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.

Really lovely little place! Everything is within walking distance. And don't be fooled by how firm the bed looks- you sink in just enough and it's super comfy!

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!!!😊

Quaint cabin in perfect location

Had a long weekend with my daughter. We stayed in The Heart of Nashville cabin. It was clean and we each had our own bedroom. It's in the perfect location. We were within walking distance of all of the shops and restaurants. Will definitely stay here again. I would love ro check out other cabins. Highly recommend.

Difficult to find lower level unit from upper level parking in the dark. Convenient to town - felt we were a part of it. Unit was very homey but wish more than just one lamp was bright enough to read by. Very clear owners love this place!!

Great alternative to Bloomington

Move-in weekend for IU and unfortunately all the hotels in Bloomington were booked or ridiculously expensive. Decided to stay in Nashville and couldn’t have been happier. Adorable little town and quaint cottages. Highly recommend staying here if you’re visiting your child at IU. Quick trip to campus and away from the chaos. These cottages had a Great location in Nashville. We walked everywhere!

The weather was above 90 with high humidity but our room was cool and comfortable. Very spacious and clean. The bed was great. We have stayed at The Iris Garden Cottages before and will again. Great location for downtown Nashville shopping.

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.

Unique property but A/C could barely cool it. Humidity seemed to win the battle, mildew aroma was present. Bathroom was incredibly small.

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!
