This little slice of heaven was absolutely wonderful for an anniversary getaway. We stayed in a cabin and it was beautiful, private, and so relaxing. The place was as beautiful as the website portrays. The sheets and pillows were incredible and the views from the hot tub were truly magical. Due to covid, they offered breakfast delivered to the room. The food was tasty and the staff made sure to add little touches, like quotes of the day and adorable mason jars you could purchase if you wanted. The cabins were extremely clean and the staff was stellar. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting a relaxing getaway with a special someone.
First stay EVER at a bed & breakfast. Expectations after booking: great service, hospitality. Photos were absent and because it was in the middle of nowhere, it might or might not be the cleanest.This place definitively deserves 5-stars for a couple reasons: the hospitality / service / staff and cleanliness. I was totally blown away by the amount of detail and care the staff take to ensure that you are taken care to the best of their ability.Ice cream and wine hour every single night (with ice cream at 9 PM, wine and cheese hour in the evening, forget what hour, estimating around 7) with room cleanings taking place around 10 AM - 2 PM. The staff is extremely attentive and friendly.One night we did not know where to go to eat and the staff spent a couple minutes chatting about a few places and the atmosphere and type of food that each restaurant serves. Ultimately we eventually decided on a place in Charlottesville (which was about 30 minutes away) but the attentiveness of the staff left a lasting impression on me.Breakfast is served between 8-9 AM and they always have a cookie jar and coffee/tea available. Try the cookies...they are amazingly chewy and I definitely had a couple too many while I stayed here.Overall, my stay here was one of the highlights of my trip. I was here for hiking and a relaxing weekend and the staff definitely exceeded my expectations. You will not regret staying here.
We had an incredible weekend at the Iris Inn! We arrived to our private cabin and truly enjoyed every part of out experience there. It felt like we were in a tree house. We enjoyed all the perks the cabin had to offer, from the hot tub to our morning breakfasts for two delivered right to our door, and movies by the fire. As an added bonus we also enjoyed the cake for two and the Charcuterie snack pack, that we took with us on our hike at St Marys Falls. The sheets on the bed were so lovely we actually ordered a set for home! Our last evening we walked up to the main building and enjoyed a glass of wine together in the tower. It was truly a rejuvenating and memorable experience that we will always treasure. Highly recommended! 5 Stars. I hope to return again.
My daughters and I were looking for an alternative vacation since our earlier vacation plans had to be cancelled. Iris Inn offered the perfect getaway! The scenery is breathtaking! Take Me Home Country Roads was on replay in our heads as we looked over the beautiful Shenandoah Valley everyday. Our cottages were beautifully decorated. Very cozy. I loved the idea of breakfast in a basket delivered to our rooms every morning. The meal was very generous and delicious! Check in was easy with the keypad entry. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Its nestled in the wooded mountains and seems so secluded but its very close to shops, wineries, breweries, hiking trails, and restaurants. I wish I could have stayed longer. I will definitely be back again. I will highly recommend Iris Inn to friends and family. Thank you Iris Inn!
Great stay at the Iris Inn. Staff was friendly and helpful. Bed was very comfortable, nice bathrooms. Having a mini kitchen is great for keeping snacks.Only complaint is that there is considerable road noise from any of the porches. Highway 64 is a few hundred feet. Can’t hear it when you’re inside, though!Very close to many restaurant options and stores on exit 94. Everything is less than 2 miles from the Inn.
PERFECT is the word we chose to describe our stay at The Iris Inn. Impeccable service, safety from the check-in process to our check out day. We look forward to returning & once again create, beautiful memories at this gorgeous, relaxing, exceptional Inn.
