Tu Tu' Tun Lodge

We always enjoy Tu Tu Tun but do wish that they would bring back the family style dinners. The chance to meet and connect with other guests over a shared meal was what set the lodge apart from other nice properties on the coast. The highlight from this visit was probably the kitchen. The quality of the food was excellent and maybe elevated from our previous visits. Areas for improvement - the service seemed to struggle at times - maybe due to the number of guests or possibly some distraction hosting the owner’s family for the holiday celebrations.

We stayed for two nights in the off season at the end of November. Dinner was fantastic- comparable to any exemplary fine dining restaurant that we’ve been to. The grounds were peaceful and the rooms comfortable. We stayed in a traditional room, not the glass cabins. Unfortunately, after being asking when to schedule turndown service (during our dinner reservation), we returned from dinner without our room being reset. The first morning’s coffee in the lodge and breakfast also had a delayed start. Overall the staff was very kind and our massages were rejuvenating. Perhaps during peak season, the lodge’s operations are more organized.

Tu Tu’ Tun Lodge was exactly the reset my fiancé and I have been needing. We stayed in a River Glass Cabin and the views were absolutely serene and unreal. The beds and pillows were insanely comfortable and the cabin was SPOTLESS! The sunset on the river turned the water gold and the whole space felt quiet and magical. It was our 8 year anniversary and we spent a perfect afternoon by the heated pool, then wandered into the sauna after and it was pure bliss. Chef Derek was WORLD-CLASS, the 40-day dry-aged Denver cut and beef filet were perfectly cooked and easily the best steak meal I’ve ever had. We left feeling more connected to each-other, nature & the world. We are already dreaming up our next trip!

Cozy upscale cabin vibe along the Rogue River. A place to celebrate special occasions. We loved the heated pool and sauna, both with beautiful views of the river. Dinner is special and delicious. Special cocktails and an amazing wine list. Comfy beds with great quality linens. Plenty of thought, care and attention to make everything comfortable. I love the turndown service at night. We will definitely go back.

Imagine a place by a river, rustic on the outside with a comfortable elegance inside. Surrounded by so much beauty it was easy to fall into a completely relaxed state of mind and body; we are hoping to return soon. We totally enjoyed our dining experience. Exquisite food served in an intimate romantic setting with knowledgeable, personable and professional service. A huge thank you to Hannah for making our evening a memorable one. Appreciation to Anna for helping us to choose the perfect room which we absolutely loved.

This was my second time staying at Tu Tu Tun, and it just keeps getting better and better! My first visit was back in August 2019 when we stayed in one of the large houses on the property. It was the perfect setup, plenty of space and privacy for our family, but still with full access to all the incredible amenities. That time of year, their gardens were in full bloom and absolutely magical. They had deer on the property that let us feed them right out of our hands. It was like a storybook! So when my twin sister and I planned our road trip from Portland to Los Angeles, I knew Tu Tu Tun had to be one of our stops. This time, we visited in October, and while the weather was a bit chillier, it was every bit as beautiful. We had dinner at the restaurant for the first time, and it completely exceeded our expectations, truly world-class cuisine and a fantastic wine selection! Everyone on the property was so kind and helpful, the rooms were spotless and beautiful, and the feather pillows made for an incredibly comfortable night’s sleep. Even the toiletries were lovely. Tu Tu Tun is one of those special places that only gets better with time, and I’ll absolutely continue coming back again and again.

Truly magical spot. We stayed for 3 nights but it felt like a month thanks to the calming and luxurious experience. The glass cabins are just as impressive as they look online, we had a riverside spot and it was so nice to watch the birds each morning. What took the experience over the top was the Hive + Honey spa! The treatments are also done in the glass cabins so you are surrounded by nature, ultimate relaxation. The spa package was incredible, I had the best facial of my life in the lavender cabin. The products smelled amazing. Loved the service so much that I also booked a massage on our final day. Between the cabins, the spa and the lodge grounds I left feeling rejuvenated for weeks beyond our stay. Can't wait to return soon!

