    Lake Travis is 60 miles long. Our adorable "fishing cabins" are lakefront properties, preserved between multi-million dollar homes. From the decks, you can hear the chimes of the masts from nearby sailboats.

    I have stayed at Robin's Nest many times and in different rooms. I love to spend the day floating on the lake in the quiet cove. The last time I was there we rented a kayak and paddled our way to a restaurant on the lake. The rooms have a shabby chick warmth that I find very inviting. The breakfast are hot and hearty (my favorite is the migas) and Robin is the perfect balance of welcoming and respectful of privacy.

    We spent Christmas at Robin's Nest and it was so beautiful. The grounds and lake views were just so peaceful. Kelly was really great and she really knows how to make a delicious breakfast. The best thing was that we were able to bring our dog Poncho. There are very few places that allow the family pet and I would visit again just for that reason. There was another family staying at the same time with their pets and it just made it feel more like home. Thank you and Happy New Year 2010. Kay

    My husband and I enjoyed the nice calming atmosphere,it really was peaceful and a nice romantic getaway. The only thing that would make us think twice about staying again is the food. The amount and quality of food was a let down considering the price for the room.

    Innkeeper Response
    We at Robin's Nest do a big potion on the food and make the best blueberry pancakes.I'm sorry that you didn't get enough and you thought quality was good.Please let us know when you come back the next time and we will take care of that problem. If anybody comes to stay with ua please let us know that you would like the Texas size portion that way we will know that you like a larger amount,we have or standard then the Texas size as well. Maybe that will take care of that problem, Thanks, Kelly Biggs Manager

    Went for a girlfriends get away. Room was okay but didn't feel like it was really clean. Porch overlooking lake was really dusty and not well tended. Breakfast was 30 mins late our first morning and when we went to ck on it found her on the phone. Location was good and the food was good.

    Innkeeper Response
