Iris Inn

Iris Inn is our home away from home in Ashland and has been for 30 years. We always check their availability before buying tickets to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, The Inn is that instrumental to our travel to this wonderful small town. Of course the rooms and breakfasts are wonderful, and the guests are interesting -- breakfast conversations about the plays the previous night are always a highlight of a stay -- but the real deciding factor is, and has been, the hospitality of Innkeepers Vicki and Greg.

Room decor was a bit dated, although the bathroom had been redone and was wonderful. Hot enough water for two showers was erratic. Hearing guests walking overhead was the only negative about the Parlor Room. Of the three other rooms we saw, we still preferred this one (did not see Porch Room). Owners and Staff were outstanding hosts/chefs/info providers in every way, and I would definitely keep the Iris Inn on my list for my next visit to Ashland!

breakfast is fab and the owners knowledgeable about places to ear and things to do.

A most pleasant experience at this beautiful building with very gracious hosts

Clean, attractive and comfortable rooms. Vicki knows her stuff. She is always helpful and continually brings good suggestions for places to eat and things to do. A cozy place to stay.

Vicki and her staff go the "extra" mile in helping guests feel pampered. Greg, also, is an experienced air traveler who shares his experiences, wisdom and tips. Breakfast are delicious and made "from scratch".

First time here and we will be back! Good location. Wonderful backyard gardens for relaxing. Excellent food and nice to have the flexibility of two seatings.

We had a wonderful visit! The room was very comfortable and cozy, the breakfast was lovely, and all of the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Evening wine, sherry and port (with locally produced dark chocolate) were very nice. Backyard garden provided an expectionally nice place to read and relax and to enjoy a picnic lunch.

Location wonderful. Wonderful host who were very helpful and knowledgeable about where to go for dinner when your first choice was unavailable. Also assisted in our ride home in checking out new vineyards. We now have a new favorite place in Ashland.

Quaint inn, nicely appointed, with gracious innkeepers, clean well-kept rooms, and only 10 minute walk from OSF.

Beautiful home with excellent innkeepers who thrive to make your visit wonderful. Food was great. We will go again with no reservation.

Vicky was the best and made sure all our needs were taken care of.

We have become repeat visitors to the Iris Inn. The rooms are comfortable and it goes without saying that everything is clean and tidy. Vicki is welcoming and helpful. The breakfasts are delicious. In speaking to other guests at breakfast, we have found that many are also repeat visitors. I can't think of a better recommendation. The Inn is also within walking distance to the OSF theaters.

We will continue to plan our OSF visits around the Iris Inn availability. Vicki and her staff are the best!

Outstanding in every way possible. Breakfasts are varied and excellent. Rooms are clean and homey. Turn down service. Afternoon wine always welcomed. Grounds clean, quiet and inviting! Hosts are the best part!

Recent 3 night stay and inn keepers are very nice. Inn itself is nice, clean, beautiful backyard, east to walk to downtown and has off street parking. The breakfast was very light, although well prepared. I would have preferred a bit more privacy, the rooms all open to one hallway upstairs, so I could hear other rooms and people. And in our particular room, the bathroom was very small. Also, the room was very hot, (left windows open and ceiling fan on high to try to cool down) so slept on top of the bed to stay cool. It would not stop me from staying again, but did detract from the experience for us.

Their banana bread french toast was FABULOUS! This B&B was easy to find, quiet and clean. I would recommend it. Close to restaurants, park, and theaters.

We were very pleased that the Inn was still operating since the last visit in 1989. It was even better than we remembered!

Wonderful location - close to all major activies associated with OSF (easy walking distance). Beautiful gardens for enjoyment with evening wine offering. Vicky makes you feel welcome from the moment you step on the porch. Worth the stay.

Ask for the breakfast fruit salad recipe! Mary O'Brien

Our three-night stay was "worth its weight in gold". Several rooms had nice upgrades. New towels this season in the bathrooms were a nice surprise. Innkeeper Vicki is always adding new touches. Breakfasts are superb. Vicki and staff put a lot of time and effort into making old recipes and introducing new ones. One of the best things about the service is that the innkeepers provide helpful information and service but just "let you be" if you desire a quiet, tranquil time. The inn has beautiful gardens for guest use in picnicking (our food, of course), reading, or watching the birds flit around. Finally, each year the experience is as good or better than the prior one. Sound like a perfect 10?

