Charming historic downtown home featuring a queen bed in a spacious loft, two additional bedrooms with two full beds and a twin trundle, equipped kitchen, washer/dryer, large deck, fast Wi-Fi, smart TV, and a cozy dining nook. A hidden kids’ play closet adds fun. Walk to the Andrew Johnson Homestead, tailor shop museum, Nathaniel Greene Museum, Car Museum, General Morgan Inn, Dickson-Williams Mansion, and Elmer T. Cox Library. Perfect base for exploring the Smokies, Asheville, Bristol, and more. Iris House is a cheerful, character-filled home with plenty of thoughtful touches and room to relax. Officially, the house can sleep up to 7 guests, with one queen bed in the spacious loft, two full beds in separate bedrooms, and a twin trundle bed tucked beneath one of them. While it can comfortably accommodate families or small groups, we recommend that adult guests consider the bed arrangements and layout to ensure the space suits their needs. It’s a cozy, flexible home—perfect for a restful stay right in the heart of historic Greeneville. MAINTENANCE NOV 2nd-5th. Please excuse inconvenience. Guests have full, private access to the entire home—this is not a shared space. You’ll have the house, deck, and all amenities to yourselves throughout your stay. Entry is easy and secure with a coded lock—no need to coordinate key pickup. Iris House is set up for comfort and ease, whether you’re here to relax or explore historic downtown Greeneville.

I’m nearby—just a block away if something urgent comes up—but I work full time and am also a full-time student, so I won’t be available in person during your stay unless there’s an emergency. You’ll have plenty of privacy and space to enjoy. Routine Maintenance 11/2-11/5/25 **Apologies for inconvenience**

We loved our stay at the Iris House! It had everything we needed and was walking distance to the beautiful downtown area, as well as our family that we were in town visiting. Thank you for your space, and we hope to be back soon!

A grab bar in the bathtub/shower would make it much easier to get in & out. We also had trouble finding the silverware in the kitchen - finally found all of it in the dishwasher! A nice place but better suited for younger folks!

Decor was magical, amenities bountiful, host was easily accessible and quick to respond One small negative: Front porch entry could use cleaning along with fresh paint & mow yard for a better initial mpression.

Host lacked communication and property on busy street. Cute decor and I like that you don’t have to clean prior to departure , but I made sure it was cleaned for the most part.

Charming stay at a Charming house.

What a unique and beautiful little home the purple iris house is. We absolutely loved our stay here. The check in process was simple and the property managers were very easy to communicate with, and even went above and beyond to make our stay extra enjoyable. The house is stocked with literally everything someone would need on vacation and the property is located right in downtown Greeneville. We will definitely be staying next time we visit town!

I have gone back and forth whether or not to post a review about the Iris House because I have only posted positive reviews for any VRBO host…until now. After much consideration, I decided I wouldn’t have rented this house had I read a review like this. I hope this review is helpful to anyone considering booking the Iris House.We couldn’t get in the house with the code. Host sent a new code but couldn’t describe herself how to work the keypad. It’s a sketchy neighborhood. Exterior is dirty. When we brought our luggage in, all the blinds were down, and the curtains were closed. I later realized why. The bathroom was filthy—hair in sink, on toilet seat, & shower. Urine was all over toilet and floor. Dried toothpaste on hand towel. Sent message to host who asked for pictures. I sent them promptly but never heard back from her. No hot water in the shower. There were holes in the bathroom walls, loose toilet seat, wobbly kitchen stools, dishwasher not secure in between counters, broken microwave, dirty dishes in drawer and cupboards, pet hair on pillows, bedding, and furniture. My allergies were awful! Found mouse droppings in the kitchen. Host requested wearing no shoes in the house, but the floors and carpet were dirty. We had brought slippers that we wore. Before leaving, I put bedding by the washer, ran dishwasher, took out trash, and washed/dried the towels/washcloths and folded/put them away regardless of how the house was when we checked in because that’s how I was raised.
Body hair and urine on toilet seat upon checking in
Dried toothpaste on bathroom hand towel upon checking in
What appears to be pet hair on pillows upon checking in
Hole in bathroom wall that could be reason for the mouse droppings we found
