As you enter the drive to the Iris Inn, it happens. The quiet peacefulness and natural beauty embrace you. This Inn is truly unique with its charming porches nestled within the tranquil Shenandoah National Forest. A three-story lookout tower is located on the south side of the inn. Enjoy the soft mountain breezes that sweep away the stress and hurried nature of modern life on the tower’s third level.

Carefully conceived and built to bring people and nature together---and respectful of the needs of both---the Iris Inn hearkens back to simpler times when the gathering of family and friends constitutes an event.  The Great Room offers such a gathering place. The room features a 3-story stone fireplace and an expansive hand painted Shenandoah Woodlands canvas by Clara Thompson. French doors lead to the back deck where you can watch the birds feeding as the squirrels and chipmunks scamper by. Overlooking the Great Room is a loft library where you can get to know the season’s bestseller. Or you can surf the web and pick up e-mail on the guest’s computer. The Iris Inn is a world away, yet minutes from the cultural hub of Charlottesville.
