“Warm & Welcoming”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 3, 2012

Our 5 night stay at The Inn at Iris Meadow could not have been more wonderful. Innkeepers, Becky & George Fain, are such warm & welcoming people. We were treated as beloved family, even though this was our first time with them. Upon arrival, we were greeted by "Scratch' the Inn's dog. She enthusiastically leads all guests to the front door. So cute! We stayed in the Garden View room. Queen bed, lovely fireplace and an enormous bathroom. Our room and the entire Inn, is spotlessly clean. Becky does an outstanding job of keeping the rooms tidy, with fresh towels, nice toiletries & superb bedding. And breakfast was just marvelous. Fresh yummy coffee, homemade granola, tasty muffins, omelets one day, waffles offered the next, not to mention the daily fruit plates. Presentation was outstanding. Becky & George also have wonderful recommendations for Waynesville, Asheville and Hendersonville, in addition to the best stops on the Blue Ridge Parkway. When we are next in this area of North Carolina, we will absolutely stay at The Inn at Iris Meadows again. Hopefully our next visit will be timed to see all the iris's in full bloom.

“Bed & Breakfast Heaven”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 19, 2012

If I had to choose one word to describe how I felt leaving the Inn at Iris Meadows it is renewed. The inn keepers Becky and George Fain achieve the art of pampering to perfection. Each breakfast prepared fresh, delicious and abundant. I've had the privilege to stay in three of the seven bedrooms on separate occasions. Firefly Summers Room, Garden View Room and my favorite Butterfly Mornings Room. Who am I kidding? They are all my favorite rooms! The bathrooms are extraordinary especially the Garden View Room. Exceptional linens. I loved to sit in the swing on the upstairs porch at night to view the lights of Waynesville and again early in the morning with a cup of coffee in a pottery mug as fog lifted and the mountains reappeared. I can't wait to return.--Margaret Dunbar Cutright

“Five Star Bed and Breakfast”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 16, 2012

This was my husbands and my first visit to The Inn at Iris Meadows. Becky and Gearoge Fain treated us as if we were family. The breakfasts were absolutely delicious. My personal favorite was the granola. The flowers, the landscape, the garden were all beautiful. My husband and I hiked the acres and enjoyed the beauty and wildlife.. After great company, delicious breadfast, and a hike, to relax in the huge bathtub was just what I wanted. After returning home, we told all our friends about the "must go to" bed and breakfast. We look forward to many more trips to The Inn at Iris Meadows in Waynesville, NC.

“Another visit for the memory book”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 31, 2012

The Inn at Iris Meadows is one of our favorite bed and breakfast inns and each time we have the privilege of being guests in this delighful home is better than the last. Becky and George Fain, even with all the rooms full, make each and every guest feel as though you are the only one in the inn. Everything you expect in your room is there and whether or not this is your first or your fourth or fifth stay, such touches as the turn-down service in your bedroom is just one of the many pleasantries of staying with the Fains. And any review would be sorely amiss if their breakfast was not mentioned. Becky's culinary expertise coupled with the service of George and staff is the highlight of every morning.

Room Tip: The Garden Room is open and airy --- delightful to have the sun awakening you in time for early coff...

“Pampered and Lovin' it!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 10, 2012

Visited the Inn at Iris Meadows again this summer and it was as wonderful as it was last summer. Becky, George the Innkeepers outdid themselves. The bountiful breakfasts are always a highpoint. While there is much to see and do in Waynesville and Asheville, some days it is just hard to move from one of the porches, especially if you have a really good book, a glass of tea and a delightful breeze coming from the mountains. Do yourself a favor and visit the Inn at Iris Meadows. You won't regret a moment--except the part where you have to start packing to return home.
