My family and I stayed at Robin's Nest after spending a week camping in Yellowstone. We very much enjoyed the modern comforts of home after days of sleeping on the ground. The hosts were very understanding of our messy gear and graciously let us air out our wet tents in the yard. However, we were put off by the hosts' personal sales pitch they gave at breakfast. One of the hosts is an author of several books about national parks/history, which came up naturally during conversations during our stay. We enjoyed sharing our experiences in the park and hearing about Bob's adventures there as well. However, while we were at breakfast, Bob and Robin performed a scripted sales pitch, encouraging us to buy his book. He is understandably proud of his work, but it felt forced and awkward - like a car salesman interrupting your family's picnic. Additionally, my family quickly determined that we were of a different political mindset than Robin and Bob, and we did everything we could to avoid politically-charged conversations. Despite our best efforts to steer towards innocuous topics, we found ourselves in several awkward silences after statements made by the hosts with which we disagreed. Overall, the hosts provided great information about the area and we appreciated their hospitality.
