Accommodations
The Iris Garden Downtown Cottages and Suites offers privately named rooms like the Chipmunk Junction, Sunshine Cottage, Girlfriends Getaway, and Cloud 9. Each unit includes a private bathroom with free toiletries, air conditioning, and heating, plus a satellite flat-screen TV in select rooms. Some cottages, such as the Two-Bedroom Apartment and Sweet Suite, provide a fully equipped kitchen with a fridge for self-catering.
Amenities
Guests have access to free parking on site and a garden with an outdoor fireplace and shared fire pit area. The property is entirely non-smoking and provides free WiFi throughout the cottages. A unique on-site rock shop offers a mining activity for rocks and an indoor shop with one-of-a-kind stones.
Location
The cottages sit directly on Van Buren Street in the center of downtown Nashville, allowing guests to walk to all shops and restaurants without moving the car. Indiana University is 30 km away, and Bloomington Memorial Stadium is 31 km from the property. Indianapolis International Airport is 86 km from the hotel, and the Brown County State Park is a short drive for additional hiking and horse riding.
Family-Friendly
Options such as the Girlfriends Getaway offer three separate bedrooms, a large living room, and a full kitchen, easily accommodating a family of six. The owners, Matthew, Amy, Josie, and Tanner Gray, provide personal attention, with Josie sharing her cell phone for after-hours needs. The property also keeps fire extinguishers and smoke detectors for safety, and the quiet streets after 10 pm make it suitable for children.
Outdoor & Nearby Activities
Each cottage has its own private patio or balcony, and a shared fire pit is available for evening gatherings. Hiking and horse riding are accessible in the surrounding Brown County area, with trails within minutes of the hotel. The adjacent Hot Dog Shop offers affordable BBQ, hot dogs, and other fast food for a quick meal without leaving the block.

“What strikes me most is the genuine sense of stepping into a personal retreat, each cottage feeling like a well-appointed, private escape. The location itself is a significant draw, placing you right in the heart of the action with everything a short walk away. It's this blend of intimate comfort and immediate access that truly defines the character here.”