When looking for a tranquil location to unplug, Tu Tu’ Tun Lodge is the spot. From the moment you drive onto the property the stress melts away. The rooms were thoughtful in design, from the thoughtful French press with ground coffee and fresh cream in the fridge, to the dimming light fixtures, and let’s not forget the Toto bidet. We upgraded to the Japanese soaking tub room and absolutely 10 out of 10 must splurge if you enjoy a good soak. The sauna facing the river is so peaceful and relaxing. Once you’re on the property there isn’t much need to leave if you’re looking to stay in one place. There are plenty of places to sit and soak in then views, in the colder months the stunning river rock fireplace is cracking, and there are plenty games to keep you entertained. Let’s talk about the food and drinks….. wow, the farm-to-table menu is outstanding! Hats off to the chef, absolutely amazing food!! Our second night the fall drink menu changed, and my husband got the Dr Douglas and I got the Spiced Brazilian- oh my goodness, so good! Also, save room for dessert, if not get it to go- you won’t regret it at all. Lastly, you’ll see the owner around, he’s super friendly and ready to help recommend a game, wine, etc.. the whole staff goes above and beyond making sure they remember the smallest of details to ensure you feel like the only guest staying with them. Next time I plan on getting a treatment at the spa. Yes, we can’t wait to come back and spoil ourselves again and maybe bring some friends!

We got to cozy up in these gorgeous glass cabins right on the Rogue River. It was an excellent place to grab my book, sit in the sauna, take a dip in the heated pool & unwind. ‍ Plus our elegant dinner at the lodge was exceptional, each drink & every dish was an exquisite work of art What we ate: Seared Salmon // Beet + Farro Risotto, Pomegranate & Kale Shishito Peppers // Ponzu, Sesame & Sea Salt Beef Carpaccio // Chive Aioli, Pickled Onions, Delicata & Grana Padano Blue Fin Tuna Toast // Sourdough, Roasted Peppers, Nduja & Stracciatella Remy Aronia Sour // Remy Martin, Aronia Berry & Lemon Dr Douglas // Bulleit Rye, Douglas Fir Spruce Syrup & Angostura

Pro: 1) Hannah the Manager was incredibly effective whether she was checking people in or making a killer Manhattan at the bar. Her kindness and competence were appreciated and admired. 2) Brook, a server, went out of her way to be friendly and informative about anything to do with the menu or service. 3) Heated pool open 24 hours a day. 4) Nice grounds right on the river. Con: 1) No trails near the Lodge that are within walking distance even though they mention great hiking on their website. 2) The pool lights and lights on the outdoor stairs stay on all night which considerably cut down seeing stars from your porch. 3) There's no Air Conditioning or ceiling fans when it gets hot and it does get hot. 4) The menu is pretty limited in choices and there's no where to get any food outside serving hours. The menu is very pricy too. $34 for a very ordinary hamburger for lunch. A Manhattan drink cost $29.50. 5) You can't tip anybody which sounds great except that they add 18% to your entire bill to pay for that. It's one thing to add 18% automatically to your dinner bill but to add 18% to your nightly room rate every night, when rooms are expensive is pretty absurd. 5) Mini bar completely empty. Overall, we really liked the people working there but the Lodge itself is far away from a 4 or 5 star experience even though the room rates are 4 or 5 star prices.

I love the natural setting and the aesthetic of this lodge, it has beautiful surroundings and is so peaceful. The rooms are thoughtfully appointed, designed with rest and relaxation in mind. And the lodge offers a variety of activities for guests to enjoy during their stay as well as a lovely sitting area in the lobby and onsite dining. So I had super high expectations of an amazing experience. And while our experience was great, it wasn't exceptional. When staying at a place like this, I expect near flawless service. On the morning of check out, I had placed the "privacy please" sign on our door so that we could get a bit of extra sleep prior to our departure. Not even 5 minutes later, a staff member knocked on the door and when I answered, they said "oh sorry, never mind" and walked away. Mind you, it was hours before we were expected to check out, so I'm not sure what they could have needed from us at that time. While this is a small incident, at a place like this, I fully expect the staff to honor the privacy signs and to only disturb with a legitimate reason. Of course we're all human and all make mistakes but it was a disappointing incident. However, I would still recommend this lodge and taking the time to experience it for yourself. *Also note: when traveling to the lodge, use Google Maps for navigation. We used Waze and it took us the long way, around about on an old one lane road that was scary, especially in the dark. The hotel provides a warning about this in their confirmation email, but it's located all the way at the bottom and it was TLDR! My mistake.

