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!

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!

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.

Family reunion in the mountains.

My wife and I are very familiar with the central Tennesse area even though we currently reside in Florida. We asked our adult children where they would like to have the reunion this year and all requested central Tennessee. We had never stayed at this VRBO before; however, it was pet friendly and big enough to house all of us. Our children came from all over the US to attend. All were very happy with the accommodations. The home is very well stocked, clean and in a very peaceful location. The children came and went as travel required but my wife and I stayed for the full 10 days. Would have stayed longer if we could. I highly recommend this camp/cabin/house to anyone wanting some space and tranquility. The host was always available and. helpful.

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

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.

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.

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.

Thought of everything!

We booked the cabin for my son’s graduation and birthday celebration. The set up of the home was perfect for our group. I have never stayed ANYWHERE else that had every touch of every amenity. The bathrooms were stocked with toilet paper, a whole first aid kit (which came in handy), shampoo, conditioner, and so much more! The kitchen had spices, condiments in the fridge, pods for the dishwasher, paper towels. These owners thought of absolutely everything a family would need that we wouldn’t have to run back and forth to the store. I thoroughly enjoyed the massive deck on the back porch with the ceiling fans and rocking chairs. The path down to the deck was beautifully lit with solar lamps. We enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards. Everyone had something to do. 10/10 would stay again. The owner was so accommodating and the grounds keeper even came out when the deck got stuck so we could fish.

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.
