What a hidden gem! I went to Iris as a solo getaway for the evening (last Thursday), traveling from…read moreNorthern VA (the concrete jungle) and stayed in Cabin #4. It was gorgeous. It was super clean, with a nice, cozy bed and comfortable, bougie amenities, including the shower you'd see at the St. Regis (open shower with a rain showerhead and sprayer). The private hot tub on the deck overlooking the mountains is gorgeous. I watched the sunset from my deck. I also discovered there's a washer/dryer in there in addition to a microwave and a fridge. So it's like a bougie version of a Residence Inn. Also, since I'm in my own cabin, I didn't hear anything from the outside unless I was outside. The property is beautiful. It has some small on-site hiking trails that take about 20-30 minutes. The clubhouse has an AMAZING chef-cooked breakfast in the morning that's included in your stay rate, and the on-site manager is so nice. They also put sparkling water and Fiji water in your fridge for free. You're also near the cute town of Staunton, which has gift shops, glass art (and glassblowing if you want to try), a historic railway, a high point city view (Sears Bridge), book shops, and restaurants/cafes. It's good to spend a few hours. There's no dinner on-site at the inn, but I went to the nearby Blue Mountain Brewery, which gets very popular. I hope you have a wonderful time here, and I HIGHLY recommend it.

One review?!? People need to know about this place!!!…read more We travel frequently and love to stay at B&Bs. We had reservations to stay at a different B&B in Scottsville but due to an unfortunate situation we found ourselves looking for alternate arrangements. While I was on the cell phone checking for a place my wife ran across The Chester and called them. She was smiling from the moment that she spoke with them on the phone which, considering our frame of mind, was a great start. We got to this place which was absolutely gorgeous. The Inn was spacious, clean, very tastefully decorated and painted, and smelled like roses and family. We were warmly greeted by Jean who showed us the rooms and was accommodating from the get go. She helped us plan dinner and set up a late wine tasting trip, as well as offered to make dinner for us the evening after. The dinner was fantastic with Jean and Craig pampering us with delicious food, wine and dessert. If you have the opportunity to have dinner with them ask her for the orange squash soup and the rosemary pork...WOW! The breakfasts too were amazing!! We offered Jean to buy our own bacon/sausage since my wife does not eat nitrates (migraines). She told us not to worry about it and she will figure it out. The first day she served a fantastic veggie quiche (sorry if I am not using the right term) with fresh juice and french pressed coffee. The second day french toast with NITRATE FREE apple sausages! Our rooms were promptly made every day and Craig made sure to provide turned down service which was a very nice detail. Oh yeah, we got to meet the grand baby and also the Inn mascot, Trixie, who is a sweet little dog with the best personality. One of the best B&B experiences we've had period! We will be back!!

When we arrived we were greeted with a warm "Welcome, and consider yourselves part of the family"....and that is how it was. We chatted with the hosts at Breakfast (which was delicious) and when we returned from dinner in the evening. The second evening we even talked them into a scotch and great conversation in front of a roaring fire. Location is quaint and peaceful and very close to all of the sites you would want to visit (Monticello, Madison's house, wineries, Charlottesville, antique shops, etc.). A great stay.

I have stayed here many times and will return. The main Inn is a converted stable so each small…read moreroom is identical size and configuration, with a full size bed, small desk, and ikea type armoire-closet. Each room has different art, much of it original art and prints creates by the proprietor Kathy. This place is perfect for a group due to the gathering areas like the wonderful outdoor patio/deck and the indoor living room. And the price point is very group and family friendly. One of the reasons the price point is so great is because there are shared bathrooms down the hall rather than in your room. There are two, one for men and one for women, each has two commodes and two showers, one shower of which is ADA compliant. There is also another bathroom on the other end of the hall that is just a commode and sink. The bathroom is always very clean and I seldom bump into anyone there. If you're staying here with a group or family it's only going to be your people in the bathroom anyway. You can put some items in the shared refrigerator in the kitchen, there are glassware and plates as needed (just wash them when you're done). Breakfast is an assortment of homemade muffins and breads, jam, bitter, fresh fruit, coffee, or tea. I usually bring some hard boiled eggs or cheese, and keep it in the fridge. The proprietor is Kathy and Martin are super kind and are happy to provide suggestions about restaurants, wineries, swimming holes, etc. The property is on many acres in rural Faber, but is quite convenient to route 151 i.e. about eight minutes drive from Devils Backbone, and also about equidistant to Route 29. I've stayed here probably a dozen times with groups of friends and love it.

