Nice, comfortable rooms. The bathroom/shower was pretty tight in ours; not a big deal for us, but could be for others. Great location; Nashville is very walkable and Iris Garden is close to everything downtown, so it was nice to get parked on Friday and not need the car, again, until we left on Sunday.

Great girls getaway

Iris Garden is on Van Buren St which is where everything is within walking distance. They offer a fire pit for and evening fire on the property with your own patios. Cottages have everything you need and Josie the owner is a sweetie, very kind and helpful. Great girls getaway! We will be back to try the Couples cottages!!!😊

Great Stay

The Chipmunk Cottage was very clean and roomy for 2 people. I loved that when you walked out the door, that food and shopping was within walking distance.

Perfect for a weekend getaway!

We stayed in the Cozy Cottage and it was so cute and cozy. It had everything we needed including a mini frig and microwave. The location is literally in the center of town and you can walk to everything.

Foghat Get away

The location is in the middle of shopping and dining options. I think the feeling that you are in your own cabin in the middle of every venue. The courtyard is inviting. The room was comfortable ,and thoughtfully decorated , with all the amenities needed. Just a "Slow Ride" away from the Brown County Music Center; we went to the Foghat Concert.

This is the sweetest little set of cabins. They need a little love but the location is perfect and the staff is wonderful. I enjoyed my stay and we’d definitely stay again if we’re in the area. I love that it’s a family run business and these kids are making their parents proud.
