Welcome to our quaint and picturesque hideaway situated upon the uppermost reaches of California's largest spring-fed river, the Fall River.
AboutThe tavern is your perfect setting for happy hour, dinner, or Sunday brunch. Our dining room overlooks the Fall River and is serviced by our western-style kitchen led by Chef David Kurth . Chef David’s menu retains the hearty tastes of his past work while he explores new ideas for the 2019 season.
We offer a full-service bar managed by our lead bartender Quentin Johnston. Our heritage cocktails are named after local legends. Ask Quentin to mix you up a "Quigley Cripple", one of his more popular concoctions.
Seven rooms in the lodge are adjacent to the restaurant and can accommodate up to 14 overnight guests. The rooms are cozy with creature comforts including a keurig coffee maker, a small fridge, and updated bedding and linens. Each room has a queen bed and a euro lounger, suitable for a couple, a couple with child, or two friends.
Building on the Metzger's pioneering vision for a simple, rustic lodge in this equisite setting on the upper Fall River, we are embracing a few modern touches, a new variety of tastes to our food and beverage menus, and the highest level of service offered by your hosts Melissa and Quentin.
We are dedicated to preserving and conserving our special spot on the Fall River.
The upper Fall River has limited and low impact access and we support self-powered or electric-powered river travel. Our services are designed with an eco-friendly footprint. With a farm-to-table philosophy, we are featuring Hat Creek Grown grass-fed beed and partnering with Shasta Land Trust and Cal Trout to preserve this special place.
We don't want to change much but we think you should be able to book with OpenTable and have an eco-friendly, modern experience. Still the best fly fishing in California, but there is much more to enjoy.