The view is beautiful as it is nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. We have stayed there twice and will stay again when we return in the fall.

We had zero cell service here but the WiFi was strong and useable. The mother and son duo here are great. We only met the mother but was so nice and accommodating and showed us around. The daily homemade breakfast in the morning was delicious. There's a big kitchen table and you just help yourself and eat. There's a keurig available to brew hot coffee at any time. I liked how our room had its own mini fridge stocked with water. Plenty of parking outside in gravel or in the field next door if needed. This place has a lot of history and is rustic and beautiful. Our room was nice but the bathroom was a little outdated. The sink was in the room and the shower was small and old but did the job! I would definitely recommend this place if you're in the area and need a place to stay.

Lost power and was not refunded the night we didn't stay…read more My thoughtful husband booked a two-night stay for my birthday from the night of 8/15 to check out on 8/17 Checking in was easy. Front desk was nice. The room that we got wasn't too spacious (our 3 kids prefer the spaciousness of Hilton Homewood suites and the like) but it made up for it with the little patio space and easy access to go outside so that we could take our dog out. Not too bad for just a couple of nights. On the 16th we had breakfast at The Mill Room. Upon arrival (around 8:50am) the hostess was confused when we said we prepaid for breakfast. She continued to look confused about us pre-paying online. My husband shrugged and decided let's just deal with it later and sit down to eat. I don't know if it's something that they just started and she was not familiar with, but I thought it was odd. Once we sat down to eat, she came back and she said "oh you got a breakfast package?!" And then proceeded to explain how we charge it to the room and how it gets deducted from the amount we prepaid. The breakfast was good with a selection of the typical items like: eggs, potatoes, sausage, bacon as well as pastries and chia pudding. The freshly made waffles were my favorite. That day we had planned to visit some vineyards and an Orchard, do the typical family Charlottesville experience and then get back to use the sports facility and the pool. It was storming on the way back, so we knew that we weren't going to be able to use the pool. When we were entering the building a gentleman who was also staying there said they had lost power and the whole property seemed to be without power. There were no lights on. There didn't seem to be a generator powering emergency lights or anything like that. Thankfully, our room door did open with our card. This was a bit before 8pm. When my husband called guest services, they said to give it about an hour. I'm not sure if this is what the power company gave them or if this was just an estimated time they came up with. An hour later, we still didn't have power. My husband is a business owner and as much as we want to be unplugged when we have family time. It's not realistic. He needs to be available for any emergencies having to deal with his business or his elderly parents. We decided that we couldn't stay the night in a hot hotel room since the AC didn't have power (it was so hot and humid) and risk not being able to charge our devices. Guest services told him that he wouldn't be charged for the night so we booked with a different hotel, packed up our belongings in the dark with the little light we could get from our phone flashlights. Hopefully we didn't miss anything, but we packed everything in the dark and left around 9pm. On the 17th we checked out of the NEW hotel that we booked and drove back 3 hours to our home. My husband saw that we were indeed charged for the night of the 16th so he called the next day, which was Tuesday the 18th around 5:45pm. He left a message with our room number and information requesting that it be refunded. He did not receive a call back. He also tried to emailing but that just bounced back like their email isn't working. It is now 8/21 and we still have not received back any information regarding the stay being refunded as well as the "breakfast package" for five people, for that following morning.

I give this restaurant 5 stars and if I could, It's expensive, but worth it! We are going back for our wedding anniversary and definitely birthday celebration dinner. This is a must go!!! I didn't get pictures of the food, but i did get the pictures of their Winter Wander.
