    Cabin #8, cozy, much more spacious inside than the front suggests, with everything you need to enjoy a week.  (Bring groceries!)
    Tamara M.

    We were looking for a place to get away from all the hustle and bustle of life and Royal Oaks Cabins was just what we needed! The owners, Keith and Sharon, were extremely kind, and full of great information on the area, everything from shopping, wineries, breweries, recommended hikes, and great scenery. I love history and Keith had interesting stories on the region that made me fall in love with the area even more. We stayed in cabin #8, it was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. If you can afford it - stay in Chalet #12, the view from that patio is gorgeous! He has various sizes and options, depending on your needs and budgets, and as long as the parkway is open - the cabins are available year round. The location is secluded enough that the nights are nearly silent, with the exception of the sounds of the forest. Yet, there is a lot of life, good restaurants, etc. within 15-20 minutes in every direction. When you stay here, take time to go stargazing, the only way to see more stars would be from a ship out to sea. I was almost disoriented the first night I looked up and saw the spectacular sight! Bring a telescope if you like, there is a big open field across from the cabins and it would be a good place to hang out and check out the universe. We were looking for quiet and disconnected, so we loved everything. I should warn you that Verizon cell phones don't work here, but there is wi-fi, if you need to stay connected. If you come someplace like this, most people aren't that concerned with the phones - so it wasn't a big deal. As soon as you head toward any of the towns, the signal returns. This would be a great place for weddings, church youth groups, true love escapes, or just getting away from it all. Hiking on the Appalachian Trail and need a hot shower? This is right off the trail, and the smaller cabins are very affordable. I guess you can tell I'm a fan - we will definitely be back!

    We greatly enjoyed staying at Royal Oaks! We visited on Memorial Day weekend and stayed in cabin 2. I didn't have the time to research the vicinity and our only criteria was to be in a beautiful area where we could hike, enjoy the outdoors, and grill outside. So, imagine our surprise, when we learned that there were wineries, amazing trails, and breweries all just a 15-20 minute drive from our cabin! We discovered all the attractions thanks to Keith, the owner of the resort. Keith provided us with maps and took the time to suggest which hikes we should definitely check out and told us about other things to do in the area. While staying at Royal Oaks, we went on two amazing hikes, visited Devil's Backbone, Hilltop Winery- a winery that specializes in fruit and honey wines, and Boldrock Hard Cider. We would have gone on more hikes and seen more places, but we also wanted to take the time to really enjoy our cabin, which was adorable. The cabin was clean and the kitchen was stocked with the essentials. We grilled every night and enjoyed eating outside. On our second night we went to the campfire that Keith organized; it was very nice and we enjoyed meeting the other guests. I would definitely stay here again and I recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy some R&R in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains!

    At the mountain top! The view and fresh air is amazing!

    A breath of fresh air above the clouds. Solitude and relaxation abound this hideaway just off the Blue Ridge Parkway.

    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.

    This could be a decent place if they provided parking for all their guest. They do not if you stay…read morein the back you are out of parking 90% of the time. Especially if your handicap not one space dedicated to handicap people. Call and say something you will get told "well there is nothing we can do about it if you park at your room you will be towed " other words if your handicap just ride your wheelchair or hobble down hill a long way from the empty front lot to the back. Lol rude I'd say yes. The only handicap spots are in the front at the office a great distance from the back option walk down a hill long ways around building to the back or downstairs alot of stairs. You handicap people choose. Because again they can't/ to lazy to help. Besides the parking paying over 2,000 to stay and the room smaller then your standard Days Inn great stay. Especially if your disabled. Thanks hope this helps the next ada disabled person get better service then myself. Have a great day.

    They provide white towels. I washed my face and dried my face with said towel. Left some makeup…read moreresidue on said towel. Just checked my credit card and was charged $15. I called and was told it was because there was "orange" on the towel. Perhaps supply your guests with black towels to avoid this in the future. Never in my life. We will be making biweekly trips to this area for the next 6 months and were planning on booking again but forget it. If you consider this place, bring your own sheets and blankets as you may get them dirty which apparently is a no no at this particular hotel. SMH.
