Our stay at Iris Inn was perfect! The owner/manager were so pleasant and helpful before, during, and after our stay. We wanted the privacy of a Airbnb with the perks of a luxury hotel and we felt this was exactly what we got at Iris Inn. We chose Cabin #5 and loved the quiet and privacy the wooded setting provided. The screened in porch and the hot tub area were exactly what we hoped for! We absolutely loved the rocking chairs and the table on the screened porch. (The manager even shared a link for similar ones for our porch at home after we left!) We visited in the summer and found the the trees do block out a lot of the sunset view, but it can easily be seen from one of the Iris Inn's many decks or chairs around the fire pits. Our cabin was immaculately clean. I’m very picky and found the indoor and outdoor spaces to be impeccable. There were so many well thought out features for comfort and utility - plenty of glassware options, bedside reading lamps, dimmable recessed lighting, floor-to-ceiling blinds, heated bathroom floors, exterior sliding door from the hot tub right into the rain shower, super soft linens, remote-controlled heating/air (yes you can change the room temp from bed!) and so many more. We will 100% be back and are already looking at our calendar to try to plan a long weekend this fall. Thanks to everyone at Iris Inn for the wonderful stay!

AMAZING. My wife and I have been fortunate enough to travel many places in-state, in the country, and in the world. Little did I know that ALL of the wonderful places we have visited would be topped by a luxurious quaint property only 30 minutes from our home. To say we have a high bar when it comes to getaways and experiences is an understatement. In absolutely EVERY way our expectations were exceeded during our two day stay in Cabin #6. THE CABIN. A high-end experience. THE DINING. Folks--as good as the cabin was, I was probably most blown away by the dining. 5 course menu was as good as any place you have ever been. Unique but familiar, each dish was prepared and served hot and right after the other (how they did this I do not know!) by our amazing server and innkeeper Cathy. She did an amazing job it is to be noted! Probably a bigger surprise than the dinner was the breakfast. My wife and I decided that the two days of breakfast at the Iris was better than any we had had before. EVER. A fantastic stay and a gem--right in the Shenandoah Valley. We have decided this will be our spot for Anniversaries--we will come back again and again. It is not inexpensive---but offers amazing value if you are looking for a top notch experience and getaway to rival anywhere in the world. Well done Iris Inn!!

This is a place you want to tell everyone about but yet want to keep all to yourself. We celebrated a wedding anniversary with a stay at The Iris Inn. The cabins are beautiful, contemporary, well appointed and functional. The kitchen has everything you could need for light meal preparation. We ordered breakfast that was delivered to our door when we requested. There was so much food we couldn't finish it! The bed / linens were very comfortable. The hot tub on the screened in porch was such a treat and the thoughtful design of having a door into the shower from the hot tub area was appreciated. The heated bathroom floor is a nice touch and even though it wasn't cold it was still wonderful to step on. The staff checked in daily to see if we needed anything. The Iris Inn is a special place and we definitely plan to return.

This is my husbands and I fourth trip to the Iris Inn and we absolutely love it. The atmosphere is relaxing and the views are breathtaking. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. We did the prefixed four and five course dinner at the inn and the food was simply amazing! Kathy, one of the inn keepers is so friendly and even gave us an opportunity to see a breathtaking sun sent during dinner. The rooms in the main inn are gorgeous, clean, and comfortable. The room we stayed in, had a door that lead right out to the deck which overlooks the mountains. We will for sure be visiting again!

A celebratory weekend at Iris Inn is food for the mind, mouth, and spirit. We were celebrating my husband's birthday and were most excited about the proximity to Shenandoah's southern entrance. The service and attention to detail at Iris Inn was simply outstanding. The innkeeper accommodated a last minute request to add their hiking package to our stay, and with the heat this weekend, we needed every one of those treats. Breakfast was filling, varied, and delicious, and happy hour was great to boot. We look forward to coming back someday.

