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.

Room was nice and clean, and we were notified early that it was ready. Was nice to have a room to sleep in that is not your normal hotel cookie cutter set up. Had a gas fired firepit out front of our room. Nice comfortable bed. This place was a couple minutes' walk to the Nashville House restaurant. You are located close to all the Nashville shops also. Would recommend The Iris Garden Cottages for anyone wanting a change in sleeping arrangements. We stayed in the couple's cottage after seeing the Shawn Cassidy concert. Which was exceptionally good.

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!!!😊

My husband and I loved this place! We stayed in the Sunshine Cabin, and it was well decorated and incredibly clean. There is some community outside areas with fireplaces as well that looked really enjoyable (it was raining during our stay so we couldn't use it). We also enjoyed how close we were to everything. We were just across the street from one of our favorite restaurants Big Woods. We will be staying there again for sure!

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.

We loved the Sunset Cottage. The property is surrounded by all the little shops. It made it easy for us to walk anywhere and explore the neighborhood. And we took in a theater play at the Playhouse. This was our 2nd time and we enjoyed it

Great little place.

Was driving from the south back north, stopped off in town for a nice stop and to do some hiking nearby. This place was perfect and exceeded my expectations after the last few places I had been. The location is great, right in the small downtown area. There's a great pizza place directly across the street. This was definitely the cleanest place I've ever stayed. The cabin would be great for a solo traveler or a couple. Will be returning for a longer stay sometime in the near future.
