Lovely location; very picturesque setting. Delicious breakfast. Debi was a very friendly host. I wish I had returned here for the last few days of my stay on St. Simons Island, instead of the other place I went to. If I come back, I will spend more time at Grey Owl. The elevator was a wonderful convenience; we did not have to tote our bags up and down the stairs.

Parking was good. Breakfast was good. The property manager was great. The bad was the building is old. Capet need to be replaced. Shower needs to be updated Rainfall shower head that’s not in use needs to be removed since it had some gross looking mold growing on it. The outside area needed cleaning. We tried to sit outside to enjoy a drink but couldn’t because the table in the gazebo was oily and dirt was stuck to it. Bench seat was too dirty to sit on. It was way over priced for what you got. Only worth about half of what we paid. It wasn’t aweful but I wouldn’t recommend this place.

Cozy, Serene Gem on SSI
The Grey Owl Inn is adorable and such a cute, unique spot on SSI! We loved our room - Frog Hollow - and the bed was so comfortable. The property itself is gorgeous and serene. The Innkeeper, Debi, was helpful and kind. Plus, she made us a delicious breakfast with good coffee. We highly recommend the Grey Owl Inn for anyone looking to relax and rejuvenate!

A+ Property and Location
My wife and I were so fortunate to find the Grey Owl Inn during our visit to St. Simons Island. The property was beautiful, the room incredibly clean, check-in and out were an absolute breeze and the breakfast, perfect. Debbie, the Innkeeper, was southern hospitality at its' finest, and we were surprised to receive a visit from Bill, the Inn's owner, while having some wine and cheese one beautiful afternoon under the gazebo. He shared a bit of the property history, including the renovations he oversaw after acquiring the house and property. Of and when we return to St Simons, we will DEFINITELY be staying again at the Grey Owl.

This inn is beautiful. We were lucky to have checked in just as the owner was also entering the property. He gave us a tour and history of the inn. Loved the personal attention. The room, Frog Hollow, was also very nice and clean. However, the bathroom is very small, maybe even smaller than on a cruise ship. Also, I was very excited to sit in the screened in porch to enjoy my morning coffee, but this room has the porch facing all the air conditioners so the noise was a drawback. Breakfast was wonderful. Location is also good. We were able to walk to the WWII museum, the beach, and several dinner places. Look for Southern Soul BBQ and Fiddlers, they are close by and wonderful. All in all I would stay here again, but pick a different room.

Great place to stay in St. Simmons!
This was a last minute decision to get away for the weekend. We enjoy the St. Simmons area and found the Grey Owl Inn while searching for available places to stay. We really enjoyed our stay at the Inn. Our room was Frog Hollow. Bed was comfortable, private bathroom with essentials provided. Breakfast was amazing!! We ate in the cute little sunroom! We'll definitely stay again!

Smoking in rooms
It’s a beautiful place but during our stay someone decided to smoke marihuana in their rooms. The hallway and our room smelled like skunk. Smoking (no matter what) should be done outside, since the hotel have a non smoking rule. We had to asked for candles and bought one ourselves, to try to be able to breathe comfortably. I was very disappointed. New mattress was needed in the room, same as softer pillows. Breakfast was wonderful and perfect service. In general the place is lovely, if only everyone will follow the regulations. Someone felt entitled to break it.

Such a beautiful spot to just relax. Indoor and outdoor spaces were very well maintained. In room temperature control with fan was fantastic! Location was perfect for immediate access to almost anywhere on island. 3 minutes to beach. Was not able to eat breakfast offered at 9:00. am due to prior business commitments. Much nicer than over priced hotels!
