Guest Experiences
"The Robin's Nest was a lovely home with a great layout and all the amenities we could ask for. A well-stocked spice drawer, extra blankets, great outdoor space, activities to go with said outdoor space. There were plenty of places for all of the humans and just as many for the four-legged guests that were with us. I would absolutely stay with Petchell again."

"When I say they had thought of everything, I mean everything! So many nice touches to make you feel welcomed and things you may not have thought of were readily available! The porch, the view, the rooms, the ambiance was all a peaceful serene getaway from a busy life!"

Experience the magic of Robin's Nest - your perfect year-round retreat awaits!

What a nice and comfortable but fun place to stay while we were there to visit family! It has everything you need to enjoy your stay including a dock to fish off, different games to play, fire pit, kayaks and so much more. The owners communicated very well and I would definitely stay here again.

Weekend Retreat

This cabin is a true gem. Located at the back of Lick Creek with it's own private dock and wonderful views of the water. Very private, immaculately kept, and a back porch that few cabins could compare. Our family will definitely return.

Great get away

This was a very peaceful place to stay. There were only two houses beyond us with very little traffic. Nights on the deck or by the fire pit were the best.

Amazing View

We loved the place! It was just as described and the view was amazing! It was a little off the beaten path but our minivan made it just fine. We were four adults and two seniors. We spent most of our time looking out on the lake roasting marshmallows and playing corn hole. The hosts were very kind and responded with any questions quickly!! Would definitely recommend this place!

Quiet and relaxing property

Excellent just a weekend get away. Water level is great for walking and kayaking, but I think way too low to bring in a boat. But beautifully decorated and very comfortable and quiet few day get away.

What a perfect location to recharge

My husband and I really enjoyed this home. Specifically we enjoyed waking up to the sunrise over the lake from the comfort of our bed. We equally loved the porch and fire pit. We took this precious time to play cards, work puzzles, and just listen to some tunes. We did appreciate the paddleboards and kayaks. There wasn’t anything we needed that wasn’t there. We will definitely be back!

Excellent family vacation

The house was perfect. Pictures were true for the house but not for the lake front. The lake was very low which was a disappointment but the overall experience was great. We all had a great relaxing couple of days. We would definitely stay again. Thank you for sharing your piece of heaven.

The Perfect Getaway

Beautiful 5 star property! I needed a place to stay that would accommodate myself and my crew thru the winter months while we worked an out-of-town job. This was the perfect ‘home away from home’. The kitchen was well-equipped for preparing meals and the beds were comfortable. Thank you, Petchell for being excellent at communication and for being such a gracious host, making sure we had everything we needed. This cabin was nice to come home to at the end of a long day. I will definitely stay here again, but next time I plan to just relax and wet a line! Randy Eli

Beautiful Lake House

My wife and I wanted to stay somewhere on the lake, to celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary and that would allow our fur babies. Robins Nest was perfect for our needs. The house is beautiful, very clean, plenty of room. The grounds and view is fantastic. We spent most of our long weekend, hanging out on the covered patio. Our Son and his family came up and spent Saturday with us. The grandkids loved the Kayaks and paddle boards. Would definitely recommend this place for a comfortable and beautiful get away.

Peaceful Get-Away

Great place to stay to unwind! Spacious, clean, and well equipped. Nice beds, amazing views, quiet location. We used the grill and fire pit regularly (wood provided) and never had issues with mosquitoes. Our teenagers played on/in the water with the provided equipment. We explored a state park nearby (about 30 minutes) one day. The neighbor's dog was hanging out with us often which we did not mind. However, if you do not like or are afraid of dogs this is not the place for you.

Lick Creek Paradise

The home was very nicely decorated and supplied everything that we wanted. It is so peaceful and we spent every day on the patio looking at the beautiful scenery. We had a wonderful time and plan on coming back. The only thing that was a slight annoyance was that in both showers the water would fluctuate from hot to cold. Definitely not a big enough issue to keep me from coming back.

Beautiful property with an excellent view

Our stay at this quaint and comfortable home was wonderful! This home had plenty of room with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The kitchen had everything we needed for our stay. The view and yard are wonderful with a view of the river and a lovely covered patio and fire pit. There is a steep hill leading to the house so it’s not boat friendly. The neighbor is wonderful and allowed us to park our boat at their house. I wouldn’t change a thing about this home, we really enjoyed it.

A Truly Wonderful Experience

I booked the Robin's nest with just a couple of days notice and by all rights, it shouldn't have been available! The property is wonderfully situated with a stunning lake view. Tastefully decorated and pet friendly. Our dog loved the woods and splashing around in the lake. This property is secluded! Bringing our own food made for great family grilling experiences. One suggestion is to bring a couple of Duraflame starter logs for the fire pit. Quick lighting with hours of fire time drinking your favorite bourbon and roasting marshmallows.
