Alicia Dietz Studios

Craft, labor, dedication, and learning were the cornerstones of Alicia's personal ethos in the military. These same characteristics are exemplified in her pursuit of craft. Some people find it an odd jump to go from helicopter pilot to studio furniture maker, but for Alicia, the move made perfect sense. She was able to translate many of her skills in the military to her work as a designer. You can see some of Alicia's work in the Woodland Room and Wildflower Room. She designed the intricate live headboard pictured above.

LATHER

LATHER, a natural self-care brand acclaimed all over the world, is on a mission to eliminate synthetic fragrance. Emilie Hoyt, Founder and CEO, had a hunch that her lifelong, debilitating migraines were triggered by synthetic fragrance – man-made scents generally created in labs, often using toxic chemicals, such as phthalates, petroleum and natural gas byproducts. Emilie began exploring the world, gathering unique ingredients to make natural products for the hair, face, body and mind – all with zero synthetic fragrance. In 1999, she launched LATHER. Since then, LATHER has pledged to never use synthetic fragrance in any of our products. Using advance plant-based resources and technology, we deliver daily, joyful experiences that help people feel real. Iris Inn accommodations all include LATHER shampoo, conditioner, soaps and bodywash chosen specifically to help you relax and unwind. Take the experience with you by purchasing LATHER products from the Iris Inn gift shop.

Pleasant View Soaps

In the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, in the shadow of the Blue Ridge Mountains, there's a plot of land on a grassy hill tucked away at the end of a country road. Here you might find Hannah Girotti, owner taking a walk, tending the vegetable gardens, plucking herbs for infusing into soap, creating photographs of the surrounding beauty, or back inside the homestead kitchen whipping up a batch of something new. Hannah is a life-long Virginia native, and she creates these handmade cold-process soaps with care in small batches with simple, natural ingredients that provide conditioning and pampering for your skin. The variety of traditional oils and butters contribute to an emollient, well-lathering, and long-lasting product. Each hand-crafted bar of soap is unique. The Iris Inn continues its tradition of pampering guests with locally made products and Hannah’s soaps are a perfect fit. They are sold in the Iris Inn gift shop and included in several packages.
