Inn at Iris Meadows and More

The trip continues..... 

I LOVE the Fall.....

and....I LOVE log cabins.... 




love this old log cabin and its wonderful little porch


burning bush was ablaze everywhere!!! We have one small bush in our backyard....in large clusters, it was magnificent!



and now onto what you're waiting for (and we did, too!!)

and our incredible Inn...

We were fortunate enough to stay here for a couple of nights....
It's such a busy time of year in this part of the world.  Like New England in the Fall, the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Smoky Mountains are filled with visitors from around the world.  This is a wonderful place to stay!!

We always like to stay at b&b's whenever possible to learn more about what we like and what we don't like about them.... and this one was jut beautiful

The driveway toward the Inn


One of the many wreaths that adorned the doors, fences, and porches of the inn




The Inn...



The side entrance and way to the front porch...look closely and you can see the Halloween silhouettes



The inn's dog, with her little Fall kerchief, greeted us as we unpacked the car

The front porch....the innkeeper created this wonderful space filled with lovely places to read and rest


Her wonderful pots of gorgeous geraniums were still in full bloom!!



The front parlor, filled with books and magazines to peruse


The entryway just as you come in the front door...


The breakfast room....the little table on the right near the window is where we sat each morning

there were always treats on the buffet and guests had a small kitchen to make coffee and tea

The fireplace adorned with tiny pumpkins


The area is just splendid.  The little town of Waynesville, North Carolina was high in the mountains and that weekend was host to the annual apple festival.  If you click on apple festival in the previous sentence, you can see the area and look at all the wonderful things to do there.  We ate at two incredible restaurants, so if you plan to go, ask me about them....they were wonderful!

a local farm had piles of pumpkins everywhere


Love this fence!

On the lovely porch of the inn

A home that you can rent (think holidays!!) for all the family.  Sleeps 20.  This is nearby.
                                                                                   

                                                      and now the long drive to Atlanta (about 3 hours) where we flew home from....we made a stop at Trader Joe's there to bring home some things we love.  What a wonderful trip.... in more ways than one! 


Thank you for coming along with us!