My wife and I rented cabin 4. The view was wonderful and we got our money's worth out of the private hot tub. The cabin felt updated and modern. The hot tub area has a door that leads into the rain shower, which leads to the heated-floor bathroom. The Inn Keeper checked on us often (but not too often) and that added a nice touch. My two tips: (1) spend a sunset at one of the fireplaces behind the cabins (one is wood burning and the other is propane) and (2) order cocktails in the lobby and take the tray they hand you up the staircase on the side of the building to the lookout tower.

We had an amazing weekend at the Iris Inn! The location, the grounds, the room, the scenery, the view of the Shenandoah, the FOOD - everything was as close to perfect as anywhere I've ever been! We didn't want to leave!

My husband and I work in high end property management on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. As a result of providing superior accommodations and customer service, we also expect it when we travel. If you promise five star service, be sure you can deliver. The Iris Inn delivers! We purchased the B&B Experience option for two nights as part of our 20th anniversary celebration, choosing a cabin for privacy and the hot tub. Upon entry, the cabin was sparkling clean and exactly as pictured- very cozy and inviting. Welcome items included a bottle of local wine, local cheese, local chocolates, and both still and sparkling water. Plenty of towels are provided, including towels for the hot tub, as well as comfortable robes. The main inn serves cocktails made with local bourbon. The bed sleeps very well, and the linens are high quality. Breakfast was delivered at exactly the time we chose and was fresh and delicious. A SuitePad makes ordering easy and provides a wealth of other information. While the cabin had many nice features, my favorite was the ability to walk from the hot tub area through a sliding door straight into the shower- no need to traipse and drip through the cabin! The ‘sixth star’ service was revealed on the morning of our scheduled departure, when I awakened to a medical emergency due to a chronic condition. The innkeeper was simply wonderful working through a last minute solution with us, and I cannot thank her enough for her kindness and understanding. The area is beautiful, the view is spectacular, and the Inn and service are top notch. We highly recommend Iris Inn and will be back!

This was our second time staying in a cabin. I absolutely love this inn! My hubbie and I stay at B&Bs often and this is our fav esp in VA! I cannot wait to come back. We stayed over turkey day to have some alone time and loved it. Breakfast is always amazing. Chef makes delicious desserts too! The hot tubs are so nice and private. Romantic cabin and overall the inn is so pretty. I loved fireplace as well. I feel so insanely relaxed here i hate leaving! Ms.Coo Is the inn cat and as animal lovers we get excited to see her too! Staff are always so sweet and accommodating. Book i t and treat yourself! Thank me later ;)

My partner and I recently stayed in one of the cottages, which was pretty nice. I wouldn't expect any less given the room rates. We kept the air handler running constantly to drone out the nearby highway, which you can see is quite close on any map. If I had to guess, the noise probably isn't as bothersome in the summer, when the trees' branches are adorned by heavy with green, sound-dampening leaves. The cottage had an exceptionally soft king sized bed and 2 firm queen beds. Sounds great if you want to bring family along, assuming everyone is 10 or over (smaller kids are forbidden) and that you pay extra each person beyond 2 people. According to the website, a lot extra, considering the pricey base rate. The reason for my mediocre review is the food, which I wouldn't recommend, and the staff, who don't listen well and aren't accommodating at all. The dinner menu is to be avoided. Want to ask for changes in the courses? Only very minor changes are accepted. There was a crab cake course, which I couldn't eat due to a shellfish sensitivity. Their solution? For the same price, they would give me the paltry veggies that the crab cake would usually sit on, sans crab cake. What a great solution - for them. In advance of our stay, I asked for a certain dinner time, which they said was available but later I found out that they never booked the time we agreed on. Oops? A week in advance, I also asked for a birthday cake with chocolate frosting and yellow cake, which deviated from their standard options of white frosting on yellow cake or chocolate on chocolate. They agreed to make the cake the way I requested, but then failed to do so. A tiny $40 cake that wasn't right was a minor detail but seemed ridiculous.
