We chose Iris Inn for its close proximity to the best hiking and touring spots in Virginia and for its pet friendly policy (and, of course, the other reviews on tripadvisor). All were were spot on. The inn's location at the southern end of Skyline Drive and the most northern point of the Blue Ridge Parkway is best described as... More

My husband & I and another couple with whom we frequently travel recently stayed at the Iris Inn and were extremely impressed with the whole package. Dave & Heidi Lanford were wonderful hosts. Their beautiful home was decorated for Christmas and it felt like we were visiting friends. The conversation was friendly and informative, the rooms exquisitely clean and comfortable,... More

Loved our anniversary weekend at the Iris Inn! We stayed in the Hawks Nest which sits apart from the main house. We chose it for the privacy and hot tub. Good choice! Our times in the inn with Heidi and Dave Lanford, and "Katie", their sweet border collie, were comfortable and so enjoyable that we booked again and will enjoy... More

We went to the Iris Inn to celebrate New Years eve/day and had a blast! 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... More

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time in this beautifully kept and natural setting! The Innkeepers were very welcoming and accomodating.

A lovely setting, a lovely facility, great food, and the owner’s were very attentive to all of our needs. Katie the Border Collie was an added bonus. We highly recommend the Iris Inn. More

My husband and I stayed at the Iris Inn back in October when the leaves in the area were coming into the height of color. The Inn is located close enough to stores if you need something, but secluded enough to know you are escaping the chaos of the rest of the world. Dave and Heidi are great hosts. The... More

I live and work in Afghanistan and was not expecting to be home for the holidays and was so pleased to find a place close to my family where I could stay. The Inn was beautiful as was the company. The Wildflower room was spacious and had all the ammenities you could hope for in a Inn. Dave and Heidi... More

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... More
