Guest Comments
“We feel like we've died and gone to heaven. What an exquisite inn - perfect in every detail. We LOVED our room - especially luxuriating in the steam shower and tub. The fireplaces made the room so cozy, and the feeling of nestling into that soft bed made the perfect end to a wonderful day. Our stay has been a dream come true. Thanks so much for a spectacular experience! We can't wait to come back and enjoy your scrumptious food, gorgeous rooms, and gracious hospitality. It was the perfect blend of homey comforts and a luxurious escape.” [Christopher and Catherine Harden (Food Editor for North Carolina's OUR STATE MAGAZINE)]

“I loved this room, and the inn - it's just beautiful. I'm coming back next spring to see the irises, I'll see you then” [JH, Washington, DC]
October 2004
“The Inn at Iris Meadows is an inviting retreat in the mountains of North Carolina. My friend and I searched Western Carolina for the prettiest autumn tree and found it when we arrived at the Inn. Upon walking into the mansion, we discovered a beautiful and comfortable home with the most hospitable innkeepers, George and Becky. They gave us a tour and showed us our charming room with the most luxurious bathroom. The breakfasts were delicious - pumpkin muffins were my favorite! This place is a must and I am glad we found it when it was just opened, because I bet soon it will be hard to get a reservation!” [LH, Nashville, TN]

“A truly spectacular room! The architectural details are amazing – even the ceiling fan is a work of art. The private balcony has a beautiful view. Becky and George are the most gracious innkeepers we have ever met. The bathroom will make you feel like royalty. The home is filled with exquisite antiques but maintains a light airy feeling. The porches and common areas provide a calming backdrop to sit back, relax, and rejuvenate the mind and spirit. There are beautiful views around every corner. It was a great place to recharge our batteries and rekindle the romance in our marriage.” [Knoxville, Tn]
