Great food. Amazing view. Very attentive to detail. The area around the inn is full of great "kept" secrets. The restaurants in the area are also very good. The spa is spectacular. Wonderful place to drive around or stay in.

The experience was wonderful…our every need was met!! The breakfasts were delicious and so much food! The view from the cabins is great. Walked on their wooded trail every morning. We were with family-4 couples and all had an amazing time. The innkeeper, Cathy is so pleasant and accommodating. We have already booked next year.

A great stop over on our trip to Charlottesville. Enjoyed afternoon cocktails in the Inn and great stay in Cabin 1. Newly decorated with modern touch. Hot yub was awesome on a cold winter night. We could even watch the football game from the deck hot tub which was conveniently located just outside the walk in shower. a gas lit fire welcomed us and Door Dash delivered dinner to our door as the dining room was not open. Very comfortable bed and full kitchen. Highly recommend!

Iris Inn is a little known gem in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Very romantic and scenic place. We stayed in the Hawks Nest suite which had a private hot tub. Manager was extremely helpful with area recommendations. Lots of nearby activities including hiking, wineries, and breweries. Short distance to town of Waynesboro for dining options but the Iris Inn dining was excellent especially the room-delivered breakfasts. Would highly recommend.

Avoid Cabin #2-- awful mattress— too soft! This was our third stay in a cabin at the Iris Inn. We loved our previous stays (2019 and prior), but we won't be back. For $650 a night including tax (room only--no breakfast) they should replace mattresses as needed. We both came home with aching sore backs. A second problem was the strong floral smell (maybe air freshener?) in the cabin, which permeated everything we brought with us, including non-washable things like our luggage and my purse. We’ve been home almost a week and our belongings still smell. It’s a shame because there is so much we liked about our stays at the Iris Inn. The cabin and hot tub are spotlessly clean, and the gas fireplace is a nice touch. The full kitchen is extremely convenient. The new

Amy, Thank you for taking the time to offer your comments. We are happy that you enjoyed the staff and property upgrades. We did want to mention that our mattresses are new and are listed in the top 10 of the most comfortable mattresses. We selected a hybrid type which blends the coils for support and memory foam for the pressure relief for joints. We know that mattresses can be very personal but we have tried to create a wonderful sleeping experience and have received rave reviews from our guests. Regarding the scent you smelled in your cabin; we offer a signature scent that is made from all-natural essential oils. Ours is a truly cleansing and revitalizing scent, using serene white tea and healing aloe vera to create an uplifting aroma with a naturally pleasant undertone. We only run the scent machines on the day of arrival for 4 hours prior to check in. Guests have found this to be pleasant, relaxing and memorable. Our intentions are never to offend you with our emails or marketing but have found that our typical guests enjoy having the opportunity to customize their stay by adding breakfast, packages or other enhancements or to choose a lower best available rate if that is their wish. We hope that you will come back and stay with us again and while your experience maybe different from those of the past, it can also be better. We will continue to strive for excellence! Team Iris Inn

This was our third trip to the Iris Inn. I can't explain what it is, but the minute I arrive, I relax. The food is marvelous, the staff so friendly and marvelous to both of us and our beagle, and every care is paid to every detail of your comfort. The spa is amazing, too, although I did not visit on this trip. I have eaten too much, slept enough (finally) and stared out into the magnificent forest for hours. I am relaxed and happy, and I totally enjoyed the new firepits! Can't wait to get back. The Iris Inn is superior in every way to the more expensive Keswick Hall 30 minutes away. Now if they just had a pool, we would never go anywhere else!

Did we mention that we are putting a new deck complete with your own private hot tub on both cottage decks? Be the first to enjoy them as we hope to have them finished by March 2023! We just love having you here with us and Joy is the perfect name for your sweet fur baby. Thank you so much for your review! Team Iris Inn

This was my second stay at the Iris Inn and again I was amazed by each and every part of my stay! From my booking back in January, the staffs attentive response to each and every question I emailed them to everything during my stay! The cabin I stayed in was stunning! Clean and absolutely gorgeous!!! Perfect right down to each and every detail! The staff went above and beyond in every interaction!! If I emailed or called with a need or question, it was responded to immediately with kindness and efficiency!! The meals were equally incredible!!! Cooked to perfection!!! I couldn’t possibly ask for more!!! Hands down, both visits, the most amazing experience and best place I’ve ever stayed!!!!

A wonderful Inn at the top of the hill with a magical view! They have thought of every amenity and take care of their guests with warmth and professionalism. The rooms are lovely and well appointed, with wonderful beds! Dinner at the Inn is also a delight and not to be missed if possible. The Innkeeper and staff go above the call to make their guests happy and well cared for.

My wife and I were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary while we stayed at the Hotel Hershey for 2 nights and then the Iris Inn for 2 nights. We had the absolute best experience at the Iris Inn. The staff and cabin accommodations were first class and even better than the Hotel Hershey. Your dinner service was the best we had during this trip. Better than Zynodoa in Staunton and better than the Hotel Hershey's Circular and Harvest restaurants.

We had a wonderful experience at the Iris inn! Such a lovely hidden gem overlooking the Shenandoah valley with beautiful sunsets and evening fire pit fun! The rooms are clean, modern and beautifully decorated. What a perfect relaxing stay during our week long motorcycle trip with some friends! From the moment we arrived, Kathy made us feel welcome and right at home! She and the rest of the staff were so attentive and accommodating. The bed and breakfast package was such a perfect addition, it made our stay even more enjoyable. I would recommend this to anyone that wants a romantic getaway, or a weekend away with friends or family.
