The Robinhood Resort is truly a family owned and operated business.
The Robinhood Resort was purchased in 1994 by Charlie and Evelyn Brewster. Charlie oversees the hotel, while his wife Evelyn, was a special education teacher in the Bear Valley School District. Their son, Craig, and daughter, Christie, managed Nottinghams Tavern for many years and, after selling it in 2020, are now full time at the hotel. The restaurant will have new owners in 2026! |

A Brief History
The Robinhood Resort was originally a hotel named Sunset & Snow. A pool was located outside in the patio area. Rumor has it the owner had the pool filled in after his wife witnessed hotel guests skinny dipping one too many times.
Big Bear Valley was a popular location for filming movies and the Robinhood Resort was the favorite gathering place for actors such as John Wayne, Lee Marvin, the Ponderosa Group, and many others. Click here for a List of films shot in Big Bear Valley
The Robinhood Inn, established in the 1960's, was the first restaurant to sit on the site where Nottinghams is now. The interior of the restaurant had an opening on the second level for entertainers.

About The Robinhood Resort
Robinhood Resort Map & Room Guide
The Robinhood Resort consists of 4 separate buildings, including The Robinhood Inn (which includes our lobby and Maid Marian), The Sherwood Forest (which includes the Bartlett building), Nottinghams Tavern, and the Wishing Well.
Robinhood Inn The 21-room Robinhood Inn was purchased by the owners, Evelyn and Charles Brewster in 1994. Charlie, a Northrop retiree, ran the hotel while Evelyn taught in the Big Bear School District. In 1996, the hotel became family owned and operated to include the owners' children, Christie and Craig.
Bartlett Building (Sherwood Forest Annex) This six-room office building was originally built to replace the Big Bear Chamber of Commerce building, which burned down in the 1980's. It was purchased in 1996, mostly to secure more parking spaces for the guests. Because of the pleasing lake views, the rooms were converted to hotel rooms, including private spas and handicap accommodations in 1999. One-half inch drywall was originally used but fire regulations required five-eighths, so the interior had to be completely redone.
Sherwood Forest Due to the success of the Bartlett building conversion, sixteen more units were built. The building was completed in late 2002 in just 6 months, certainly a Big Bear record. The results were due in part to the contractor, Construction Junction, and also to the framer, Hondo Construction, who put ten to twenty people on the job. The Sherwood Forest became Big Bear's luxury rooms.
Nottinghams Restaurant & Tavern The restaurant was completed in late 2003. It was a remodel of the old Mongolian Palace and, with the addition of the upstairs, required new footings, walls, joists, and well, just about everything. The high east end ceiling was upgraded for fire requirements. It was sold to a third party in 2020 and is not run by the Brewsters any longer.
It was a coin toss on whether or not to add the second level, the Tavern, and we're glad we did. Much of the lumber and rock came from the original Robinhood Inn Restaurant and was reused as outside trim. Our original chef, Poncho, and owner and manager, Craig, among others, could be seen driving the bobcat and working the jack hammer. We're all very proud of the results.
Wishing Well The Wishing Well and Robinhood Inn were once one motel, but were split in the 1970's. The 16-room Wishing Well Motel was purchased in 2005 to bring it all full circle.
Robinhood Inn The 21-room Robinhood Inn was purchased by the owners, Evelyn and Charles Brewster in 1994. Charlie, a Northrop retiree, ran the hotel while Evelyn taught in the Big Bear School District.