An Oregon treasure. The natural beauty and warm atmosphere make this a special destination. I loved the bedding and the private deck overlooking the Rogue River and stunning trees across. We both had massages in the mini glass cabins - highly recommend! Our dinners were phenomenal. We tried the halibut, shoshito peppers, potatoe wedges (wow!), one of the pasta options and cocktails. The heated pool and sauna by the river were my favorite things!! The fireplace was crackling from morning to night! I can't wait to go back!! Oh! Almost forgot the e bikes! Great quality bikes and lovely roads to explore-so much natural beauty!!

This is an ethereal bit of shire where there shouldn't be one. Sublimely restorative zone of peace and elegance. Where else encourages and well prepares you for wood fires in room? Do bring a bag of gold for the endless but expensive wine list in the restaurant, but the wines provided in rooms are very reasonable. Wives and ex-wives will love this place. $$$

Customer for life. We stayed here during our elopement weekend, I'd been corresponding with the GM beforehand for some special requests and she was wonderfully accommodating. This lodge is remote, beautiful, incredibly well maintained, the appointments in the rooms are comfortable, clean, light and airy. The details are so intentional and thoughtful, roses for our special weekend, cookies at turndown, fresh local coffee grounds for your in room french press- that's right- no coffee machine here! I loved our stay and I cant wait to return. A place like this is certainly outside our budget, so its lovely when a splurge is justified. The crew at the restaurant is also amazing, the team is so friendly and the food is top notch. I hope to explore the spa and river activities next time we return!

First time visiting in the summer, and what a special spot. We started with cocktails on the deck overlooking the river -- such a peaceful and beautiful setting. The melon and mint appetizer was incredibly unique and bursting with flavor, and the grilled apricot with burrata was absolutely perfect. For our mains, we had the halibut and the salmon -- both unbelievably fresh and cooked to perfection. We truly didn't expect to find food of this caliber in Gold Beach, but now we know where to go. Hats off to Chef Derek for crafting such a thoughtful, delicious menu. We can't wait to return.

Beautiful setting, wonderful rooms, delicious food. No major issues at all. An absolute joy. The only (small) problem we had was with service during breakfast. We sat outside and the waiter walked by at least three times and didn't even acknowledge we were there; other people around us were given menus and served their breakfast and we just sat there as if we were invisible. We eventually moved inside and were served quickly. The sommelier is also also a bit intense during dinner and doesn't listen well: my husband asked about white wines by the glass and the sommelier launched into a long monologue trying to get us to buy an expensive bottle and then kept pouring wine for me (again, trying to get us to buy an expensive bottle and assuming my husband was ordering for both of us) even though I didn't ask for or want wine. He needs to listen to what people are asking and not foist wine onto people who don't drink (or assume men are ordering for women).

It's disappointing that instead of taking responsibility, management chose to insult me with false claims about my behavior. I was never intoxicated or disruptive -- that's simply their way of discrediting an unhappy guest. The facts remain: I was served a steak burnt beyond edible, and when I sent it back, the same piece was returned from the kitchen with the server saying there was nothing more she could do. Pricing was inconsistent, service was dismissive, and their "point-by-point" reply is full of excuses. The refund they issued says it all -- the experience was unacceptable. Future guests should know that honest reviews may be met with personal attacks instead of accountability

We were looking for a special experience to celebrate our 23rd anniversary. Dinner at Tu Tu Tun met and exceeded our expectations. Our server was top notch, a true professional who made us feel at home, provided the perfect level of service and privacy. We enjoyed Cowhorn wine and started with the Burrata with Variations of Beets, Granny Smith, Macadamia. It was beautiful! Dinner of beef filet and Bucatini Amatriciana. We had sides of Brussel sprouts and wedge potatoes. We also enjoyed pistachio tiramisu which was dreamy and creamy. All dishes were beautifully presented and most importantly tasted great. The lodge restaurant was peaceful and casually elegant with a large floor to ceiling stone fireplace situated in front of the bar. There was a lovely and accomplished piano player. During our conversation she played our wedding march song of Canon in D Major by Pachebel. We couldn't believe it. We gasped as this was a wink from God validating our union was a true celebration. We were overwhelmed with emotion. After dinner we decided to take a walk down to the river. It was very peaceful and to our surprise a full rainbow right in front of us. Amazing! What a special evening and dinner. Truly memorable.