We have stayed at the Iris Inn a couple of times and will continue to come back when we are visiting Ashland. Vicki is a great host and the rooms are intersting and comfortable.

We stopped in Ashland on our way to the Oregon coast and stayed at the very quaint Iris Inn. The Innkeepers were very knowledgeable and helpful about the Ashland area. We were made to feel at home and treated to a fantastic breakfast. We'll definitely choose the Iris Inn again when traveling through the area.

Since it was off season, I had the entire place to myself. It was quiet, relaxing and an easy walk to downtown Ashland. Vicki and Greg are very gracious innkeepers and the place was beautiful! Since I had an early departure, Vicki provided some muffins for the road which was an unexpected and tasty surprise!

Everything was great, Bathroom had been modernized since our last stay. Accommodations comfortable, breakfasts excellent, owners very pleasant and helpful.

My wife and I used to drive from Seattle to Central California non-stop, but we finally decided to slow things down a little and stay at a B&B this past Christmas. One key consideration was a pet friendly establishment. After a lot of research we choose the Iris Inn not just because the inn was pet friendly, but also because other reviews on the Iris Inn were great and it is located just a few minutes walk from downtown Ashland. Oliver (our dog) was also made to feel at home which we really appreciated. Vicki's hospitality was exactly as represented in other reviews, as were the wonderful breakfasts. She even had a pot of coffee ready for us in the morning when we came downstairs even though breakfast was still an hour later. The next time we head south and are traveling thru Ashland we will certainly be staying at the Iris Inn again.

The innkeeper makes this a great place to stay. She has 27 years of life experience in Ashland. She is a conversationalist backed by knowledge of the area & people.

Provides a comfortable, friendly atmosphere. Its location is within walking distance to theatre & restaurants.

Breakfasts were superb, the rooms are immaculate, the location is 2 blocks from downtown, Vicki and Greg are friendly and warm. What more can you ask for?.

My wife and I have traveled all over the world & have stayed in many luxurious hotels. This is the first bed & breakfast we have stayed. Vicki Capp was magnificent, her home was beautiful. It was a great experience.

Our 2nd visit. Our expectations were hight o begin with. Very friendly owner & staff. Very nice grounds. Wine happy hour always a plus. Our place to stay in Ashland. Highly recommended. Added value would be cheese with the wine.

We've been staying at the Iris for about 25 years, along with dozens of loyal clientele who go to Ashland for theatre and the excellent restaurants. There's a reason for such loyalty; the innkeeper, Vicki Capp is a superb hostess (her husband Greg-- her co-innkeeper-- works elsewhere full time, so he is rarely in evidence for very long). She has turned the old Victorian she bought about 30 years ago into a charming home away from home. She bends over backwards to help with reservations at the restaurants and with advice about things to do in this lovely town. Her own breakfasts are splendid. We have stayed at dozens of B&B's in the US, Europe, and the UK, and in Vicki's hands the Iris ranks right up there among the very best. Reserve early; the Inn is often full, particularly at the height of the theatre season (June-September).

I look forward to staying with you. Your location looks very close to the "action" ,but close by. Hope to meet you soon! Margot Bray Fortuna, CA

We have been staying at the Iris Inn for about 10 years. They excel in all respects. We refer all our friends to the Iris Inn.

Everything is done in a classy manner - Would stay no place else in Ashland.

Iris Inn has been our Ashland destination for 17 years, and it still exceeds our expectations. Vicki and Greg are dears, the rooms are so-o-o comfortable, and breakfasts are gourmet award-winning quality. Try it!

This charming Inn has a wonderful location - close to the Shakespeare Theaters, but far enough away to relax in quiet and comfort. Every detail is taken care of for you so your stay is restful. The breakfast is carefully prepared and always delicious. Beds are great, garden beautiful, but the Innkeeper, Vicki Capp, goes the extra mile to see to it that everything is perfect. You may arrive as a stranger, but you leave as a friend. I have been back often.