Had a wonderful 4 day stay here ! Upon arriving we were greeted by a sweet woman offering help and answered all of our questions . Walking to our cabin you could see the beautiful mountains and gorgeous landscaping . Opened the door to the fire place on, was so cozy and inviting . Our 10 month old was so excited to be there, it was adorable ! She was squealing and walking around looking at everything, she loved the view from the windows as well . We went out to the screened in porch to be greeted by a bear about 10-12 feet away ! So crazy, only saw Yogi that one time .. I loved the bathroom, first time experiencing heated floors and my feet have definitely been missing out on that glorious feeling . I think to really complete the experience you should have heated toilet seats . Can you imagine that ?! The toiletries they supplied were lovely, I love the smell of lemongrass and it was very lemongrassy and fresh . Their face soap made my face feel and look better actually .Their shampoo and conditioner made my hair feel so soft and hydrated without being greasy . The kitchen was fully stocked with dishes and cookware . Side note .. order their cookies, they were lightly crisp On the outside and soft in the center ️ Breakfast each morning was amazing, I meant to ask someone if I could have their recipe for the oatmeal, sounds like an odd request, but it was the best oatmeal parfait thing I’ve ever had . TheY offered a nice selection for breakfast each morning, just had to get the order in the previous evening . We checked out local antique shops . Was not disappointed with the antique factory .. you don’t even want to know how many hours we spent there, found some good treasures . We set up our baby’s pack in play across the room . It worked out perfectly, she was just as Excited to be there as we were. We toured the grand caverns as well, first time seeing caves and we were amazed, def check that out if you haven’t . Loved it here, sad we are leaving :/ told my husband we need to make this a tradition of going here, he agreed . Will definitely be back . The only thing about the whole stay that wasn’t my favorite was the bed .. it felt like you were sinking in the middle, didn’t have as much support as I would like .. also think we should book for cabin 4 that one seemed to have the best view . But all in all would definitely recommend to family and go again . So peaceful and nice change of pace
Everything at the Iris Inn was done to perfection. They thought of everything thing ... large and small ... that would make our visit great. The food was delicious, the room and grounds immaculate and service great. We will make this place a regular in our traveling spots.
My husband and I are very pleased with our cabin experience at the Iris Inn. It’s definitely one of Virginia’s hidden gems. We didn’t even have to check in at the customer service desk, we used a security code to enter our cabin when we arrived. The cabins are beautiful. And the view is amazing. Love the screened in hot tub! This was the perfect getaway to celebrate our anniversary. Just remember to order your breakfast in bed delivery by 6:00 pm. We almost missed it!
Went a while ago and stayed in one of the private cabins. It was an absolutely beautiful and magical experience, we would really love to book again - But their prices have been raised so much that they have made it absolutely inaccessible. I understand needing to have the money to do renovations but $600/night for a WEEKNIGHT is absolutely astronomical and uncalled for. The renovations have taken away all of the country charm. I am so so so sad, but I will not be visiting again. Clearly the new owner only has money on the mind.
Weve stayed here multiple times and it is our dream vacation away from the city. The service is amazing and the cabins are luxurious and peaceful. We cant wait to visit again soon!
The garden path cottage was the cleanest one we have ever stayed at. The breakfast is delicious. The setting is dreamy. Absolutely wonderful.
The views were beautiful! We never had to leave our cabin. Breakfast was delivered hot and delicious every morning. The cabin was beautiful modern and upscale.
This trip was mountain getaway for my wife and myself and the iris inn did not disappoint. The cabins at this bed and breakfast have all that you need and go even further. The screened in porch with jacuzzi overlooks a stunning view of the mountains. The cabin itself has a modern feel (unlike a typical log cabin). The bathroom has heated floors to help keep you warm when you get out of the shower. The shower has a rainfall shower head. The staff at the inn are so friendly and will accommodate most requests. The complimentary breakfast is a must have... seriously. They cook a full breakfast menu each morning and do an excellent job! I give the iris inn an A+, well be back!!
My husband and I stayed at the Iris Inn for two nights which was not enough. We stayed in the Cabins which was a perfect combination of cozy and romantic. They did not spare expense with our own private jacuzzi on the screened in deck, heated floors in the bathroom along with a rain shower, a gas fireplace and kitchen. The Inn Keeper is as sweet as pie and the food was amazing. I can not wait to go again!
This place was serene, beautiful and just what the wife and I needed. We had cabin 1 at the end and it was perfect, quiet and had all the amenities including a heated floor in the bathroom. The staff and breakfast were also great. They were extremely personable and and always provides any information you need.If you go there make sure to check out the Crabtree falls. Its about a 50 minute drive and 1.7 miles to the top but it is beautiful.Have fun and enjoy this place. Its worth it.
Nice, clean cabins. Great for couples get-away. VERY friendly and helpful staff! Very good breakfast with a lot of choices and good food! They think of the little things (like an umbrella at your door when you leave for breakfast on a rainy day. Highly recommend and would plan to stay again.
The place is out of this world! Most of the rooms have a spectacular view of the Shenandoah Valley. Breakfast was delicious every morning, and all of the employees were incredibly friendly. Its a little expensive, but I hope my wife and I can go back sometime soon
Great room (We stayed in a Cabin) and great service (very polite). We would definitely stay again!
