One of the best weekends we've had in a long time. This Inn should receive the highest rating! The innkeepers were friendly and very helpful in planning our stay. The room we stayed at (Garden Path Suite) was every bit as gorgeous as the pictures on their website... and more, since it didn't show the lovely wooded views all around. The breakfast was elegantly presented and absolutely delicious. They served a mixed fruit cup with homemade lemon-poppy muffins for starters, then offered an egg casserole with asparagus, ham, cheese and hash browns; blueberry waffles; and biscuits and gravy. You won't need to eat again until dinner! I will definitely recommend this inn to anyone looking for a romantic getaway near Charlottesville.

Believing in research and appreciating the candid comments (and photos) posted on this site, I quickly narrowed down the bounty of B & B choices in the central Virginia countryside to the Iris Inn. Could the near unanimity of applause by those who have stayed here previously overstate the case for Heidi and Dave? As we found out, the answer is a resounding "no." We were two couples traveling the wine country who booked two rooms in this contemporary purpose built bed and breakfast, and we could not have been more pleased. Our room, Pine, was spacious and every bit as impressive as pictured on the very helpful Iris Inn website (it is always more comforting selecting from among a number of unique rooms when one is able to view it in advance).

Heidi is a master in the restaurant quality kitchen, and gladly shared two recipes with us from among the bounty of breakfast items prepared. Dave tended to all needs, and held court at "Dave's Bar" during the early evening wine and cheese gatherings. The gathering room, by the way, is a large room with soaring ceiling that resembles more an Aspen ski lodge than the typical B & B parlor.

While our hosts have been in the B & B business for less than a year, their personalities and skills make them natural innkeepers. It takes talent and healthy instincts to assess the level of interaction different guests want (or need), and Heidi and Dave managed to be welcoming without being intrusive. As cliche as it is to report, Heidi and Dave (and dog Katie) make one feel like a guest staying at a friend's home. When we arrived at a local restaurant one night for dinner, glasses of Prosecco were poured for the four of us compliments of Heidi and Dave.

If you want comfort, convenience to highways and a couple who have the talent for making guests feel privileged, you will find all this and more at the Iris Inn.

Our stay at the Iris Inn was absolutely wonderful! The accommodations were perfect, food fantastic, the location great and the innkeepers (Heidi and Dave) were the perfect hosts. We felt so at home and can't sait to stay at the inn again.
I would highly recommend this bed and breakfast.

Niceville, Fla.

WE loved the accomadations, the inkeepers, the dog and the breakfast was first class. The inn is nesteled on a mountaintop overlooking the town of waynesboro, only a five minute drive to urban trout fishing that is easily accesable via the constitution park in downtown waynesboro, wading the south river is easy. This stream is being renovated with help from the local trout unlimited chapter. Ten miles up the mountain is lake sherand park, a nice day trip. plenty of local wineries abound in the region and the blue ridge pkwy is always a pleasant diversion. The innkeepers are committed to making their guest feel at home.
