Do NOT underestimate this hotel just because it's a smaller location!…read more For starters, the room had a refrigerator, microwave AND a closet with plenty of space to hang your clothes. Honestly, that's wild because some much more expensive hotels don't even offer all of that. Let's talk about the staff because everyone was SO friendly. From the GM, Cory, to the front desk, concierge, and security team, everyone was welcoming and helpful. You can really tell when a hotel has a good team, and this one does. Everything was also really clean, from the rooms to the lobby and even the back areas. And FREE PARKING?! That's always a win in my book. They're open 24/7 too, so honestly, what's not to love? But the biggest selling point for me, besides the views, was THE FOOD! I absolutely loved the chicken wings, steak fries, and burger. Everything was delicious. And breakfast? Also SO good ... and surprisingly affordable! Overall, this hotel really exceeded my expectations. Sometimes the smaller hotels are the ones that get overlooked, but this one absolutely deserves some love. Great staff, clean rooms, free parking, good food, great views, and affordable prices. I'd definitely stay here again!

We were not disappointed at all. Upon arriving, there was a musician playing, and they did seat us off to the right so we could not see but could hear still. There is outdoor and indoor seating, but at the time we came it appeared that the outdoor was reserved for an event. We happily sat inside! Having met Jeremy's parents earlier in the day who also recommended his restaurant, and they were just lovely, we had hoped to possibly meet Jeremy too. I wanted to try everything, but we opt on getting a few dishes to share. Our son ordered the filet mignon and they were able to substitute mashed potatoes for fries. Amazing!! The mac & brisket appetizer appeared to be the highlight and specialty and we just had to order it. Every bite was cheeesy and delicious with the brisket very moist. We couldn't go without ordering the Brussels sprouts and it had a twist with ponzu sauce and pineapple. Definitely a different take and I thoroughly enjoyed the taste. Every bite was foodgasmic and I highly recommend!!! I knew coming here that some Yelpers have experienced wavering in quality, so glad we did not experience that at all. As of the date that we came, we understood that the restaurant had been listed for sale, not sure if Jeremy sold it yet or not. I hope not, we plan on coming back this summer!

I usually don't even eat the bun but the bun was so good and there was enough meat that I was needing to separate the top and the bottom of the bun. So WE ARE STUFFED.

Our server, Arcy (please forgive me if I spelled your name wrong!) is always lovely and just a delight to be around. She is very knowledgeable and is very helpful with any questions we have. As far as the restaurant itself, it's very in touch with the mountain, cabin vibe. It's very comforting and a nice change from your average diner. It's safe to say that my family and I will come back as we've done the years before on our trips to Idyllwild.

My girlfriend was craving a fat, juicy, pink in the middle burger and the winner of the selection…read moretonight was The Lumber Mill. It was their unique burgers that caught our eye so we decided to come in and see what's good. The first thing I noticed is that their prices seem a bit pricey for a burger and fries but all the prices here in Idyllwild are elevated so these prices are in alignment with other restaurants. And for me as the prices get higher so does my scrutiny of the food and overall experience. My reason for 3 stars instead of 4 is price vs amount of food you get - and the fact that they charge $5 for a Dr. Pepper. That's a bit obscene in my books, so 3 stars. Now the details... I was gonna get a pastrami burger ($20.99) until I noticed the Bacon Lovers ($19.99) and I'm a huge bacon lover and this is the first time I've ever seen a bacon lovers burger so I had to go with it. It is a juicy beef patty stuffed with bacon bits & topped with American cheese, more bacon and 1000 island dressing served on a brioche bun. They cooked it to a perfect med rare and it was really good. It comes with your choice of side (fries, coleslaw, potato salad, baked beans or garlic mashed potato's. You can upgrade to fried pickes, zucchini, sweet potato fries, onion rings or corn nuggets for $2.50 and our waitress was raving about the beer battered onion rings so I chose those. The burger was great and so were the onion rings, however as you can see from the picture, there were not many onion rings AT ALL. I don't mind a $2.50 upgrade charge but give me some onion rings PLEASE!! Not happy about the quantity fr that upcharge! My girlfriend got the Wild Western burger ($20.99) which is a juicy beef patty topped with bacon, cheddar cheese, BBQ sauce & onion rings. She didn't really like it much. She also upgraded to fried zucchini and she didn't much care for those either. It seems like there are good things here and some not great things here. If there is something ypu want to try here, I would go through the reviews and see what people are saying about it. Again, I feel like I got taken advantage of with that up charge on the 6 onion rings they gave me, but they did deliver on how good they are. I would recommend doing your research before ordering here.

Sorry I don't have more pictures of what the family ordered, but I got the half rack of ribs, and it was tender and juicy and you must get an extra side of their barbecue sauce! What stood out? The service was great. The music from the DJ was lively ( if you want a quiet night, maybe sit outside where you're not too near the speakers). The loaded potato skins, mashed potatoes, and fries were also top notch, and I'm not even a potato guy! When the wife said the tortilla shell on her tostada salad was the best she's ever had, I thought she was just exaggerating. She was not! It was so good that I told my mom to try a bite, and she's usually resistant. One bite, and she asked, ooh can I have another piece? My dad, same thing. The fish tacos! Yes! There was a bit of cilantro in the salsa, and I don't like cilantro, but I didn't care. Everything was too good. Please get the fried fish too. The grilled fish, save that for another time and another place. My boy was in the mood for what I thought was a boring order of mac 'n cheese, and again I was proven wrong. He let me have a taste, and again it was top notch mac 'n cheese. Stop lying to yourself and giddy on up to the Rodeo Cafe already!
