They also had enough parking. Also, there is an elevator from the parking area, so getting luggage to room is easy. Here's the only issue I had. When you book on their website, it clearly states what's included in your stay with your room. A few things listed are: breakfast, beach chairs/umbrellas, towels. HOWEVER, when I went to checkout and pay online, there is an 'AMENITY' fee! They describe this as a fee for the beach chairs and towels, etc. Please don't tell me it's included with the rental of my room, and then charge me for it at checkout. It now becomes NOT INCLUDED and I am in fact paying for it extra! I was really going between the 3 star review & the 4. I do not appreciate being deceived. I had spent a lot of time looking at where we wanted to stay, so at that point, I just went through with it and paid. Also, the only other confusing thing, is that I thought they had provided bfast there. They do have coffee (really good coffee btw). They also had pastries at bfast that they get from a local bakery. My husband had an apple danish type thing and he really enjoyed it. But they offer us a $30 voucher to one of two places in town for bfast. We chose the garden cafe. It was good. But of course you spend more than the $30 for basic bfast, oj & coffee. Would I go back? Most likely yes. Would I recommend to family & friends? Yes