We stayed at Tu Tu Tun half a dozen times before it changed hands, and the change from a very personal, intensely hospitable, inn to a maxed-out corporate style hotel is a head slapper. Why? It's so hard to do the first thing, and so easy to just follow the standard Marriott Resort playbook. Abandon family style service, install a menu that could be anywhere in L.A., fill up the wine list with thousand dollar bottles, expand the craftsman-style retreat by adding ultra-modern cubes made of glass and steel and call them "cabins.". When you're in a place where there's no national park or obvious tourist attraction, the lodge itself has to be the attraction. It already was. Why make it look and run like a corporate retreat?

The upscale facility and picturesque location are first rate. The staff is friendly and they try, but things fell through the cracks quickly and too many times. The Lodge wants to be a high-end destination place and they charge premium prices, but we seemed to experience one aggravation after another. The first quirk was when we found the previous guest's underwear in our nightstand drawer. That's a turn-off. Our room was near the pool (not by choice) with a pool-side speaker playing annoying, loud music. No one was even at the pool so I politely asked the desk to turn it off. They said they would, but didn't. I asked again and it went off for a little while and then was back on! We had to keep our sliding door closed to help mute it. My wife and I were looking forward to making an appointment at their spa. The desk person said she couldn't do it (wasn't her job, I guess) and gave us a phone number to call. No one ever answered the phone, so no spa treatments. We told them our room security lock box was not working and it was never fixed. The radio didn't work either. We booked a specific table at their restaurant. Of course, they dropped the ball, gave it away, and stuck us in a corner. They got our meal orders wrong twice on two occasions. Other things as well, but you get it...disappointment was ever present. At checkout, the young lady at the desk asked if we enjoyed our stay. I said unfortunately there were a number of issues. She replied. "Oh. too bad. Would you like your receipt e-mailed or printed" An opportunity lost to address concerns. No care on her part whatsoever which is a sad reflection of the Lodge's attitude. Whatever the reasons are, they need to up their game for customer service and satisfaction. Unfortunately, our stay fell way short of expectations.

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.

Tu Tu Tun Lodge is a beautiful space - the river is stunning, the pool and sauna are very relaxing, food is delicious and the rooms are comfortable. The staff is very kind, but we had multiple challenges that were not handled well including a situation with keys as well as two different issues with payments. This included a dinner that was incorrectly charged to our room and being charged for our stay twice. Many of the staff are very young and I am not sure they have received the appropriate or proper training for managing these issues. They repeatedly told me that all charges were correct. When I did ask to speak to a manager, I was told repeatedly that I had made the error, even though I had evidence on my invoice and credit card statements in front of me. The individual I spoke to interrupted me, spoke over me, and did not apologize for the errors that had been made. My most recent call regarding the double charge for our stay was not returned. For how expensive this lodge is and the professional, high quality services they claim to provide, I was severely disappointed with the customer service. While the area is beautiful, I cannot say I would recommend working to solve problems with their staff.

We arrived in the dark and the cozy warm beautifully decorated room with fireplace made us immediately feel at home. The view we woke up to took our breath away. We were welcomed in the lodge for breakfast which was of outstanding quality. Deirdre was serving us with such kindness and devotion, making sure all of our needs were met. It felt we were immersed in a most precious slice of Paradise and hope to make it back someday for sure. Perfection all around. Thank you

This is the place where the quote "money talks, wealth whispers" made sense to me. This place is harmonious quiet luxury and I'd like to gatekeep it

What a wonderful place to escape and relax. My husband and I loved everything about our stay. From the gorgeous view from our patio to the main lodge, we were surrounded by beauty. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals and getting to meet new people at dinner. The grounds are stunning and you can really decompress and unwind. We are already talking about when we can go back!

