My husband and i just wanted a quick (3-day) getaway in shenandoah where we could take our golden doodle. Iris Inn was perfect.  We stayed in one of the dog-friendly cottages.  The accomodations were very comfortable, roomy and in the midst of the natural beauty of the mountains. You can sit in comfy chairs by an outdoor fire pit and watch the sunset on a panoramic view.  Dinner was fabulous and service very personalized.  The complementary breakfast was thoughtfully prepared and different each day.  Kathy and Kelly were gracious  hosts who routinely checked to see if we needed anything.  You are close to Blue Ridge Parkway and Skyline drive so there are many places in the vicinity to hike and then come back to the hot tub.  It was a thoroughly enjoyable couple of days and we are already thinking of when we can return. -Rita

Wonderful stay at Iris Inn

We decided to try the Iris Inn for a brief getaway from DC.  We brought our goldendoodle along on this trip.  It was a great escape.  Kathy is so friendly and helpful to us on arrival.  We stayed in a cabin.  Everything was top notch - clean, inviting, quiet and private.  The area is so beautiful.  Sunset view of the Shenandoah Valley and driving on the Blue Ridge parkway was inspiring. Many choices of trails for hiking.  Great dinner at Green Leaf Grill and beautiful scene for outdoor burgers and beer at the Blue Mountain Brewery.  We hope to come again soon.

Best inn for getaway and hiking

The Shenandoah National Park brought us to the Iris Inn. This beautiful inn is beautiful, comfortable, and serene. The staff is superb. They are cheerful, kind, and accommodating, and are eager to make our stay the best experience. They succeeded in every way. 
I hope a return visit is in my future!

The Iris Inn is a Gem

I chose this property based on the reviews on this site. We would not normally choose this type of property, but I decided to try something different for this portion of our trip. We rented two rooms for 3 nights. Both rooms were  nice; ours in particular was very nice. Nicely decorated and the bed was very comfortable. Based on the previous reviews, we had really high expectations  for the breakfast and the overall experience. The first morning, the breakfast was not much more than what you would get at a Hampton Inn. Each morning it did progressively get better. However, in a B&B experience, we prefer to have the breakfast served to us versus buffet style like it is at the chain hotels. One huge negative for us was the lack of personal customer  interaction. We did have a very nice pleasant lady that greeted us upon arrival and who very nicely asked us if we would like a welcome beverage. Those 3 drinks were on my VISA immediately. The dinners that are served onsite are served in this very small breakfast room. For the prices that are being charged for this intimate dinner service, we would expect a much nicer atmosphere that would match more accordingly with the fine dining prices being charged. The property itself is very nice, but we felt it lacked personal attention that one would normally receive at such a small B&B property. Every morning during breakfast we saw a well dressed female walk in and went in to the office area. We found it odd that this person that appeared to be owner or management never stopped and offered any conversation with the guests. It just seemed to us to be more about the business profit margin versus the personalized guest experience.

Nice Property

My husband and I stayed here two nights for our anniversary and when we booked with the anniversary package, they upgraded us from an inn room to one of the cottages. The staff was SO helpful, kind and informative and we had everything we needed. The food (both breakfast and dinner) were amazing and the rooms were spotless.
The inn is so quiet and tranquil. We had heard great things from friends and family and so glad to experience it ourselves. Will definitely have to come back in the future!

5/5 Experience!

Amazing perfect getaway for couples 
Perfect cabins!
Breakfast and cocktail hour and dinner so yummy with all the personal touches you can think of!!!!!

Amazing views
Heated floors and king sized bed in cabin great
Staff so so friendly and accommodating

Romance

I had such high hopes for this beautiful spot. But, unfortunately, the hospitality, as others have mentioned, is severely lacking. Our A/C was not working for our stay in May, and we only received a $100 gift voucher for a future visit.

Of course when I contacted them, they said they could have sent someone to check on it (at midnight) had we reached out to their emergency after hours number. 

But, if you're paying $700/night for a couples getaway, one will be equally disturbed by a maintenance worker at midnight (who lets face it, isn't going to be able to address the problem at that time) as a hot room. 

The Iris Inn would be a great stay, if everything goes smoothly for your visit. But, don't expect much support for things that don't.

Poor hospitality and functioning

Room was perfect! Clean and  up to date. The bed was so comfortable. The snacks were just what we needed. The Iris Inn wine was great. Hot tub amazing. The kitchen had all the needed items for making meals. The Inn keeper always checking on us to make sure we didn’t need anything. Location right off the interstate.

The Iris Inn 3 night getaway

The views from Iris Inn are spectacular, and even though you’re close to the highway, you can’t hear or see it and feel appropriately out in nature. We stayed in the Hawks nest room, which was very well appointed, and had a nice spa-like smell. The private hot tub was top of the line and it was amazing to look up at the stars while we soaked. The room also has a massage shower, and had good quality shower/bath products. Little touches like complimentary chocolate were thoughtful and appreciated. And it was so convenient to have breakfast included and to have a variety of places to walk or sit around and enjoy the outdoors on site. The option to have dinner or a massage at the inn was also nice…we did both. Dinner was good but overpriced (although note that we’ve been to many amazing restaurants so our bar is pretty high), although the desserts were phenomenal. And Julia gave me a great deep tissue massage.

On the negative side, we noticed that there was a very old looking charcuterie plate in our refrigerator when we arrived. We didn't want to put it outside and attract animals, but it kind of grossed us out. Also, if you don’t like soft mattresses, avoid the Hawks nest room... apparently the mattress is relatively new but it was quite saggy and we kept rolling into the middle even when we started out on the sides. There was a decent variety of breakfast options each morning, but the breakfast staff was not as friendly/ welcoming as we’d expected in a smaller lodging establishment like this one.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend…but for us, it didn’t get the 5/5 rating it currently has on here.

Beautiful skies at Iris Inn, a few kinks around meals

Very thoughtfully designed and well-appointed luxurious cabins. Stayed here for 10 year anniversary and think it was really beautiful. The mountain views are amazing. Would love to come back every year.
