Inn at Irwin Gardens

"We booked a stay pre-New Year’s Eve, at the inn in the WG Irwin Suite. Stacey, the innkeeper, was very gracious at accommodating our request for an early check-in at 3 PM. When we arrived, we parked in the rear guest parking area and were greeted by a flock of beautiful cackling hens. Stacey met us at the guest entrance and pointed us to our room. One of the first things we noticed was how beautifully deckering the house was for the Christmas season. Each room in the house had a Christmas tree and every space was beautifully decorated. She said it took a team of seven people 3 days to decorate the house. It was magnificent! We were pleased when we got to our room to find a bottle of champagne on ice and chocolate dip strawberries that we had requested. Our room was spotlessly clean, and the mattress was very comfortable. The bath towels were luxuriously, fluffy and thick - such a nice touch. That evening we walked to dinner at a wonderful restaurant in town – Henry Social Club, where we enjoyed an excellent dinner. After dinner we came back to the inn and found a cozy fire going in the fireplace of the library. We then enjoyed our bottle of champagne and chocolate dipped strawberries in front of the warm fire while listening to music in the library. After a good nights sleep, we then went down to the elegant dining room, where our breakfast citrus fruit and kiwi fruit cup was waiting for us along with a glass of oj. Stacey then served us a homemade apple tart, made with apples from the orchard at the inn and some fresh brewed coffee. Our next course was a wonderful frittata made with the farm fresh eggs from the chickens on property. That was accompanied by small salad with champagne vinaigrette, and toast and bacon. It was quite a hearty breakfast and beautifully presented as well as tasting so good! We really felt pampered. We have stayed at the inn numerous times and always enjoy ourselves. It’s a bit of European elegance in a small town in Indiana setting. We highly recommend the Inn at Irwin Garden It’s a wonderfully relaxing and refreshing getaway. Once you stay here you will want to come back."

"We stayed in the Irwin Suite on Nov. 30th. The house had just been decorated for Christmas and was beautiful. The hostess was phenomenal. She showed us the place and answered all of our historical questions and more. We enjoyed dinner at the Taku and then spent the evening enjoying drinks in the large reading room. The gardens were not in bloom, but outside was still beautiful. Breakfast was delicious. I highly recommend this B&B and the Irwin Suite!"

"This place is awesome! And I visited in the fall when the gardens were dried up…Staff is friendly ,place is clean and interesting.. Having Celiac disease they went above and beyond to accommodate and breakfast was amazing ….Enjoyed! Definitely going back.."

"I've lived in Columbus all my life and this is the first time staying here it was an awesome experience. Rooms are nice and clean and spacious, bed is comfortable. And the breakfast was very scrumptious"

"My first stay there but not my last. This is a quiet, gentle, beautiful wonderful place to go and just BE. My husband and I spent our anniversary there for their Romantic Weekend w/Champagne Breakfast package in February. It was perfect! The food was delicious and the atmosphere was enchanting. The innkeeper was Anna. She was warm, kind and very helpful. She made us feel so comfortable and at home. We'll be planning another trip and spend more time."
