Tu Tu' Tun Lodge

My husband and I recently stayed at TuTuTun Lodge for our 40th anniversary. As an architect, my husband was especially looking forward to the unique glass cabins along the Rogue River. While the cabins are scenic, the design is disappointing: they are quite small, and the king-size bed is positioned against one wall, leaving one person without a nightstand and forcing them to climb in and out of bed from the bottom--a very poor layout. More troubling, however, was what happened after our stay. I accidentally left several clothing items in the closet, including workout wear and a pair of designer pants I wore to our anniversary dinner. I called the lodge as soon as I realized, and staff assured me this happens often and that my items would be mailed. After two weeks with no package, I called again--only to be told that nothing had been found in the room. This was both disappointing and upsetting, as it's hard not to assume the items were taken. Between the poorly designed accommodations and the mishandling (or disappearance) of my belongings, this was not the anniversary experience we had hoped for. Sadly, we will not be returning.

October 2025 We just got back from the most magical stay at Tu Tu Tun Lodge! I went with 4 girlfriends and we rented Otter Point House. It was perfect for us! There was plenty of space to spread out and the bedding linens were of luxury high end quality. (I'm very picky about my linens, so this stood out to me!) Otter Point was also the only house with a private hot tub overlooking the river, which was a bonus! From what I could tell, all of the houses and rooms had balconies or porches overlooking the river, but I would double check that when booking, because we loved sitting out looking at the river, and then star gazing every night. The lodge has that perfect Oregon feel. It was high-end and special, without feeling fussy. There was a beautiful view of the Rogue River from every room and house. (Again, I think that's the case, but be sure to ceck and book a room with that amazing view) You could fly fish, kayak, paddle board, etc on the river. The sauna was down by the river in one of the Oods (glass cabins with 2 way mirrored glass) so you felt like you were in this little magical outdoor-nature sauna. The pool was delightful. It was chilly when we were there, but the pool was heated to 82*, so it was perfect after the sauna. There is also a beautiful deck for relaxing and reading while you are drinking your coffee, tea, or wine. Let me tell you about the food and the staff. Hannah and Derek were both unbelievable. Derek is the chef and between the 5 of us we sampled almost everything on the menu during the 4 nights were were there. Holy Moly!! Everything was delicious. (But if you are lucky enough to go when he has the Halibut on the menu, be sure to get it. I got it twice, because it was irresistible!! Hannah was the server extraordinaire! We even saw her setting up this amazing proposal site one night in a romantic corner of the property with flowers and flower petals and sparkly lights. I'm sure that was not a part of her job description. If you an ask for her to be your server, you should! I'm not sure how the owners found these two, but they deserve a raise! They anticipated our needs even before we knew we had them! On to the location. It was fantastic. It's on the Rogue River; it's close to all kinds of beautiful hiking trails; it's 10 minutes from the Pacific Ocean, where we walked along the beautiful coastline, and drove aalong the spectacular Pacific Coast Highway I very rarely write reviews (I'm usually just too tired and lazy when I get home from vacation to do so), but this place was so special I felt like I had to! The first thing I said to my husband when I got home was, "I want to take you there!" Read less

Our three night stay was so relaxing, and we felt really pampered. Our room was lovely and super comfy.....no TV was most appreciated. The staff made us feel very welcome, especially the highly efficient Hannah who saw to our needs in such a friendly, relaxed way. And the delicious food was only matched by the delicious views !

Overall experience was great. We did the glass River cabin ( small but a great experience) our friends did a first floor King room with patio and nice space with many comforts. This would be a 5 star if everyone was like Adrianna (bartender) - she waited on us for lunch, facilitated the cocktail mixology class and the fire pit experience our last night. Top notch service and personality! Would come back just to see her and experience her 5star service. The woman at check-in and our dinner waitress were blah and not really helpful ( not anything horrible but they were our first people we experienced the first day and night and not very excited in their roles or creative with our questions or desires - example we asked the check-in woman about the spa and couldn’t really help- waitress waited until we viewed the menu to order and once ordered she told us the items were not available - this should be communicated to customers right up front to help not have a negative experience). Pool was nicely heated and outdoor sauna was great. Pictures and amenities were on point.

An unexpected gem along the Pacific coast highway! My husband and I stayed in the river front glass cabin “Sparrow” during a road trip from San Francisco to Portland. Gold Beach was a nice stopping point. We were blown away by Tu Tu Tun Lodge and the special and unique experience offered! A charming yet elevated experience including the decor of the lodge, restaurant’s food and cocktails (best bread and cocktail I’ve ever had), warm and helpful staff, beautiful grounds, and very cool glass cabin. I never write reviews but felt compelled to do so for the Tu Tu Tun Lodge as I hope other travelers find their way there. We always stay at 5 star resorts around the world and although it’s not the same type of experience as the St. Regis, Four Seasons, and Ritz Carlton brands, the TTT Lodge ranks as one of the most pleasantly memorable hotels and just as enjoyable as the before mentioned hotel brands. Highly recommend!!