There are no words to describe how much I love this place, but I'll try. I've stayed in places ranging from huts with no water to the Ritz-Carlton. Let me explain why this place is my FAVORITE OF ALL TIME: 1. Value. For the price you pay, you absolutely get what you pay for. I think the room rates are reasonable (approx 260 per night before tax and fees for a king fireplace room). The room is DELUXE. Heated bathroom floors, super fancy bidet, luxe toiletries by l'Occitane, no stains, chips, or dirty anything in the room, Nespresso machine in the room, spring water from the tap, luxury linens, and the absolute best view of the rogue river. 2. Service. You want to talk about the nicest, friendliest people ever? Just chat with the staff here. Kind, accommodating, and anything I asked for I was given. I've never had better service at any place I've ever stayed. 3. The actual lodge is pretty cool. If you up for socializing or hanging with others, this small lodge has a bar. There's a huge fireplace, so it's warm and has a good vibe. 4. Rogue river. Ok, so my husband and I are rockhounds, so this was paradise. However, I imagine this place is amazing in the summer when you can swim in the river! The fishing looks to be choice as well. It's on a totally private, quiet stretch. We saw bald eagles swooping down catching fish while eating breakfast in the morning. It's just so beautiful, peaceful, and serene here. I cannot wait to return. We were here celebrating our ten year anniversary and this the most romantic, perfect place to get away. We loved it so much we came back two days later. They left us notes and gifts both times. Thank you to all the staff at the lodge for making our experience so fantastic!!!

Tu Tu' Tun Lodge was the trip of a lifetime. For starters, the views of the mountains and river are beautiful, especially when sitting in the glass sauna. All of the food I had was amazing thanks to Chef Derek and the rest of the welcoming staff. The cabins are extremely nice with WiFi, TV's, comfortable beds, and huge glass windows to see the views. One of my favorite things we did was take a jet boat 26 miles upstream to witness the miles and miles of land untouched by human. Overall this experience was one of one, and I highly recommend!

I'm writing on behalf of my mother as tech is not her strong suit and I feel very strongly about her experience here. From her words: This was an absolutely horrible customer service experience. I feel very hurt by the things said to me during my stay here The staff here gave major preference to a group who was staying at the lodge and treated me like an outsider. I had reservations that got pushed back an hour for this group, I was forced to eat in the library... when I went to get my food a staff member told me "enjoy that because you aren't getting seconds..." This is not my first time at the lodge, so I was very hurt by the way I was treated.

Unreal spot. The sauna combined with the pool and river was my favorite part. Also, special shout-out to chef Derek!

Molly Y. It took you six months to respond to my somewhat low review of our last stay. I think most readers would say this speaks for itself. I don't see us returning for another chance for a poor visit. Thank you..

New ownership since Jan 2024 is causing service and food experience to slip significantly. New owner is riding the coat-tails of previous owner reviews and can't back it up. Almost all new staff, new chef and management which would rather drink a bottle of wine at the bar than engage with their customers. This place is not what it once was. 18 percent surcharge on everything (room, food, drinks) seems excessive. $95 for dinner, $25 for a martini, $25 for breakfast.... And plus 18 percent seems like a rip off. No problem paying for an excellent stay when service comes with it, but this establishment has a long way to back up the price vs value equation. Tip - eat in Gold Beach!

Condé Nast Traveler has never lead me astray, until now. They included the Tu Tu' Tun in their Oregon Coast recommendations, as it is technically in Gold Beach. However, the 9 acre property is actually 20 minutes inland from the coast, down a narrow, winding road. This may sound wonderfully remote, but after dark, the drive is difficult. Named after the Tututni Native American tribe who, according to the hotel, "mysteriously disappeared" from the area in 1930 (come on, we know that really happened lol), this re-fabbed motel (ahem, "lodge") sits right on the Rogue River. At night, you cannot see anything, but during the day the view is beautiful. Lush greenery, flowers galore, and the peaceful river. We arrived at 6pm after a long drive from California. The receptionist seemed annoyed when I asked to check in, and further displeased that we did not have dinner reservations. We were not interested, because menu is pre-fixe, and served indoors. I am vegetarian, and we are not comfortable dining at an indoor restaurant at this stage in the Covid-19 pandemic. We were starving, and realized that eating at the resort is your only option, unless you want to drive 20 minutes each way on the scary road in/out of town. No room service! Dine in only. I booked a Corner Deluxe King Room, which was over $500/night after tax. We were greeted with a plate of Costco cookies. The room was the exact size and layout of your average Motel 6, but with a fireplace and small patio. The deep soaking tub was not as appealing as I expected, and definitely not big enough for two people. The bathroom was cramped, with a toilet that ran and made noise all night. Redeeming qualities included the comfortable bed and high thread count Italian linens, and the sturdy blackout curtains that ensured a good nights sleep. The lobby is a gorgeous communal area, but was filled with elderly guests drinking wine, without a mask in sight. We skipped breakfast and left first thing in the morning.

