    We enjoyed our stay at The Iris Inn very much. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Our room was modern and very clean with expansive views. The complimentary breakfasts were well prepared, fresh and delicious. The ambiance is warm comfortable and laid back. We'll be returning in the future.

    We are still here, but I am already looking on when we will be coming back. This has been the most amazing trip for my husband and me. The views, the surrounding restaurants, the atmosphere, the hospitality. All 1000 percent perfect.

    What a jewel! We loved our stay at the Iris Inn so much that we added an extra night! Delicious breakfasts, stunning views, and cloud/like mattresses!

    My husband and I stayed here two nights for our anniversary and when we booked with the anniversary package, they upgraded us from an inn room to one of the cottages. The staff was SO helpful, kind and informative and we had everything we needed. The food (both breakfast and dinner) were amazing and the rooms were spotless. The inn is so quiet and tranquil. We had heard great things from friends and family and so glad to experience it ourselves. Will definitely have to come back in the future!

    My husband and I visited the Iris Inn for 4 nights for our honeymoon. We have nothing but wonderful things to say. Between the personalized touches to the rooms, to the amazing communication from the staff, everything was absolutely perfect during our stay. The Innkeepers check on you before they head home for the night via text, and are very responsive and quick to fulfill any needs you may have. The restaurant at the Inn was delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed everything we tried. The portion sizes are pretty large though, so most dishes are perfect for sharing. Our entire stay we heard almost zero noise from within our room, which I thought was nice as most places I've stayed you can hear every footstep or movement from your neighbors. Everything about the Inn made us feel right at home. Lastly, it's within a 10-20 minute drive of grocery stores, parks, trails, restaurants, coffee shops, etc., making for a super convenient location. It's far enough back from the highway to not hear too much traffic. We will definitely be back! Our only regret is not staying longer!

    I highly recommend the Iris Inn. The cabins are extremely comfortable and feel very private. The food is delicious. Watching the sunset over the Shenandoah Valley with a love one makes this experience 5-stars.

    I cannot wait to return. Iris Inn & Cabins exceeded my expectations. I didn't know what to expect when I arrived and was a guest there but I know it was not what I received. The customer service is spot on. The atmosphere is intimate. I was referred to by my name each time I was seen walking the property. My food always arrived fresh to my door. I really enjoyed the balcony view, the calm and quaint atmosphere. I really enjoyed myself and again...I CANNOT wait to return. *my ONLY suggestion would be to take earplugs with you if you stay in the main house. If you have a desire to sleep in, unfortunately because the doors and walls do not block noise, when breakfast is being prepared you will hear the kitchen staff and it will wake you.

    Cabin

    We came to the Iris Inn for a weekend getaway after the craziness of the holidays. While the "bed" part is lovely and luxurious, the "breakfast" needs some major work. Lets start with some positives. The cabins are really nice and well appointed with some luxury items like a heated bathroom floor, a relaxing shower with duel shower heads, a screened in porch complete with a large hot tub, and a warming electric fireplace that adds a romantic vibe to the room. There are also automatic blinds for the large windows facing the view. The view is not bad - but not great either. The website shows much better views. We had in room massages that were a nice added bonus to our relaxing weekend. Now for some cons... We wish the bedding was more luxurious to match the rest of the cabin. The pillows are hard as rocks and the sheets are ok. Some soft king pillows would be a huge upgrade!!! Also, we had some tech issues. If you're going to offer a DVD player with smart capabilities - then make sure it's connected to the internet. People want their Netflix and Chill on vacation. Ok now let's talk breakfast. I appreciate that you can order anything from the menu. Most b&bs have a set menu and you don't have a choice. But, the food just isn't that good. The "eggs Benedict" is not what you would expect - a fried egg on top of on a croissant with a pungent Parmesan cream sauce. The waffle was undercooked and French toast soggy. Scrambled eggs and bacon tasted microwaved. With a few improvements, I think the breakfast could be much better. Also, the hours for breakfast are 8:00-9:30. Who wants to get up that early on a weekend away? Breakfast should go until at least 10. Side note about Waynesboro: there are not many good places to eat in town and hardly any delivery options to the cabin. Overall, with the premium we paid (this place is pricey) we don't feel we got our money's worth. Hopefully, the owners will take some notes from our review for future guests!!

    Great Inn and wonderful service! If you stay here try to get Cabin #4. It has a terrific view of the valley below.

    Ask the Community - The Iris Inn

    The location seems to be close to the Interstate / can you hear the traffic noise?

    No highway noise issues from the Main Inn! You’re up relatively high and away from any main streets and highway. Very peaceful!

    We're an African American family, is this a good place to go? I don't see any different ethnicity reviews.

    Yes, it's a good place. My boyfriend and I are African-American and we felt very comfortable and welcomed there. Also there were about 2 or 3 other African-American couples there during the time of our stay.

    Which rooms include the spa/hot tub with the screened in porch?

    My husband and I got the Hawks Nest cottage and it came with that.

The bath is well appointed and fluffy robes add a luxurious touch. The breakfast was spectacular. Fresh greens with fruit and sugared pecans, the best homemade scone I'd ever eaten, shirred eggs that were scrumptious, bacon cooked to perfection and home fries as well as juice and coffee made up this fabulous feast. The setting is lovely, plenty to do and see nearby and a host and hostess that were both accommodating and delightful to visit with. I highly recommend this establishment.

The surrounding grounds are also a gem with a lovely patio, gardens, Mountain View's and a swing! We found our room ( the blue room) to be comfortable & well appointed . Dana and Scott added all the right touches to make for both a good nights sleep and a comfortable hangout spot to rest from a day of hiking. We've stayed in a few b & b's over the years but Heritage Hill tops our list. Dana and Scott are warm hosts, allowing us free reign of the grounds and much of the home so we could relax outside of our bedroom. Dana prepared a delicious, full breakfast to start our day. The egg soufflé was tasty and cooked to perfection. We found the location to be great, a short (maybe 15 minute) drive from southern Shenandoah NP and northern Blue Ridge Parkway. Both offering hikes and viewpoints. There are breweries, wineries, art galleries, scenic drives and museums in the area. We will definitely return to the area as there's more exploring to do --we plan to definitely stay at Heritage Hill again.

    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.
