Wonderful little house in a very quiet, historical area with rolling hills. Very comfortable! Grocery store and restaurants only a few miles away. Would definitely stay again!
Wonderful property! So beautiful and unique. Would highly recommend ! Fabulous fire pit and love that it is pet friendly....they are part of our family.
We stayed one night here on our way home and it was excellent. Plenty of space in the cabin and lots of room for our dog to stretch his legs outside. Everything was very comfortable, communication was great, and we loved the area. We hope to come back someday!
Pretty house with everything needed plus a nice patio for outdoors. The outside could use a little more care but I guess it is beginning of the season. Beautiful countryside. Average clean. Communication with host was excellent and prompt
This is a very nice property with a large outdoor space that is perfect for summer. The decor is refined mid-century kitsch and will put you in a good mood. Close connections to Shepherdstown, Antitetam Battlefield, and Harpers Ferry. A quiet and relaxing getaway.
Wonderful communication with the owner, gorgeous property, & super peaceful environment. Spent Saturday in: Boonsboro (breakfast at Dream Diner), Antietam, Harper's Ferry, Charles Town, Shepherdstown, and dinner in Hagerstown (Arepa Queen). All super convenient to this location, but it's farm country so it feels a million miles away from the noise of cities and towns.
We had a wonderful time in this delight- filled historic guest house. Relaxing escape from the city. Plenty of indoor and outdoor space to hang out in. Many humorous touches. Comfy beds, plush towels. Super clean. Exceptional host! Note- has a mini- fridge, and counter top oven when meal planning/ grocery shopping.
My fiancé and I had a great weekend at robins nest! The cottage is so cute and so clean and we felt very comfortable there! We thoroughly enjoyed the cottage and the hut tub! We did some hiking at local trails and enjoyed dinner out both nights. The cottage is quiet and peaceful. We had a very relaxing weekend. The host is very responsive and helpful.
The property was very cute. The shower is lovely and so is the outdoor area. It didn't feel as private as I had hoped it would be, which was the only downside since it was a couple's getaway. I would stay again, but maybe not as a romantic spot; perhaps a small group instead.

Coral,
Thank you for choosing our cottage. We are constantly updating the property and will take your thoughts into consideration as we do so. So glad you enjoyed the property. Would LOVE to host you again!
Cheers,
Robin
This little cottage was so well designed and fun that we took time off of sightseeing to factor in extra time just to hang out in it. It had everything my elderly dad and I needed (a bedroom and bath on the first floor for him, a loft for me) and everything we could have needed if we forgot something (snacks, sun hats, umbrella, clear directions and advice). Bedding was super comfortable. The whole cottage was spotless and just so smartly and warmly designed. The record player and record collection in the loft was such a treat. It felt both as spacious as a rental and as homey and well-supplied as a family home at the same time. Already thinking of when I can come back with more family.
Nestled in the foothills of Washington County and minutes from the Antietam Battlefield, you will not be disappointed if you choose Robin's Nest for your stay. The "nest" had every amenity and the host was fabulous! After soaking in the hot tub, take a mountain drive, hit the Yellow House for a crab cake, head to the beach at Greenbriar State Park, go to Grotto's Caverns. My granddaughter did not want to leave! We will return!
Not very private. Not kid friendly. Youngest child wasn’t able to be in the loft. Went out to use the hot tub and it stated only 16 and older could use. Disappointing.

I'm sorry you were unhappy with your stay. We pride ourselves on accommodating our guests safely. The loft has incredibly steep steps and that is way my insurance company recommended that guests under 12 should not use it. This is stated in my listing. Additionally, medical guidelines are that children under the age of 16 should not be permitted in hot tubs. Again, per my insurance company, this was the recommendation. As far as privacy, it is indicated in the listing that this is a shared property. We do our best to be invisible as to give you full use of the cottage and the grounds included in the listing.
The weather played havoc with our Memorial Day weekend plans, but we still managed to have a great time. We ended up spending far more time in the Robin’s Nest than originally planned, so I feel confident in saying it was a comfortable home away from home for us. We made a couple of meals and streamed some movies on the smart TV, but mostly we lounged around when we weren’t out seeing the soggy sights.
Look. No. Further. This charming get-a-way is a quaint as it gets. Designer-host, Robin, has infused her magic throughout. She was also incredibly kind and responsive. I miss it already. Robin's Nest has ALL the feels and comes with my highest recommendation. I left not just feeling restored, but also inspired. An absolute GEM!
