A hideaway for your mountain getaway

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.

Great weekend getaway

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.

Nice Little Getaway Spot

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.

Mountain retreat

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!
