    Two Great Nights

    May 30, 2013

    We came to see the :Picasso Exhibit. Walked to Museum of Fine Arts, to Menil, etc. from the B and B. Walked to restaurants. Walked to a local pub. Great fun place to stay. Robin is a great gal. This is the place to stay if you want to go to museums and food. Park you car and stay in a great B and B. Great neighborhood. We will go back for sure.

    A unique place to stay!

    May 12, 2013

    This was a completely unique house to stay in! Our host, Robin, made us very welcome into her home, the breakfasts were great and we loved sitting and talking with the other guests around her table. If you are staying for a few days in Houston this is a brilliant place to lay your head! Jim and Barbara, England

    Cecelia's Room

    Cecelia's Room is soft but determined with red English Toile fabrics hand sewn by Robin for this room. The floors are the now-rare Longleaf Pine. The walls are MacArthur Park Green. The bathroom carries through with a red silk check. Cecelia's Room is on the second floor. It faces east so you get morning sun; however, the English toile drapes are beautifully lined so you can close out the light if you wish. There are five windows, a queen bed plus a twin or day bed should you need it. The room can sleep three comfortably.

    Antonio's Room

    Antonio's Room is a strikingly handsome bedroom, upstairs, with a queen-sized bed, private bath and charming kitchen.

Check in time is After 1 p.m. and Check out time is 11:00 AM. 10' ceilings, original, rare, Longleaf Pine hardwood floors. A good room for writing poetry, I think.

    Ruth Ann's Room

    Ruth Ann's Room is the only room downstairs which renders it somewhat isolated. Because it's the only guest room downstairs your space de facto extends to the sun room, the parlor and the dining room. If you are a light or late sleeper another room may be better, however, as we serve breakfast from 7 - 9 a.m. If it doesn't bother you, it doesn't bother us. The bathroom is a good size, with tub and shower inclusive, a muraled shade tree and a giraffe to keep you company. Check in time is After 1 p.m. and Check out time is 11:00 AM.

    Barbara Joyce's Room

    Bold, warm colors. If you're planning to pop the question or close a business deal, this is the room that will give your adrenalin an extra drop or two.

It's especially private because it's detached from the main house. It's in the second house (c.1920) called "The little Nest", toward the back of the property. A queen bed, original art, a French pedestal table for an intimate chat, which Robin brought back from Paris: or, if you must, work. A shower for one, or a deep whirlpool for two, or just you after a long day and before that oh, so comfortable, bed.

    Robin's Nest - Nice!

    May 09, 2013

    A friend and I stayed at Robin's Nest this week. A pleasant stay. The room was spacious and atmosphere eclectic. Nice residential location - even though every cabby we met had never heard of the B&B or Greeley Street (and we took about 12 cab rides during our stay!) I cannot say this is a great place to stay for everyone - narrow stairs, "older" (although lovely) accommodations, limited breakfast selection (although very good food) and very much “self serve” when it comes to check in/out. With that said, we enjoyed our time with Robin and would return. I am a B&B lover, and Robin’s Nest is good, maybe not fabulous, but definitely good!

    As described

    April 17, 2013

    Best way to summarize is to say that the place is exactly as described in their advertising materials. Charming, comfy, clean, cozy, etc etc, good location near shops, resturants, museums, etc etc

    A Welcome Retreat

    April 14, 2013

    I don't think we could have chosen a nicer place to spend our week in Houston. Robin and her staff welcomed us so warmly, the food was delicious and we felt such peace in our little apartment, which was great as we aren't really city folk and we would have found Houston hard work otherwise! Thank you all for making our stay memorable.

    Great historic B&B

    April 11, 2013

    The Robin's Nest is charming and very relaxing. We stayed in Cindy's Room, which is not in the main house, but right next to it. We still were included in breakfast, which was wonderful each time. I love the fellowship of breakfast in a B&B and Robin's Nest had a great feeling of fellowship.
