Here is a special spot on the Resort. I remember when the pond was created about 5 years ago. The landscaping has grown and is a great private screen but still allows for viewing of the passing clouds and beautiful trees surrounding the Resort. It is located in front of Cottage 5 which is a guest favorite.

Cottage 1 & 2

Cozy 

Featuring Cottage 1

Cottage 1 is one of the last two remaining cottages originally built in 1934. We sometimes call it the "Blue Glass Cottage" since we have filled a big window with blue glass. A little history on the beginnings of Robin Hood Village Resort. It began with a dream of an artist named Don Beckman. Don happened to have helped build a Hollywood set for the original movie " Adventures of Robin Hood" staring Errol Flynn. When he visited the Hood Canal in the 1930's, it was easy for him to visualize this quaint little village in the woods. Here on this forested property with a salmon bearing creek nestled in the trees and surrounded by snow capped mountains, Don built 5 little cottages. We have been visiting the Mason County Historical Society this week and hope to find some pictures dating back to this time that we can share.

Today, almost 80 years later it's fun to think about all the thousands who have found their way to this spot!
