At this time of year, making lists comes naturally to most of us. To do lists, wish lists, and naughty and nice lists! We’ve made a list and checked it twice so you have all of the innformation you need to enjoy a special getaway. Here are some inns that are tops on our must-visit-list of unique B&B getaways across the country.
1. Iris Inn
What we loved: A sky-high escape in a glass tree house and private cabins for a unique and romantic view of the Shenandoah Valley.
Overlooking the Shenandoah Valley from a 12-acre Blue Ridge mountaintop sits the Iris Inn a bed & breakfast inn with cabins and cottages. Treats and luxury abound at this award-winning inn. From a bottomless cookie jar, bountiful breakfasts, evening wine, cheese, local craft beer tasting to hot tubs and Jacuzzis, guests can’t help but relax, refresh, and renew themselves. The glass tree house cabins are the newest addition where couples are surrounded by windows where nature is their wallpaper. Amenities include private hot tubs on a screened porch deck, heated floors and two-person, rain-head showers. Innkeepers Heidi and Dave Landord have thought of everything, including turning the Deep Woods Cottage into a professional conference room for business meetings and board retreats.
