About The Greystone Inn
The Greystone Inn sits on the water in Lake Toxaway, North Carolina, a historic property (we estimate) with an elegant, lakeside character.
Full-property buyouts are available, and catering is handled in house, so ceremony, dinner and guest accommodation can all stay on site.
The directory lists 18 room configurations, from a Standard Room with 1 King Bed to a Suite, 1 King Bed, Lakeside and Quadruple Rooms with Lake View, with several sleeping up to four guests.
A meeting and banquet space handles the seated portion of the weekend, and we estimate a buyout runs around 25,000 to 55,000 USD depending on season and guest count.

We recently spent three nights at the Greystone Inn and our experience was fantastic! The surroundings were gorgeous and the Inn was truly a five-star experience in a historic building.