Amazing option for those looking to stay socially distant but disconnect from their screens.
The beauty of this hidden gem is in the details. The inn keepers and their staff put careful consideration into even the smallest of gestures to make their guests stay memorable. My husband and I felt truly loved an appreciated. On one particularly rainy day, we woke to find an umbrella perched outside our door to ensure our brief walk to breakfast was a dry one. Every staff member we encountered was quick to anticipate our needs and offered multiple recommendations for local food and activities that took our weekend experience to the next level. The Iris Inn is a must stay for anybody visiting the Shenandoah Valley!
My husband brought me here for our 15th Anniversary, and it was AMAZING! We were impressed with the cabin, the customer service, and the area. As soon as you walk in, the cabin is PHENOMENAL. Its very private, luxurious, and clean. They put a little treat in the fridge for us too. The cabins are all separate, but there is a nice paved walkway to walk on. We had breakfast in the main area, and it was so good. Just wish they served soda, but we still enjoyed it. The fireplace was perfect since it was cold when we stayed. Waynesboro is a cute little town. We caught a movie, and there are a lot of places to eat at. BEST ANNIVERSARY EVER! We will be back next year! Thank you.
Excellent views, clean rooms, great service! Easiest interstate access you could hope for... Highly recommended. Their much appreciated Tesla destination charging is a factor for more and more of us Tesla owners.
Couldn’t have asked for a better B&B to spend a long weekend getaway with my girlfriend at. Every review I read before choosing the Iris Inn was spot on, beautiful historic location, top notch luxurious rooms, delicious food, nice and friendly staff, and so many activities in the local area to do during the day! Would highly recommend to anyone looking to get away for a few days with their special someone, am already looking forward to my next visit back!
My wife and I stayed in a cabin at the Iris Inn after our wedding. Take it from us that a stay here is a must for any newlywed couple, especially if youre getting married in the area. There is no better place in the valley to come down off of the wedding day adrenaline rush and recover from all the stress from your big day. The views from the cabin porch, or the lodge porches, are the most relaxing and breathtaking in the region. Alex, the General Manager, is the most passionate man in hospitality that you could meet. He goes above and beyond to accommodate the guests, loves serving couples wholeheartedly, and genuinely cares about the quality of your experience at the Iris Inn. That passion is reflected in the entire team, whom Alex loved to introduce to us (we met pretty much all of them). I dropped off some room decorations and a cooler of items early. Not only did the items make it into the room, but the team did decorating for us and even unloaded the cooler into the fridge. We had wine and cheese waiting for us, too. The experience was nothing short of royal. The cabin and lodge are impeccably clean, the food is delicious, and nothing beats sitting on the porch or in the hot tub experiencing the mountains. The Iris Inn is a must-stay both for wedding couples and anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.
Great rooms and good chef
We stayed here for a weekend getaway and it was amazing! We stayed in a cabin which was so nice because we had our own private hot tub on the deck! The cabin was cozy and we had a full kitchen. We scheduled the horseback riding and picnic lunch through the Inn and the horseback riding was so much fun. The breakfast we had every morning was delicious and everyone that worked there was so friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back again! Highly recommend!!
The staff are friendly and very helpful. The breakfasts were amazing. Our room was very cozy and made us feel pampered. It is also convienently located for quick trips to Staunton and Waynesboro as well as the Blue Ridge mountains.
Second time staying at the Iris Inn, I could have sworn that I reviewed it the first time. Absolutely Fantastic!!! We have stayed in Cabin 1 and 5 so far. Each one is great. The reception is fantastic, the service is top notch.
The hospitality is great. The happy hour every evening is a delight. The room is as good or better than advertised. The breakfast is wonderful. The owner and staff go it if their way to make sure you enjoy your stay. Will definitely come back!
500.00 a night. Well, I decided to drive here to see this AMAZING Inn.The photos are very misleading. I took some of my own. See for yourself.I have stayed at grand Estates that were costly. This is definitely NOT worth the prices charged. Save your money and don’t be disappointed.Please take note I never booked. I decided to save my self being outraged by how misleading everything is.
We loved several of the staff - Anita & LettyHowever, the Pinee Room sucked - the shower backed up, the pillows were deplorable, the mattress was a disaster, it was too small for 2 people & lacked basic amenities (I.e., enough chairs) & the view isnt that great!!Also, other than the staff mentioned above, some of the others are a little snooty.Last, if youre going to adopt a cat give the damn thing a place to sleep when its 11 degrees out!For the price, the value just isnt thereWe hear its just been purchased so maybe they will optimize it...
