If you're going to stay in the area forget about a motel, instead stay here.

Bill and Karen are welcoming. You will not only get good service, but you can get an idea of how folks live and work in the area. They can give you ideas of what to do and how best to get there.

The breakfast is as good as everyone has said. Additionally, there is a rather large barbequing area. Grab a steak at nearby Treats' Market and enjoy in the fresh air.

The room we stayed in was the Safari Room. So much detail in the motif I could almost hear the native drums beating. Throughout the house there is so much whimsy, one can be entertained by just relaxing with a bit of sherry on the parlor davenport.

One activity offered is the outside projection of concerts. I was reluctant to "watch TV outside on my holiday". It only took a few seconds of the show before I found this to be one of the highlights of the whole vacation.

I could have included so many more pictures, instead I would urge you to go and make your own memories.

Driving up to this glorious Inn was the start to a fabulous weekend! The Victorian Inn was filled with beauty, charm and intriguing historical significance. Our room was so elegant and and perfect for a romantic getaway. We were pampered & spoiled every moment. Having stayed at many B&B's in the past, I can say without reservation that it was THE BEST FOOD EVER! It may be campy to say, but I must...the only disappointment was having to leave. I highly recommend the Robin's Nest to anyone.

These people are kind, pro veteran, and easy to talk to. The accommodations were absolutely wonderful - in fact, beyond imagination. The decor is warm and the various room styles were exciting to pick from, although every one had so much thought put into them. I stayed in the Ingenue room and fell asleep minus my normal sleeping pill and did not wake up until morning. A sip of port and a cookie from the parlor table sure didn't hurt for a night cap.

Bill cooked this gourmet breakfast that was to die for! And gourmet is no exaggeration! He has gathered a vast experience in culture and fine tuned even how he cooks eggs! A strawberry-banana soup (puree, I think) was a surprisingly delicious and welcome appetizer and his French toast... he'd be happy to tell you how he makes them. Something about adding apricot juice and crunched corn flakes, if I got that right.

There is a spa and even a large screen in the gorgeous yard where they hold outdoor concerts and movie showings. The included Wi-Fi comes in handy. We drove up the next morning to the Black Chasm Caverns for a worthwhile tour.

We found them in the AAA guidebook for Northern California and, though it shows the minimum at $100 a night, there are actually options as low as $85, as of our stay. Give them a call![----] http://www.robinest.com/ [----]

We stayed a weekend for a nearby family reunion. The innkeepers, Bill and Karen go above the call for breakfast. Check out their web site for pic's of a typical breakfast. We had sausage and eggs with grilled tomatoes and french toast along with fresh fruit and fruit soup and cheese cake to finish it off.
The B&B is a lovely historic victorian in a nice setting of gardens, lawns, trees and patios/decks. It is on a gentle hillside with parking uphill from the house with maybe a dozen steps (gradual, not steep) so keep it in mind if you like or need level.
