Cumberland Island was the 19th century retreat of Thomas and Lucy Carnegie who, in 1900, built Greyfield for their daughter, Margaret Ricketson. Converted to an inn during 1962 by her daughter, Lucy R. Ferguson, and family – who oversee the daily operation – Greyfield Inn exudes the welcoming atmosphere and charm of a family home.Greyfield Inn provides early morning birding and wildlife watching tours on Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday mornings.  These outings last about an hour and a half and our guests will be back in time for a scrumptious breakfast.  Also, anytime, private or specialty tours for families, birders, or photographers can be arranged ahead of time thru Greyfield Inn.