The cabin we stayed was nice and view breathtaking great time and food delicious
My boyfriend and I stayed here for a night to get away. We planned to go on a hike about an hour and a half away all day. After the hike, we went to the inn to check in and were welcomed with wine hour, and friendly hosts. They got us in our room right away which was a sight for tired eyes and legs. The shower pressure was great, the linens were squeaky clean, and the bed was comfortable and clean. Our room looked out into the Shenandoah valley and had access to the porch where there were porch swings. Each time we went outside an adorable cat greeted us and enjoyed some petting time. The breakfast was delicious to round out the stay. Overall my boyfriend and I were extremely satisfied and would love to come back on another hiking trip!
Me and the wife went for our Anniversary and this was our first B&B and it was a wonderful relaxing experience. We stayed in the cabin which was wonderful looking forward to returning.
Everything about the Iris Inn is wonderful! The cabins are amazing, with beautiful views. We will definitely be back
I can not say enough great things about the cabin we stayed in. I think Iris offers several different options from lodge, cottages or cabins. But the cabins have everything for a romantic getaway. From Hot tub on deck, the view, fireplace, heated floor in bathroom, recliners in front of fireplace and many more. Great service on top of that.
We stayed at this B&B for one night in the Bird Room, which is part of the main building. The hospitality, cleanliness and overall property was wonderful with two exceptions. We were pleasantly greeted as we entered and were given a brief overview of the property. Later we were assisted with eateries and points of interest. My girlfriend loved this property and was already talking about coming back within the first hour. The room was spacious, clean, view of the woods, sounds of birds, has a comfortable king bed and great shower with enough pressure to operate both showerhead and handheld at the same time. The main room has high ceilings, enough nature light, fireplace and a loft library. All of the staff was very friendly. The breakfast was satisfying, but had hoped for something unique or gourmet. The reason why we will most likely search for another place is due to our departing experience. We left an unopened bottle of wine in the refrigerator and didnt realize it until after we went on a hike up to Humpback Rocks (highly recommend for the view) and headed to the airport. Since we were 20 minutes past the Iris Inn, we called to ensure it was still there and let them know we were heading back. We were informed that it was in the office, however when my girlfriend went to pick up the wine, they told her they didnt have it and would have to check with the cleaning person. After she came back to our vehicle without the wine, I went in and was told they found it in the garbage. My expectation is that the B&B would have immediately notified their guest when they find a left item as they have the guest contact information. Also it is difficult to believe that a B&B that offers wine tastings would throw out a unopened bottle of wine (integrity concern). The other minor disappointment was that we has to clean the wine glasses in the room as they had grit and lip marks. Great place, but room for improvement.
This is a beautiful bed and breakfast! I would absolutely recommend it and stay here again. We stayed in the Woodland room, and it was lovely. Everyone is so nice. They were even able to make me gluten free pancakes and french toast because I have Celiac Disease. It was amazing!
My husband surprised me with a weekend getaway to the Iris Inn B&B and it was amazing!! We stayed in cabin 5 which had a fantastic view and so comfortable. I loved the privacy with a hot tub on the screened in porch. The owners (Dave and Heidi) were so welcoming and helpful with anything we needed. Also, the breakfast was superb! Will definitely be back!
I cant say enough good things about this place. Enjoyed a very relaxing stay at the Iris Inn. The staff were very accommodating and kind. Breakfast was amazing, evening wine and cheese, and ice cream every night at 9:00. Breathtaking views and plenty of outdoor activity to partake in (vineyards, kayaking, horseback riding, orchards, etc). Would definitely come back again.
