The Nearest Faraway Place: How I Slowed My Roll at The Greyfield Inn on Georgia’s Cumberland Island | Vogue

"On a remote barrier island off the coast of Georgia, this magical inn felt like the intervention I needed: I flew to Jacksonville, synced my arrival with one of the three daily private ferries from nearby Fernandina Beach, then let my mainland worries drift away during the 45-minute crossing. Moments after stepping onto the dock at Cumberland Island, I was wandering an expansive lawn shaded by ancient, gnarled oaks dripping with Spanish moss; wild horses grazed right on the grass, and an armadillo scooted across the long, arced driveway. A friend who escapes here for restorative weekends had told me almost nothing—just to go, go quickly, and go often—and I understood why." - Corey Seymour
