Bishop Creek Lodge

I believe this place is recently under new ownership & the new family is doing a GREAT job — took over like pros. We just returned from a weekend stay in Cabin #1 and had a blast! The cabins are rustic and charming, and very clean. It’s not fancy, so if that’s what you’re looking for, motor on. But the bed was super comfy, the water in the shower got super hot and the room, kitchen and bathroom were all very clean and cozy!
There was no shortage of fun stuff to do, and the owner was great about giving advice on where to hike and where to fish. We love staying in the cabin, so we can cook our own meals, but if you’re up there and get a chance to dine in the lodge, I highly recommend it. We just grabbed a pizza in there, but it was OVER THE TOP delicious! You can tell the crust was from scratch, and the amount of cheese was just to die for!
The general store is well stocked, so if you forget to pack something (like I did) — no worries, they have it there and are open early and stay open late!
What else can I say? The property is very well maintained and very quiet. I’m attaching a picture from the front porch of Cabin #1– which speaks for itself. We will absolutely be back to this place… and SOON!

Been driving by here for years and read the reviews about the food and glad we stopped in.
The inside is really nicely decorated with mountain themes.
Now for the food. I had a bacon cheeseburger and my wife the BLT.
I would say the bread and bun were homemade but did not confirm that.
The food was very tasty but the burger was not quite as good as burger barn in Bishop.
The only draw back was the waitress sort of disappeared after our order and we had to flag her down to get some mayo. The cook delivered the food and I discovered no bacon so went to him and told him and he brought it out in about 2 minutes. Other than that they would have gotten a 5 and a better tip.
It was a little pricy for what you got but you are near nowhere.

An absolutely wonderful place for lunch. Great outdoorsy atmosphere, very friendly service (thank you Piper & Katie) and great food. My hamburger was the best I have ever had and I’m no youngster. The home made pie was absolutely incredible and we drove over 30 miles the next day just to buy a whole pie to take home. If you like beer make sure you try the Mammoth Mountain Amber Ale, it’s absolutely fantastic. For our taste this is as good as it gets for a eating establishment without breaking the bank. The portions were huge but the price was not. This is not a fancy place but very nice never the less. Will come back every time we are in town. If you are in the are, make sure you stop by this jewel of a place that was established back in the 1920’s!

We just got home yesterday from a two night stay in the Honeymoon Cabin. It is a charming old cabin with great energy. It is one big room with queen bed, a unique picnic table, a large open space between bed and kitchen area. The bathroom was small but quaint, and the shower was clean. Overall I loved the cabin. The hospitality was a little indifferent though. When we arrived at check-​in time the Lodge store was closed. We looked around and found a guy on the grounds that said the keys were inside the cabin on the table. That’s it. We had planned on eating there at the restaurant but it was closed. The next morning we went into the lodge for the continental breakfast fare, and it is a really old log cabin with lots of personality. The breakfast pastries were tasty and there were several to choose from but I didn’t see anything else to eat. The managers was there but not overly friendly, They did not ask us how things were or if we needed anything. We inquired about the restaurant and were told they closed at six. The saloon also closed at six. They did not seem like they wanted us to eat there. they both seemed burned out,
and we felt like we were un-​invited guests in their home. We were there to fish and to have to get there at 5 pm to eat and be done by 6 pm seemed pushing it. I really did want to try their steak. We ended up picking up take out from Holy Smoke BBQ in town and re– heating it after we finished fishing. When we got back to the cabin at 6:45 pm there were several patrons stilll there at the restaurant and It was about another hour before they closed. Overall the resort is charming, and I would like to stay there again, but maybe in the peak season when the hours are longer.

Spaten on tap! Thats a win for sure, Killer view towards the bishop creek community. They have a killer menu that serves some jammin criss cut fries. If your one of those cell phone addicts theres the green square of service just across the street. See you soon!

I’ve been lucky enough to hang at the Bishop Creek Lodge annually since 2006.
Our group goes up to camp and fish and hike and drink beer (lots of beer).
Bishop Creek Lodge is ALWAYS a stop (usually multiple times during a trip) for ice, grocery, bait, wood, maybe a shower, sometimes to eat but ALWAYS to drink in the bar or on the patio (weather permitting). They are also an official site to weigh your catch!
The service is friendly and seems genuinely happy to see us return. The food is good-​burgers, grilled cheese and even steak! It’s not cheap, but worth it! The stories in the bar are always tall.
I can’t wait to visit in 2012!
I love Bishop Creek Lodge (I even bought a purple sweatshirt there last week cuz I needed one one morning for about a minute)!

This review is for their restaurant–
Lunch is average fare, reasonably priced.
The location is soooo cool, it’s kinda middle of nowhere, fishing lodge feel with beautiful views…
Dinner is VERY VERY romantic– fireplace, cozy, rustic, etc. and very good quality food!
Great selection of premium meats, well done side dishes, and HOMEMADE americana dessert.
This is a welcome charming and relaxing reprieve from camping.
I highly recommend if you are camping in the area or have the «pleasure» of staying in Bishop– It is worth the drive for dinner for sure!

I never go fishing in the Eastern Sierra without stopping off at the Bishop Creek Lodge to load up on gear and the goods on where the fish are biting.
Some city folk stay in the cabins (I prefer to rough it in the wild with only an axe and two matches) but the bait and tackle shop is top notch. Roy is always quick to point out which streams the fish are biting and when the rough weather is headed in (I really wish I listened to him last time when I was nearly froze to death in a thunderstorm).
And when you are done roughing it (i.e. sweaty and haven’t showered in a week) head back to the BCL for a goodbye beer and trudge yourself back into boring city life.