Very nice accommodations and very friendly and caring staff. Cabin was excellent and extremely clean, like new. Wine tasting was a great extre...no charge...and the hosts were entertaining and engaging. Breakfast was excellent and prepared flawlessly. Only bad thing ..was the weather!!! We did see the sun on the day we departed...and the view we missed!! Great place....hope to return one day. Mike and Debbie Dennis
We received a gift certificate from our friend for the Iris Inn and stayed in Cabin 5 this past weekend. It was absolutely incredible. From the warm greetings, the stellar accommodations, and the delicious breakfasts, we were so fortunate to stay at the Iris Inn! We immediately felt welcome and right at home, so much so that we felt like we knew Dave and Heidi for longer than a weekend. There was such attention to detail and the views were my absolutely favorite - you couldnt beat sipping wine, on the back deck, from the hot tub, all while watching the beautiful sunset! We had neighbors but couldnt see or hear anyone, and the location is convenient to many great wineries (recommend Stable Craft Brewing), restaurants (recommend The Green Leaf), and attractions (recommend renting golf cart at Frontier Cultural Museum if waiting for wineries/breweries to open). We had a lot of fun at the Inn, including at the complimentary happy hour with wine and beer. It was just a perfect weekend getaway! Thanks again, Heidi and Dave! Will definitely return :)
My fiancé and I had an amazing time at the Iris Inn this past weekend. It was the perfect place to stay after proposing in the Shenandoah mountains in afternoon. The staff couldnt have been more friendly and accommodating. The views are spectacular. We stayed in the Garden Path cabin and loved it. We cant wait to get back and explore more in that area.
My wife and I stayed in the Garden Path lodge for 3 nights. The room was very comfortable and clean. The staff was excellent and the food was delicious. I would highly recommend staying here for a nice getaway in the mountains.
Great!
Absolutely gorgeous location and the views are spectacular. We were blessed by family in providing us a complementary night stay and were wowed at almost every facet of the inn. It has been about a year since our stay and when discussing the inn with folks we know, those that have stayed here agree that it is a gem of the Shenandoah Valley. Even though we live only a few minutes away in Augusta County, we will be back again soon!
Our weekend at the Iris Inn exceeded all expectations. As others have said it stays booked, but it is small enough and private enough that you feel like youre the only people there. We stayed in the Wildflower Room, with a beautiful view of the valley - and a porch and swing I could have sat on forever. The main building is so cozy with a fireplace, library, board games, small dining area and bar for the nightly wine/beer/cider hour where we sat and chatted with a few other couples staying the weekend. Every member of the staff was kind and attentive (including the adorable Inn cat that came to hang out with us) and more than willing to help with anything you need. It was the perfect getaway, and we will certainly be back!
Amazing experience! The room was extremely nice, with an nice blend of modern and rustic feel. Huge luxurious bathroom, heated floors, fireplace, king size bed, kitchen with pots, pans, plates, etc. Rooms have great views! The staff is extremely nice and accommodating. Breakfast was included, as was wine, beer, and cider in the evening. The food is homemade (tastes like my grandmothers food!) and many of the ingredients are locally sourced. We stayed over Christmas, and since the staff would not be there, they made breakfast on Christmas Eve and delivered it to us that evening so we would have breakfast on Christmas! This is definitely a new getaway spot for me. Honestly the best place I have ever stayed. I look forward to returning in the future.
An excellent place to stay to get away and relax. Our cabin was cozy and pristine. The innkeepers covered every little detail throughout our stay including drinks in the evening, breakfast, and even an umbrella waiting for us on a rainy morning. It was a very pleasant stay and we look forward to another visit.
The inn is beautiful and the decor is exquisite. The staff was very attentive and hung on our every word; they were so courteous. What I had issue with is no tub (just a large stand-up shower, which was a wonderful shower), the bed was quite firm and was not accommodating for a side sleeper, and the pillows flattened to zero head/neck support. Would I suggest to others? Yes, but sleep on your back and ask for extra pillows.
My better half and I stayed in one of the cabins for a long weekend. The cabin was clean, private, well laid out, and had a cozy warm feel. The breakfast was great and the staff extremely friendly. The only gripe that we had is the fact that we should have stayed longer.
We travel by Motorcycle and primarily stay at non chain locations. The iris Inn is a perfect example of why we love doing this! The Staff, from the young lady that checked us in to the young lady volunteering microfiber towels to wipe down the motorcycle in the morning to Dave the friendly innkeeper was incredible. The accommodations themselves may just be the nicest place that we have ever stayed!
The accommodations were awesome! Loved the view from the cabin and the hot tub was amazing!! Will definitely be staying here again.Side note: Waynesboro is a nice, small town. If you go, you may be spending most of your time driving to attractions in Charlottesville or other places. Waynesboro does not have much going on, so plan accordingly.
I rented a cabin for a few days and nights as a surprise for my husbands birthday and it was PERFECT. The private check in and out was so convenient, the privacy itself was amazing, the cabin was clean and well maintained! This was the perfect getaway and well worth the cost! We will most definitely be back!
Amazing!
