"Whoo" should stay at the Grey Owl Inn
One of the best B&B's we've ever stayed in. It certainly lived up to it's website and delivered everything it promised. The setting was particularly lovely with the pond and beautiful old trees, and the owner was gracious and helpful without being intrusive. We look forward to going back!

Beautiful St. Simmons Island
I loved the property with its fountain pond and lush landscaping. It is within walking distance to the beaches and some very nice eateries. My room was themed about Dr. Albert Schweitzer and the safari camp where HRM Elizabeth II was staying when she inherited the throne upon her father's passing. The whole property is just filled with such details from books to gardens. And the breakfast in the sun room overlooking the garden was delicious and so relaxing (soothing if you will). Staff was awesome and helpful in finding things to see locally.

A nice inn with comfortable rooms
The room was spacious, bright, and comfortable. We were surprised when the bed was not made or towels replaced, as we were not advised that the management did not service the rooms at all during our stay. We did request more coffee, and it was left outside the room for us. The breakfasts were delicious, hot, and made to order. The inn is centrally located, and it was easy to get to attractions and the beach. We would definitely stay here again if in the area.

The Grey Owl Inn is a retreat within a retreat. The setting is lovely, the rooms are whimsically decorated, and it is located conveniently to all the local sights.
