After the flight, the drive, the ferry, and a bouncy jeep ride on sandy paths, the hectic pace of your journey screeches to a halt. \u00a0There are no crowds, no traffic noise, and wild horses graze at leisure as the sun goes down through Spanish moss. \u00a0Welcome to Cumberland Island.<\/p>\n

Accommodations at the Greyfield Inn are steeped in history. \u00a0You sit and sleep on family heirlooms, & eat authentic seasonal cuisine prepared by staff who sleep in cottages on the grounds, tend the Inn’s gardens and get to live on the island as a perk of the job. \u00a0If you want to get an idea\u00a0life at a southern manor house, with 12 rooms and family style meals\u00a0at a set time, in formal attire, this might be pretty darn close.<\/p>\n

Sunset was lovely, and yes that is a real life air plant. \u00a0They’re everywhere. \u00a0Someone from Anthro or West Elm must have come here with a big suitcase…<\/p>\n

Instead of waiting for what I’m sure was a sumptuous, lots of courses breakfast, the next morning we filled a water bottle with coffee and headed on a hike to explore the undeveloped, maritime beach!<\/p>\n

This whole island feels like a dream world. \u00a0The moss, the ruins of a Rockefeller mansion, the wild horses, the seclusion… \u00a0Our hotel is the only\u00a0place to stay, and there is no transportation other than bikes and a jeep for the hotel. \u00a0Once\u00a0we ventured away from Greenfield Inn, we didn’t see anyone else on the sandy paths except the occasional wild pig and one armadillo. \u00a0From the sound they made, crashing toward us through the underbrush, I expected an elephant (and freaked out accordingly)! \u00a0The National Parks service has allowed owner of the few existing homes to remain, but there aren’t many residents since the park is only accessible by boat, and supplies\/food would have to be brought from the mainland. \u00a0So peaceful, we\u00a0did’t want\u00a0to leave.<\/p>\n

The Inn thinks of everything, and a lot of guests don’t leave it (think pink pants suits and heels, full khaki suits, straw hats and bowties). \u00a0We felt a tad out of place, sweating it up in nature, but didn’t mind\u00a0these perfect rocking chairs on the porch,\u00a0and a\u00a0sweet tea when we got back. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