Iris Inn was beautiful and provided my husband and I a wonderful and relaxing couple of days. The cabins were beautiful and clean! The staff were exceptional and provided a great experience. Highly recommend.
Thank you to Dave, Heidi, Macy, and the rest of the staff for making our stay very pleasant. Everyone was extremely accommodating and the food options at breakfast were delicious. The cabin that my wife and I stayed in was clean, nicely furnished, and spacious. The one minor downside was the noticeable traffic noise coming from I-64, but aside from that the Iris Inn is highly recommended.
Absolutely amazing. Anyone who is getting married in Virginia, must spend honeymoon night at Iris Inn. I strongly recommend to spend anniversary night or any special occasion at Iris Inn. CABIN is the preferred place to stay. Very thoughtfully and well equipped cabins. Heidi is very welcoming person. Would love to come back!
We were welcomed by Dave, Heidi and Katie (border collie) into a living space that was both elegant and comfortable. The food was excellent and the hospitality was outstanding. We loved the wrap around porches. The rooms were very much over-sized and well appointed. The beds were beyond comfortable - we didnt want to get up. The evening meet and greet with other guests was a special touch and they served excellent wines (no additional cost to the guests). They genuinely love what they do and it shows. We enjoyed our stay so much, we booked a return stay!
Wonderful hospitality and delicious breakfast! We will be back!
Such an amazing and romantic getaway! My husband and I stayed in a cabin and loved it! We stayed in cabin #2... the back deck faces the woods which made it feel more private. The bed was SO comfortable and the fireplace was perfect for the cold nights! It was the perfect retreat between holidays and the busyness of life! The staff at the Inn (to include the owners) were so hospitable and welcoming and the food was delicious! We would recommend booking >2 nights to enjoy the cabin and do outings. We are already looking at the calendar to book another stay! Thank you Dave and Heidi for an amazing getaway!
We stayed in the Hawks Nest and it was perfect. The room was spacious and immaculate. The deck with the hot tub was a great bonus and we enjoyed the forest view and privacy. The views from both the front window of the room and the porches on the main building were amazing. The changing colors of the tree made this an excellent place to relish fall. Check-in was easy and managers were helpful and friendly.We highly recommend the inn and will certainly return if we have the opportunity.
We stayed in Cabin 4. Only complaint was that we didnt stay longer! They really thought through every detail and aspect. Loved it already planning our return trip.
I surprised my husband for a weekend getaway, and Dave and Heidi couldnt have been more hospitable. We stayed in cabin #5 with great views, and it was simply PERFECT during the snowfall. We were more than happy to be snowed in for the day with cups of hot cocoa and a warm fire. The main house was warm and inviting, fellow guests very friendly, and breakfast was delicious. It was just what we needed to celebrate and just enjoy a cozy,relaxing weekend. Well be returning, Im sure, and will definitely recommend to our friends!
We stayed at the Iris Inn for a week as home base for hiking and touring up and down the Blue Ridge Mountains. We enjoyed phenominal breakfasts to start each day. They use many local producers for eggs, jams, meats etc... which were fresh and delicious! The Inn Keepers and staff made us instantly feel at home and really helped us make decisions on hikes and touring itineraries. Coffee and tea were available 24/7, wine/beer at 5:30 and ice cream at 9pm. We felt so spoiled! The views from the decks over the western mountain ranges were spectacular. So many nooks with comfy chairs for relaxing, reading, socializing and board games too. We will definitely return!!!
I stayed at the Iris Inn for 4 days in January. Although the weather was chilly, it was a great time. Awesome views from the inn, excellent service and friendly, inviting atmosphere. Friendly staff with lots of recommendations for places to go and things to do. Yummy balanced breakfasts. So much to do in nature and so close to the inn -- walks around the lake, fishing, various mountains to climb, hiking, amazing views from overlooks! And awesome views from the bedrooms and cabins, so you can stay indoors if you like.Enjoyed visit so much. Cannot wait to return :-)!
Spent a wonderful night in their modern contemporary cabins. Dave and Heidi were excellent hosts and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. They made great recommendations for local events and restaurants. The cabins are perfect for that romantic getaway! We will be sharing this well kept secret with all of our friends.
We had a perfect weekend. The cabin was modern and beautiful. Looks just like the picture on the website. Very Clean! Breakfast was amazing! The wine tasting each evening was fantastic! The owners and staff are very nice and helpful. Not your typical B&B - way better!! There were deer right outside our cabin several times. The Sun Set is very nice! So quiet and peaceful. The perfect getaway you feel like your a million miles from the world but so close to wineries, breweries and parks! Lots of them! We walked Hump Rock Mountain....The view was amazing but beware its a hard hike! Stay at the Iris Inn you wont be sorry! I cant wait to go back.