Peaceful, luxurious, friendly. Thanks for the gorgeous stay. I arrived around seven after calling ahead and the wonderful staff had arranged to make sure that I got dinner. The dinner was gourmet and served on my patio!

Went here for my birthday and it didn't disappoint! It was perfect from the service to the rooms to the food to the views to the company. I could recommend this place more.

Great stay every time I go. The service is phenomenal and they're always helpful and welcoming. The bed is comfortable and the bedsheets are soft and luxurious. I recommend this lodge to everyone I meet.

One of our most favorite places ever in the world for over a decade has been a fantastic getaway for our family and we love coming back every time. Great accommodations and staff, in a beautiful setting off the river.

Staff will call you up to 15 times to ask if you want to make reservations for dinner. This doesn't include at least 10 or more text messages regarding the same question. Although, the text message indicates clearly if you wish to make reservation call this 800 number. However, if you do not provide a response to phone call or text with response, they'll call & text you again. After finally answering the 5th call in under 24 hours on the day of our arrival, we answered & the woman stated, "Hi, we see you're staying with us this evening do you want to join us for dinner?" I kept my demeanor professional, asked what was on the menu and then explained I have far too many food restrictions & would be unable to join. She almost didn't hear me clearly as she persisted with, "Are you sure?" I politely said yes & let her know I'd be checking in between 4:45 - 5 PM. She said great, "See you then." A few minutes before 4 PM, prior to our arrival, I received a text message asking if I would be getting to the lodge soon as my massage therapist was there waiting for my 4 o'clock appointment. Mind you the woman on the phone who is eager to get me to sign up for dinner never mentioned a word of a massage. I again took a deep breath got some patience and responded in a brief text message that I had never received a call text or email confirming a massage for the day of my arrival at 4 PM. They did not respond. When I checked into the front desk the receptionist mentioned briefly that they were sorry and these kind of things happen. She did not choose to ask if I would like to schedule another appointment seeing as I was there for two days. No mention of it, no complimentary 'we're sorry' expressed, and received the typical lodge hours, happy hour, and glasses in room for drinking a beverage, and a bell would sound when appetizers were out. A 'bell' really? Upon arriving into my room and wanting relax, unwind, and get a refreshment I pulled out not one but all six glasses that were filthy dirty with water spots lip marks on the rim etc. so I did not use any of them. Although I was in no mood to request clean glasses from reception, I did wash one and was hopeful that the hot water in the sink would be enough to kill the germs. Throughout the course of the night you can hear all other guest as the walls are paper thin. As a first time guest I was also put in a room at the foot of the steps from parking lot, and the stairwell to upper floors. If you think you're coming to a nice lodge spa Zen retreat as they like you to think, think again you can't sleep in past eight as the people in the next room are blasting their radio, housekeeping kept knocking on my door, you can hear guests talking, and even urinating above your head, and oh yes the front desk called again to ask if you would like to have dinner with us tonight because I was staying for a second night. Wow!? Mind you they never asked if I wanted to schedule a massage session that I had requested two weeks prior to my stay. Also when I had asked to cancel the second night over seven days in advance as their cancellation policy states on their website, I was told no, in case the hotel was unable to rebook my room. However looking on line it clearly shows that the lodge was booked to full capacity therefore they would've easily been able to rebook my room. No apologies for constant incompetence, over zealous eager to up sale dinner for an additional $125+ (per night), spoke with over 4 individuals, received at least 20+ 'touch points' regarding services I NEVER received & charge an additional 23.5% in lodging & service fees - per night totally almost $700.00 for 2 nights. This lodge, its owner, and all staff members are the most unprofessional group of people who are highly incompetent and unable to provide customer service. We have stayed in many authentic luxurious spa hotels, this one doesn't even deserve half a star! It's an over rated Motel 6 at best! Furthermore, I am highly allergic to cats and woke up the next morning with my eye completely swollen shut however they do not allow service animals but then show the owner with his black lab and cat who apparently are allowed to walk around the hotel and greet guests & cause an allergic reaction to an unassuming guest who understood the lodge was NOT 'pet friendly' makes absolutely no sense. I've let my family members & friends who suggested the lodge, they need to refrain from doing so as I have never received such horrendous customer service with non sanitized glasses, no booking appointments when guest request, do not honor their cancellation policy (although in todays world 99.9% of hotels practice)

