That's when we came across Redfish Lake Lodge. It was truly spectacular. It's just an Oasis in the middle of the wilderness. So we got a room for two nights. They have it all. Great restaurant, bar, outdoor grill area with ice cream and fast food, general store, pristine beach with all kinds of rentals. (kayaks peddleboats SUPs motor boats bikes etc.). They even had a band the second night we were there. The scenery is just incredible with the Sawtooth Mtns in the background. And all the people who work there are wonderful. And the most incredible hikes are literally at ur doorstep. The ferry is fabulous and they really go out of their way to transport you. And the clientele are all clean cut, classy outdoor people. No one was smoking weed or anything or drinking excessively. GO! THIS PLACE IS HEAVEN ON EARTH!

The Sawtooth Hotel Restaurant is one of the most unassuming restaurants where I experienced one of…read morethe most exceptional meals I've had the chance to enjoy in all of 2024. When you first walkup to the hotel, you are met with a very rustic, cabin-esque hotel building where you wouldn't expect to find such a fine dining experience. We were sat outside which presented the opportunity to enjoy a breathtaking view of the Sawtooth Mountain range. We ordered several dishes for our meal and every dish was just as amazing as the other! Bigwood Baguette: This was a great start to the meal! The baguette was baked to perfection and had the perfect amount of crunch to it. It comes topped with an herb oil and sea salt which added the most flavorful touch. Soup of the Day: Their soup of the day was a White Bean stew topped with rosemary and hern olive oil. The stew was rich without being too heavy and the seasoning was perfect. Soy Glazed Brussels: The soy sweet chili glaze had such a nice balance of sweetness and the slightest hint of spice. The crispy rice noodles and crumbled peanuts added such a nice textural contrast to the Brussel sprouts, which in my opinion were cooked to perfection! They were seared well without being too burnt or crispy. Beets & Burrata: Hands down one of the highlights of the whole meal. This dish came with a handful of components, that when paired together into one bite on a crostini, resulted in the most delicious amuse-bouche. The burrata was so light and fresh and I never knew that it was the perfect pairing with beets on a crostini. A MUST have. Columbia River Grilled Steelhead: Absolutely stunning. The Steelhead was executed beautifully and the mushroom asparagus risotto was cooked to perfection. Honestly, compliments to the chef for what seemed to almost be an experimental pairing with adding the sweet pesto and blueberry gastrique. Never could have I imagined these flavors being paired together atop a piece of salmon and I will not ever soon forget how flawless this dish was. Pork Schnitzel: This was my husband's dish which I did not have a bite of, but from what I could tell, the Pork Schnitzel was very well done. It was thinned out and tenderized very well and the breading looked like it was golden-crisped wonderfully. I did get to try the mashed potatoes and can remark that they were some of the best I've had! I had some of the lemon caper beurre blanc that was drizzled atop the dish and I would do anything to be able to have a jar of that at home. I am going to talk about this meal for a long time. If you are ever passing through Stanley, Idaho, it would be a giant mistake to not visit the restaurant at the Sawtooth Hotel.

Even though I knew I was looking for this place, I walked right past it. And when I walked in, I second guessed myself. "Is this really the spot with all the great reviews?" It is. The soup special was delicious. Apparently theirs is a whole town thing with making good soups and it shows. So tasty! And the banh min was delightful. Marinated nest that was flavorful without being too salty. Cucumbers, fresh and crunchy. Great beer selection. Super friendly servers/bartenders. Just get whatever special is in the board. That's my advice.

Riding: Ross the owner was helpful describing trails to take our kids. His directions + the Avenza app had us adventuring on trails for hours both days with dirtbikes and our sxs. Our kids made some core memories adventuring here for sure. The scenery was gorgeous and so fun to explore. Food: As enticed as I was by the other diners delicious looking food I kept seeing throughout our stay, at this point in our trip we really needed to cook the food we had in our trailer. So we didn't utilize the restaurant, except I did get an order of the wings for us to all try. They were delicious, perfectly crisp! We also got our kids vanilla milkshakes after a ride, and those were SUCH a tasty treat. They sell farm fresh eggs in the store and those were great too for our breakfasts, I wish I got another carton before we left. Facilities: The women's restroom was nice and clean, and so was their laundry room. If we're able to do another big road trip with the kids like this, The Sawmill Station is a place we definitely hope to visit again.
