Robin's Nest Bed and Breakfast Inn
Seven guest rooms, all with private baths, two with whirlpools for two. Wireless internet, free parking, full or continental breakfast.
We're fortunate to have been written up in The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Time Magazine, Woman's Day, Southern Living, Texas Highways, etc. The Inn has been the backdrop for several professional photo shoots, including M.D. Anderson's Christmas Cards.
The draperies, bed clothes, etc. are originals, custom sewn especially for Robin's Nest. The Inn is painted in warm colors and appealing textures, hand muraled or stenciled. Valued antiques are mixed with a few vintage pieces to create a harmonious eclecticism.
