    Excellent little BnB. Stayed for two nights for a honeymoon. Nice isolated location. Rooms were spacious and luxurious. Would love to stay there again.

    This trip in early January was our second stay at the Iris Inn. So we knew we were in for a treat. The tub and shower in the Wildflower room were fabulous. Staying on the second floor creates the feeling of being in a very luxurious tree house. Highly recommend this Inn.

    We went to the Iris Inn to celebrate New Years eve/day and had a blast! (I had wanted to go for months!!) The suite we stayed in was fantastic, clean, comfy and super spacious! Dave & Heidi, the innkeepers, were the most friendly, caring and down to earth people you will ever meet! It was almost like being in a nicer version of your own home with family there too! haha - I can say that we will most definitly be coming again! (and just wait until you try the daily prepared breakfasts!)

    This is my favorite B&B! Try adding in a massage while you are there. And the picnic basket lunch is also wonderful!


    Cannot wait to come back!

    Absolutely amazing! My boyfriend and I stayed for two nights in the Deep Woods Suite this weekend (just got home today.) It is completely surrounded by woods and is very private. The room is very spacious and even has an extra bed upstairs. You share the upstairs deck with your neighbor, but the downstairs deck is private to you. The innkeepers, Dave and Heidi, are extremely friendly. Breakfast was a delicious homemade buffet, served between 8-9am every morning, and their family all helps to serve you. It's exactly what we were looking for to escape the city. Great views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. We drove a half hour out to visit Monticello and then shopped and dined around downtown Charlottesville. There are many wineries nearby, as well. As soon as the sun started to set we drove right back to the comfort of the B&B, where you can watch the sun set from the lookout deck they have at the main house and then snuggle up by the fireplace in our suite afterwards. They do have DISH network there, but you cannot purchase any (newer) movies. I recommend bringing DVDs to watch or a good book to read, games to play. There was plenty of older movies and TV shows available to watch. We were able to bring Thanksgiving leftovers with us to keep in the fridge there and the kitchen was stocked with silverware and dishes to use. Absolutely cozy little place. I definitely recommend and will be coming back again!! Thank you, Dave and Heidi!
