OCTOBER! Really?

Wednesday, October 3rd, 2012

I can’t believe it is already October!  I was running this morning with neighbors (yes, me), and realized how wonderfully cool it was.  When the sun eventually came up, I saw how fantastic the Governor’s Mansion District of the Quapaw Quarter looks bathed in sunlight.  The houses are truly splendid.  And it did make the pain of running at 6:30 am a little more bearable.  But, October?

Arkansas really knows how to do October.  There are just so many outdoor activities, and the festivals!  As the temperatures drop down to the fabulous range, Arkansans come out of the air conditioning.

On Saturday, the 6th, there are the Junction Bridge Regatta Sailboat Exhibition Races.  This pedestrian bridge was just dedicated this time last year and we are already making great use of it with wonderful activities like this.  The Grande Maumelle Sailing Club is putting on the Rowing Exhibition Races on the river.  Music, snacks, and beverages provided, just bring your own chair and enjoy the afternoon.

On the 9th, Need to Breathe will be in concert at Robinson Music Hall; and Tales of the Crypt is going on at Mount Holly Cemetery.  Bassnectar is on the 10th at the River Market Amphitheatre.  Then there is Brad Paisley on the 11th at Verizon.

Between the Haunted Cathedral and World Cheese Dip Championship, there are lot’s of family activities just minutes from Robinwood.  Come visit us and join the fun.

What to Expect From a Perfect Little Rock, AR FAll

Friday, September 14th, 2012

The brutal heat of the summer has finally broken!  Now that September has arrived, there is much to do in Little Rock, AR.

Now through September 23, the Arkansas Repertory Theatre is presenting Shakespeare’s Henry V.  Plan that with a lovely dinner at Caio or Lulav, paired with a night at Robinwood B&B and you have a perfect weekend.

Not into Shakespeare?  Try an evening at Murry’s Dinner Playhouse featuring “Church Basement Ladies”.  Murry’s comedies are always sure to please.

Looking for something to put shivers down your spine?  Schedule ” A Haunted Evening Tour” with Linda Howell (501)681-3857 for your Friday evening fun. Or save the date of October 9 and tour Mount Holly Cemetery with ghostly guides lighting your way in Tales of the Crypt.

More of a Civil War buff?  The Old State House Museum is featuring “Battle Colors of Arkansas”, varied roles Arkansas played in the American Civil War.

Think the great outdoors is more your style?  Bring your bike or just hike the Arkansas River Trail.    36 miles connecting 23 parks and great river views on both sided of the Arkansas River.

So anyway you slice it, Little Rock is putting its best face forward for wonderful fall temperatures and lots to do.  See you at Robinwood B&B.

Christmas in Little Rock, Arkansas

Sunday, December 11th, 2011

Fall has passed by so very quickly and it is difficult to believe it is already the Christmas season.  That is until snow happened last week.  Snow in early December in Little Rock, AR, that almost never happens!  And so the wake up call, it is winter, and the Christmas season is upon us.

That means there are great things happening.  The Arkansas Repertory Theater, minutes away from Robinwood, is presenting “A Christmas Carol, the Musical”.  Scrooge never looked so good!  All the downtown restaurants are geared toward diners with tickets to all sorts of activities and will make sure their guests finish up in time to make the show of their choice.

“Not Now Darling” is the play of choice at Murry’s Dinner Play House until New Year’s Eve.  This delightful play makes for a fun and lighthearted evening.  We’ve had guests of all ages attend this play and come back with nothing but great things to say about the cast.

Ice skating is so traditional in most parts of the country, but not here, until Arvest River Market Ice opens in the RiverMarket 

The Magic of Christmas

just in time to make Little Rock feel just a little more like home for some folks.  Those of us who did not grow up on ice do our best to not embarrass ourselves, while others glide like experts around the rink.

Come join us at Robinwood and feel the magic of Christmas, Little Rock Ar style.

 

Staycations in Little Rock, AR

Monday, May 2nd, 2011

Why would anyone consider Little Rock, Arkansas a good location for a Staycation?  Are you kidding me?

Little Rock offers so many wonderful options, and because of the size of the city, relatively close together.

Like the outdoors?  Climb Pinnacle Mountain in the morning and rent a bike in the afternoon.  Walk the River Path and enjoy the beauty of the Arkansas River –  from the middle.  The Big Damn Bridge offers an incredible view!

Big name concerts play a Verizon Arena all the time, pick a favorite and spend time in the River Market while you’re waiting.  Live music abounds at Little Rocks restaurants and clubs.  The Ark. Repertory Theater presents wonderful traveling shows.  We even have a long standing dinner theater called Murry’s for those who want a taste of local actors!

Love museums?  The Arkansas Art Center, Historic Arkansas Museum, William Jefferson Clinton Presidential Museum, (to name just a few!) can easily fill several days.

What is your pleasure?  Find it in Little Rock!

Early Spring in Little Rock, AR

Wednesday, April 6th, 2011

Spring has come early to Little Rock.  The azaleas and dogwood are blooming.  Trees all over the city are leafing out and green is certainly the color of the month.  With temperatures reaching into the mid 80′s this weekend, it feels more like May than April.  In a beautiful historic neighborhood, we have a front row seat.

Sitting on the front porch, I am grateful for the beautiful homes cloaked in blossoms and color.  The warmth for the early spring can change a dreary morning into a dazzling day, full of promises of adventure.

Mount Holly Cemetery a few blocks away, is beautiful with  Irises, flowering trees, and carpets of wild flowers.  There is no better time to stroll through its peaceful lanes.

Don’t miss this wonderful time of year in Little Rock.   It just doesn’t get better than this.

Weddings at Robinwood

Monday, October 25th, 2010

Mother and I were talking about what we wanted to do at Robinwood this winter, and we decided we would like to make Robinwood B&B romance central for November, December, and January.

We are putting together new packages for elopements and weddings.

While we recognize that cost should never prevent a bride from having everything she wants on her special day, we know that in this economy, it sometimes does.  We would love to make your wedding day beautiful and affordable.

We will work with you to make your dreams come true by making our packages fit your individual desires.  If you need a photographer, we will supply one.  If you prefer to cater your own reception, we will work with you on your menu.

We can provide all linens, dishes, glassware, and serving pieces that you require.  Flowers, candles, and ribbons can be used as much or as little as you prefer.

Let us make your day special and worry free, at Robinwood.

Temperatures are rising fast in Little Rock, AR, but that doesn’t mean there is nothing to do.  Museums abound in Little Rock.  The Arkansas Arts Center in historic MacArthur Park hosts elegant art galleries that showcase exhibitions from the AAC’s acclaimed collection of unique works.

May is for Moms in Little Rock

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

Little Rock Ar Bed and Breakfasts find May an exciting month.

Mother’s Day brings the annual Quapaw Quarter Spring Tour.  This year’s tour, “Something for Everyone”  let’s guests to Little Rock’s Historic Quapaw Quarter spend the day with Mom in a very special way.  Five very different historic homes will be on tour, St. Andrews Cathedral will be spectacular, and a newly available River Market condo will join this year’s tour.  Tickets will be available at the homes or at the Visitor’s Center at Curran Hall, which is also a “must see”.

Area Realtors will be holding open houses in the neighborhood while the Spring Tour is being held.  This wonderful neighborhood really goes all out to welcome visitors and make the day special.  While traveling the sidewalks between homes, be sure to say “Hi!’ to the residents you pass.  It makes their day special, too.

The Little Rock Bed and Breakfasts support and participate in the tours.
