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.

Buyer beware - sharp business practices…read more My wife and I booked the Iris Inn for two nights through Expedia. The Inn's listing on Expedia said it was "dog friendly." Great, right? Not really. The Inn sent a message through Expedia saying that the room I booked didn't accommodate pets, but that they had more expensive rooms that did and would I want to switch to one of those rooms? Ok, I get it. Bait and switch. The problem is, the message went right to my spam folder. Never had a chance to see it and I never responded. That's where it was left for over two months until "Linda" called me up several weeks before the reservation - ostensibly to ask for a credit card for incidentals. I have the voicemail. I thought this was a bit unusual, asking for a credit card weeks beforehand for incidentals. In her voicemail she never mentioned anything about the pet issue, and she never mentioned anything it when I calked her back and spoke to her. Why? She knew I had not replied to her Expedia message. Why didn't she mention it? Why not "by the way, did you see the message we sent?" And she obviously had my phone number - she called me - why didn't she follow up that Expedia message with a simple phone call? The day of check-in I searched my email for the check-in instructions and only then did I see the Expedia message about the room I booked not accepting pets. I called in a panic. Linda explains their pet friendly rooms are sold out. So there I am, hours from home, with my dog, and nowhere to stay. And so I was forced to cancel the reservation, and Linda and the Iris Inn gladly took the $846 for the forced cancellation. That's almost a grand down the drain. For the love of God all she needed to do was SAY SOMETHING. So as you're thinking about where to spend your money, remember my experience. I'm just a normal person that lost $846 to this place when all they needed to do was say something about pets in the room I booked when they had me on the phone weeks before my booking. This is the kind of place the Iris Inn is. This is the kind of person "Linda the innkeeper" is. You have a choice to reward good behavior with your dollars or bad. It's your choice.

John even made an apple pie to have with our 2nd morning breakfast. It was fun to visit the alpacas and donkeys, and give them treats. Would definitely stay there again if we find ourselves heading back to central VA. There is a lot to do in the area - plenty of wineries and breweries if that is your thing. A beautiful part of the country.

They also accept pets for a small fee. Just don't leave your pet to bark while your out eating at the amazing restaurants in downtown Crozet. It's a only a few miles away from the Inn, so you won't feel "too far in the woods". We stayed in the farmhouse, but when I get back there again I'd like to stay in the main house (without a dog). The views from the upstairs windows were breathtaking! Looking forward to going back and hiking the trails again. There is a great swimming hole up the road, just ask the innkeepers for directions. This would be an excellent place to hold a family reunion as they have two locations on the same property. The field between the inn and the farmhouse would be great for volleyball/football or any sport really. Looking forward to coming back! The innkeepers are so nice and even gave my dog water while we had breakfast al fresco! We met great people here too! I love the area!

The husband-and-wife owners, along with their four wonderful boys, are building such a special place here. The property is absolutely stunning: an amazing barn that's ready to host weddings, a sparkling pond with a fountain and gazebo, a vineyard right on-site, a beautiful swimming pool, a cozy fire pit, and breathtaking mountain views in every direction. There's so much to do--wineries, breweries, and incredible restaurants are just 15 to 20 minutes away in any direction, along with antique shops to explore. Or you can stay put and relax: enjoy a private breakfast on the front porch, book an in-room massage, or have a romantic dinner under the old oak tree in the backyard. And the breakfast? Out of this world. The wife is an incredible cook--you'll wake up to something better than you could imagine every morning. Whether you're looking for a quiet escape, planning a wedding, or just want to enjoy Virginia wine country, The Orchard House B&B is absolute perfection. Highly recommend!

I called the inn concierge to ask a few questions, but they didn't respond, and never retuned my call, although I left a clear message. I tried calling again on another day, but again went to voicemail. It was easy to locate and parking was fine. The landscaping around the inn was lovely. My room was at the top of a narrow, steep staircase. No offer of help to get my bag up there until I got to the top, and then one of the housekeepers kindly helped me with my bag. The room was what I expected, given the inn is old. The bathroom was okay and the hot water was fine. It was clean, but there were ants around the coffee maker, as well as larger bugs- I woke up to find a medium sized black bug under my back and in the bathroom , another larger one on my shoulder. I didn't find anyone at the desk at 5pm or at 7am the next morning to answer questions or check out. I had been given a number to call if you needed them but I didn't want to bother them, as it wasn't an emergency. There were no snacks or drinks available in the afternoon or overnight, and they recommended I either go to a gas station nearby, or go to the beautiful winery down the road, which I did, but they were full and did not offer a take-out lunch. There was a nice new Nespresso machine in my room, and I enjoyed the coffee immensely. I did not stay for breakfast, as I found my stay an unpleasant experience overall. It was not a place I would want to visit again.