Unlike any other B&Bs in the area.. actually not even close. All amenities were new, staff was extremely nice and would go out of their way for you anytime during your stay. Our private cabin had a hot tub on the deck, which is completely private from the other cabins. Do yourself a favor and give them a try!
The Iris Inn exceeded all of our expectations. The cabins are truly a first class experience. Any amenity we could have needed from a full kitchen, to a grill, to the hot tub, were provided. It does not seem that Dave and Heidi skipped on providing the highest quality when they designed and furnished the cabins. Thank you for a great stay.
Loved everything about this place. The cabins were amazing, beautiful wooded views from private balcony and hottub. Modern amenities, close to several attractions, great staff, and we loved the breakfast. The Inn has a library with an assortment of movies and games you can take you your room, we definitely took advantage of that. Excellent overall! Will definitely go back again
We stayed at Cabin 1 for two nights and really enjoyed it. Room was incredible and very well maintained. The service was excellent and breakfast was great.
I went there to stay New Years Eve with my girlfriend. It was beyond my expectations. It is a great location and had an amazing view. The breakfast was fantastic. I recommend staying a few days, and I regret only staying one night. The staff is very friendly and very helpful. I had no problems at all, but they were full of energy and very willing to assist with anything. If you are looking for a modern bed and breakfast this is the place to go. I shall return again. For those with electric cars, they have a car charging station as well.
Ive stayed at Iris Inn 3 separate times, and had the opportunity to stay in the main house, the cottage, and one of the cabins. By far the cabins are my top choice! Everything is done to perfection with thought given to all the details. The cabins are modern and funky (in a very good way), and even though there may be other cabins yards away, you would never know. Each cabin is its own private escape.
Wonderful environment staff is very friendly rooms are clean and most of all breakfast was the best. Would recommended anyone looking to relax this is the place.
A wonderful experience! The cabins were just perfect, I would live or retire there if I could. There was plenty of room to lounge and relax, a private hot tub, nice shower, and a bathroom with heated floors to mention a few features. The staff were friendly and had plenty of information for things to do and places to eat (let take of helpful handouts to boot). There were even daily wine and beer tasting st 5:30pm with a selection of local goods. Their breakfast is prepared per person and also, if not mainly, comes from local farms. Nearby there is a road with multiple breweries and wineries, including a few with good food (thank you again Blue Mountain Brewery!). I recommend visited ng their site, giving them a call, or looking up things to do in the area as I cant possibly get to them all.Also of special note, my wife and I had an in room couples massage that was incredible! The therapists Robin and Amasa were professional and gave us one of the best massages, couple or not, we have had. We will happily book them on our next visit. The massage, hot tub, and tranquil atmosphere of the area culminated in the perfect romantic escape for my wife and I from the daily stressors of Northern VA. I would recommend this any day to friends or family.
My Husband and I stayed at the Iris Inn for our Mini-moon after we got married in April. It was amazing! We stayed in one of the Cabins and loved it! We had our own hot tub on the enclosed porch and had tons of privacy. The Staff was very welcoming and breakfast was so good! They serve breakfast until 9:30am and it was so worth it to get up early. I have already recommended the Inn to all of my friends. My Husband and I look forward to staying at the Iris Inn again!
Beautiful Inn. Great service
Great accommodations and super staff.
The staff are super friendly and very accommodating. We got the sip and spa package which I caused an in room massage. The therapists were excellent! Our only critique would be to add a fire pit on the second floor balcony so the guests can lounge outside even in winter. Also, add to the spa package bath salts and candles.
We recently spent Memorial Day and evening in one of the lovely Cabins. I wasnt feeling well and they did their best to make us comfortable! We loved the view, the heated floors, the rain shower and the serenity! Thanks for the lovely stay!
