We would ABSOLUTELY stay here again!We stayed here for the eclipse and had a great time! Josie (the owner) couldn't have been more friendly or helpful! 5 stars for customer service!The firepit area was nice, the views from the room upstairs was great, and once we parked the car, and since everything is within walking distance we didn't need to get back in it until we checked out.We thought the beds were a bit too soft, but another review says theirs were too hard. So I guess it's true, you really can't please everyone!Walkability: This is right on the main street of town and all the shops are within walking distance.Noteworthy details: To say that Josie is "amazing" would be an understatement!

This was our 2nd stay with Iris Gardens, this time celebrating our 18th anniversary and next time will be with our whole family.The Sunshine Cottage was intimate, quiet and welcoming, nestled in the heart of everything, handicap friendly, Amy helped us unload and we met Jodi upon check in. 10 STARS!Walkability: Heavenly Biscuit and Big Woods Pizza are always a fave.....others are within walking distance.

Would definitely stay again. Cute little "cabin". Not your typical hotel room. Family run operation; Josie was delightful; Room was clean and quaint with thoughtful additions like coffee fixins and refrigerator in our cozy couples cabin. Loved having front porch.

My husband and I celebrated our 30th anniversary by staying in Chipmunk Junction. We loved it and had a great stay. It is beautiful, clean and spacious. It is located right in the heart of town and you can walk right out the door to shops and restaurants. The owner was very friendly and helpful. We highly recommend staying here.

I recently stayed in the Sweet Suite, an upper level room with a balcony at Iris Garden. I was so impressed with the accommodations!Beautiful, clean , nicely decorated, large room with a kitchenette. and the bed was so comfortable!Also what a perfect location downtown Nashville, walking distance to most of the shops and restaurants.I can’t say enough good things about the owner, Josie.She was so sweet, kind, and helpful during our stay there!I will definitely return and recommend others to this hidden gem!

Great customer service. Very clean and accommodating room. We stayed in the Girlfriends Getaway. There was plenty of room. 4 beds and 2 bathrooms. There was 5 of us. The kitchen was large with great views of the main street. If it was warmer, we would've sat outside on the porch or the sitting area in front of the office. We were able to park in a lot behind the cottages because it was for the courthouse and they are closed on the weekend. They do have a few parking spots available if the lot is not. The location is perfect to all the stores and restaurants. I would definitely recommend this as a place to stay while you're in Brown County.

Customer service was excellent. We were provided emails with confirmation of our reservation and times and then received a phone call on our way there to let us know the office would be closed when we arrived and given the information about parking and the location of our cottage. It was very helpful.The room was perfect for us. We came up for a concert at the Brown County Music Center (which was a wonderful venue!). The Sunshine Ccottage was small but so cozy and had everything we needed. The location is great too—right on the Main Street and within walking distance of all the shops and places to eat and drink. We didn’t get to walk around as much as we wanted because it rained our whole stay, but we will definitely come back to the Iris Garden Cottages in the future and recommend them to anyone looking for a cozy place to stay! Josie in the office was especially friendly and helpful.

Centrally located in downtown Nashville.While the place is in the main road, there is no real visible sign, once your GPS says you arrived, it's better to take first right entrance, go up hill turn right & you will see signs for Iris parking.Checking & checkout process with Jose was very pleasant, always great to see such a magnificent customer service.From my understanding each room has different look & feel.So my opinion be for the room we stayed at and reason behind 4 star VS 5.Room to Price for off season is high when you compare prices to hotel chains (I travel for a living), so most likely during summer season expect to pay prices that would equal staying at Marriott or Hilton downtown Indy!Room was cozy, but in our opinion cluttered, I do understand it's meant to feel as a cottage, but something to be said for simplicity.We felt bed was hard to our liking, but I know other people enjoy hard mattress (Jose did inform me other rooms have softer mattress)The old fire place (see picture) really has no place in the room, taking space & would cause issues trying to get to bed from that side.Bathroom was small.I wish furniture outside were either metal or wood. The cushions on chairs looked unclean & didn't invite you to sit on them.Don't get me wrong, room was very clean this is coming from someone that has allergies & would been sneezing if room wasn't cleaned. Other part we enjoyed being so close to main street but yet we felt safe and room was quite (maybe due to off season)Overall great experience, we will return to check in at different room, of course depending on price. I don't see myself paying more than $150 with taxes.