Within Easy walk of the theater and restaurant district. Adequate parking. Nicely appointed rooms. Interesting & delicious breakfast! Pleasant host. Facilities in garden 7 living room for wine tasting with friends.

I've been staying at the Iris Inn once or twice a year for over 20 years and have stayed in every room at least once. The Vista Room is my favorite. The lovely well kept house and warm hospitality of the innkeepers give me joy with every return.

Good location to walk to plays and downtown. Charming home and Breakfast are wonderful

We've been coming to the Iris Inn for 10 years. Nowhere else can you find an innkeeper who can anticipate your every want or need and makes it happen. You feel so welcomed pampered and well taken care of! Its all the comforts of home and more. Wouldn't stay anywhere else.

Outstanding

We have stayed at Iris Inn for about 8 years now during Memorial Day weekend and love it. Vicki (and Greg when he is there) make you feel like you have come as their houseguests! We have also met other guests that have become friends. The food is great - the house inpeccably clean and it is just an overall delightful B&B. We have stayed in about 6 B&Bs in Ashland and this one is the best.

We have stayed at the Iris Inn for 9+ years during the Memorial Day weekend. It is a real treat, Vicki will do what ever it takes to make your stay enjoyable,she'll make dinner reservations, help with tickets to future plays, direct you to the best wineries, she does it all.

Our stay was terrific. Great hospitality from Vicki and Greg. Always impeccable cleanliness and fabulously tasty breakfast. It's the best part of our visit to Ashland. Feels like home to us!

We really enjoy the inn, innkeeper Vicki, hospitality, breakfasts (yum yum) and convenient location in a residential section.

This was one of the best b&b's we have ever stayed at. The atmosphere was so comfortable and inviting. Vicki and Greg were wonderful inn keepers. They had a variety of rooms to choose from. We look forward to returning and would recommend the Iris Inn to everyone.

The Iris Inn’s porch welcomed us to serene afternoons of warm sun, cool shade and good conversation. Innkeepers, Vicki & Greg, provide tasty wines, tempting breakdasts, beautiful , cozy rooms and the expert touches of caring hosts. They transformed our stay into a visit with friends punctuated by the grand shopping, fine meals and fabulous plays of Ashland!

I was on a special diet and Vicky was so helpful - left the fridge for guests use. Outstanding - an innkeeper who goes above and beyond to assure her guests comfort and safety - supplying "fanny pack" and good tips for bicycling. A lovely retreat, quiet, beautiful, delicious healthy food.

We have been returning to this lovely inn every year for over twenty years as have many others - nothing could speak more of the comfort and hospitality of the place.

This was my second stay at the Iris Inn (see earlier review "My First B&B") and it was just as pleasant years later. The service was friendly and thoughtful. The food was fabulous and the company at the breakfast table delightful. Thank you for a great trip to Ashland, Vicki!

For twenty years it has been a pleasure to stay at the Iris Inn. Greg and Vicki devote so much of themselves to the inn providing an excellent experience. It is my home away from home.

Fragrant flowers, fluffy bright towels, An open door, sturdy walls and floor Exquisite food, an efficient dining mood, A warm hearted host, no details lost Giving and receiving hospitality with gracious good business--thank you.

The Iris Inn was spectacular! My two best friends and I, along with our mother's, engaged three rooms in this lovely home. Our experience was wonderful. The decor is charming, the food was superb, and the little touches were perfect. This Inn is a few extra blocks from the Festival, so bring your walking shoes, but we walked "home" after the evening play. Ashland is such a wonderful place.

We love first time visitors to a bed and breakfast! It's rewarding to see their happiness when they are pampered with a yummy breakfast and all the amenities that we offer to our guests. Hosting friends and family who meet at the inn is an honor, since they chose to stay at The Iris Inn while enjoying Ashland and all it has to offer. As we celebrate 25 years of innkeeping, we look forward to more "first timers" in the coming years.
