Simply Amazing!

This property is a hidden gem! Centrally located in the heart of Richmond. Being from the area, I appreciated the subtle references to the region in the decorations. The house was immaculate! We had been traveling for 2 days and walked into a refreshing, organized and clean home. The attention to detail was above and beyond anything I’ve experienced. Make-up mirrors in the bedrooms, extra fans, sheets that smelled like heaven, fully stocked coffee bar… I could go on and on! There is not one thing I could think of that was missing! The host was so friendly! I couldn’t have asked for a better communicator! I will definitely book this property again. You will not be disappointed if you choose to stay at the Robin’s nest! This will always be my go to when staying in Richmond.

About the host

Hosted by Robin Swafford

Our story
We met in Richmond at EKU coming from opposite ends of the state, we decided to make this our home town to raise our 2 children.
Our daughter has played soccer since she was 3. She received a scholarship her junior year to play at University of Southern Indiana. Her senior of higher school she had a career ending injury. She so did not want to go to her home town college, but we talked her in to coming home after her first semester. We ended up buying this 1980’s townhouse 5 years ago for her and 3 roommates. Now all of the girls have graduated and moved on. We were not quite ready to sell it yet, and really did not want to rent to college students. We’ve always wanted to try the short term rental business, so here we are. We have done a few updates but left some of the 80’s vibe. Floors upstairs have been replaced, carpet on stairs, new garage doors, fresh paint, some new lighting so far.
We love thrifting! Much of the decor has been found on our empty nest adventures.
We hope you enjoy our little piece of Richmond Ky.