We couldnt have been more happy with our stay at the Iris Inn. We were traveling to the area and had booked another B&B. After a friend STRONGLY recommended we stay at Iris Inn, we canceled our other reservation and booked at the Inn. The website with pictures of the stunning views overlooking the Shenandoah Valley was enough to convince us. We arrived to a very warm and friendly welcome from Dave, Heidi and their dog Katie. The views were even more beautiful in-person (we stayed in the Wall Flower room – it was gorgeous!) and each person we met at the Inn was friendly, welcoming and very sweet. Breakfast in the mornings was fantastic (we cleaned our plates every time!) and the wine in the evenings was a nice chance to wind down and meet other guests. We traveled to Charlottesville each day we were there (we had meetings and plans with friends) but the Inn was a very easy drive (a straight shot on 65). We would definitely recommend Iris Inn to any friends and family that are coming to the area. The room we stayed in was spacious, very well-kept, clean and nicely decorated – and had a wonderful west-facing balcony where you could enjoy the mountain air and watch the sun set in the evenings. We were very happy we ended up staying at Iris Inn!!
Excellent inn and experience in every respect! Fantastic, well-appointed cabin, excellent breakfasts and super-helpful/ friendly Asst. Innkeepers. Kerry was helpful and informative from the second we checked-in. Will definitely return, and will reccomend to anyone looking for a quiet and relaxing getaway. Thanks!!
This place stays booked! The food was phenomenal, service was lovely, and the lodging was cozy and modern. They have a great library!
We stayed at the Iris in November of 2012. It was a wonderful visit; our room was spacious and well-kept. There is a beautiful view from the front porch, as well as an inside upstairs lounge. The Iris Inn is located within an easy drive to Charlottesville, and its close to the Blue Ridge Parkway. The innkeepers were very friendly and accommodating-- I look forward to going back!
This was our second stay at the Iris Inn and look forward to returning in the future. Dave and Heidi set the standard when it comes to hospitality and accommodation. We stay in the cabins, and words can not express what a great experience weve had over the last couple of years. The staff are friendly and very much a part of what gives the Iris Inn its character. This is a Must Do location. Do yourself a favor and book a cabin for a few days. Its well worth it.
Wonderful stay. Our first B&B and it felt nice seeing the owners so engaged with their customers. All of the reviews give you a great hint but I strongly suggest visiting in person.
Turns out the bear cottage is under another rentable room. Which means you can hear each others romantic weekend, if you know what I mean. The water line runs right behind the wall behind the bed and you can hear the water run when the upstairs runs water. At 2:30AM I woke up to hearing a door open and I got up thinking it was to our cabin, but it was the upstairs neighbor.On the website they offer chocolate covered strawberries but you need to order those 24 hours before arriving, which isnt listed on the site.The concierge was very nice and knowledgeable about the area. The view from the parking lot and lobby is really good. The kitchen staff were nice and the breakfast came out quick. The pancakes and eggs were very light and fluffy. They offer a wine tasting with cheese.The bear cabin had a steam option in the huge shower that worked as a sauna. They had heated floors in the bathroom and a jacoozi tub. There isnt a fan inside the seperated toilet and tub room.They had complimentary robes to wear and for purchase to take home. WiFi is available for free without sign in. The remote messed up half way through the night and it was a huge pain to fix (pretty sure I still didnt fix it).I want to give it a higher review, but neither of us slept well in the time we wanted to sleep and so we left feeling very tired.Im sure the separated cabins are much nicer and a better choice for someone who doesnt want to feel like they are in an apartment, but I honestly didnt see them as an option. I guess they were all rented out.Overall would I go back, Im not going back but I guess I would try another cabin.
Stayed in the Pine Room. BEAUTIFUL Inn, staff AMAZING, SPECTACULAR views. Enjoyed the complementary breakfast, prepared fresh, just the way we wanted it. Every moment was about us. Already planning our next stay.
I attended a bridal shower here. The location was lovely, the food provided by them was delicious, and the host was wonderful and went above and beyond to make our experience amazing.
We spent two nights at the Iris Inn and really loved our time there.The location was convenient to Staunton and Afton Mountain. The breakfast was very nice and they were very accommodating to any special requests. We stayed in the Deer Room and found it to be cozy and comfortable. Heidi and Dave were very welcoming and friendly during all interactions. We look forward to visiting again!
We stayed here for one of our wedding anniversaries and loved the place. Right off the interstate, theres easy access. Great views of the valley below. Service was great and the accomodations quiet and comfortable.
Great night and great location. A little close to the freeway but still nice
Clean, nice hospitality, nice view off the back. Breakfast was okay, but not as unique as we had hoped for it to be. Needed something sweet to enjoy along with it.
The cabins were immaculate and nicely appointed. Heidi and her staff made our stay relaxing and met our every need. I highly recommend for a romantic getaway or a group trip!
