Circa 1898. Robin's Nest adorns the museum and arts district, known as The Montrose, in Houston, Texas. This circa 1898 two-story Queen Anne Victorian is much like an intimate European hotel but with a touch of funky American flair. Relax on the wraparound porch or in the parlor. Upstairs there is a tea/coffee station. Inviting guest bedrooms offer a sweet respite from the day's adventures. Whirlpool suites boast private entrances and porches. Murder mystery parties and weddings are popular events at this bed and breakfast inn. Situated near downtown theaters and gourmet restaurants, Galveston and Johnson Space Center are about an hour away.
