Our Story

In July 2000, Val and Larry Culp (original owners) were set to transform Carlsborg’s ancient watering hole, the Keyhole Tavern, into Val’s stained glass studio. Then Val, a former waitress and accomplished cook, had an epiphany.
“I took another look around and decided we couldn’t let that beautiful old bar go to waste.” They decided to open a café instead and spent two hard years turning the old Keyhole into the unique, well-appointed restaurant it is today. Larry, a skilled craftsman, remodeled the old tavern in homage to the now defunct Carlsborg Lumber Mill across the road. Val’s gorgeous stained-glass pieces highlight the striking sawmill décor. The rustic charm and décor highlight the deep roots of the logging industry.
The Old Mill features home-style breakfasts and lunches, an extensive dinner menu for all tastes and a full bar featuring fine wines, draft ales and cocktails made from premium spirits. In addition to our regular menu, we offer specials every day for breakfast, lunch and Dinner.
Good service is important to us. Our servers are knowledgeable about our menu and can accommodate food allergies and restrictions. Gluten free items are available.

In May 2023, long term server, Savanha took over the reigns in hope to continue operating Val and Larrys success. Family and community is why Savanha, and her husband Christopher took over. Their goal is to continue to provide a family-oriented restaurant – where families come together to enjoy one’s company over a delicious meal.

We’ll see you soon!