Our family stayed here for three nights and it was perfect. We have two teenagers so we stayed in the Garden House. There are a few other stand-alone houses and the rest of the lodge is like a hotel. Our house had a full kitchen, 1.5 baths, and two bedrooms. There is an extra bed you can pull out of the closet if need be (our oldest son slept on that). The French bedsheets, towels and L'Occitaine toiletries were all top-notch. Bonus: there is a lodge cat named Woody that came into our house one night and slept with our son. Definitely an unexpected, nice surprise. There is plenty to do here. You can swim in their heated lap pool, lounge on a chair by the Rogue River, take a jet boat ride, kayak, hike or just loaf around. We also went off property and visited the local beach (Port Orford) and went for a hike on the Humbug trail (moderate difficulty level). The breakfast and lunch were first class. The chef has worked here for eight years and puts together incredible meals. One night we had prime rib, broccolini with edible flowers, mac and cheese, fresh popovers, and a chocolate cake with homemade ice cream. You eat at a large round table and are served family style with other guests. This may not be for everyone, but we met wonderful people. Two ladies we dined with one night were on their 23rd stay at that property. Wow! Meeting other interesting people from different parts of the country (and the world) was definitely a treat. The service is warm, friendly, and 5-star. Fodor's, Condé Nast Traveler, and other lists have placed this hotel at the top in the country in world. Who knew this little spot in Southern Oregon could hold such an amazing treasure? Our family plans to return next summer. We loved it and were all sad to leave.

3.5 stars, it is a nice area but over priced in my opinion. Rooms are nice but small and somewhat cramped. the shower/bath is nothing special for $300+/night and ran out of hot water. Internet was spotty and you often lost it. They are known for their food and communal dining. While it was fun to sit with other guests, the food was just OK at dinner and not good for breakfast. No place on their website does it list the price of any meal. At $75/per person (w/o drinks) for dinner, it should have been better. $25/per person for breakfast, the meal should have been more than room temperature. Plus we stayed in off season so i'm certain in season room prices are much higher and meals may be as well. it is a quiet peaceful place. wish food was better

It's pretty hard to summarize what a night or weekend is like here without truly experiencing it, but everyone is on the right page reviewing it. Setting: Pristine - right on the Rogue River (with its own dock if you're taking a boat tour) with a small lap pool and gorgeous gardens surrounding it all. The flowers you find inside were all culled from outside so you have that wonderful seasonal drive throughout the entire experience. From just about the moment you arrive, everyone seems to know your name. You are greeted by the owner, Kyle, and he remembers the greatest little details about everyone, so when he introduces you to those sharing your dinner table, he keeps some personal flair to get the ball rolling. There are appetizers and beverages to be had as the appetizer bell brings everyone in. Not all bartenders are created equal (I found this out the hard way when refilling my Old Fashioned), but everyone is darn near trying their hardest to keep you happy. The little appetizer session is over and you're rung in to dinner. You can pay extra to be seated off to the side, but it's not that awkward to get to know everyone who's staying around you, and it adds to your atmosphere throughout the day(s) ahead. Chef Gil and his counterparts (like Ben) make sure you know what you're served, where it's from, and why it's going to rock your world. I was leery heading in know there's not really a choice and I'm quite the picky eater, but they've got it down pat. If you're a gluten free person or have other dietary restrictions, just let the kitchen know in advance and they'll have you covered. By the time you roll out from eating, your bed has been turned down, you have some fresh bottled water on your nightstand, and some white chocolate (yuck) waiting for you on the night stand. There's no TV for you to blind yourself to the beauty around you, just the screened double doors to your balcony and the river plus all the stars beyond. There are also deer that seem completely unfrightened by the guests - approaching in groups, or just heading up to your balcony... There are massages and hiking trails, and all other kinds of goodies to keep you entertained, or you can just curl up with a book, sit by the river, or head out into Gold Beach (a windy road trip away). Breakfast there is on your own - and absolutely delicious (especially the jumbleberry French Toast), and you can even sit where you want if you want to spread out. There's always breads/muffins/granola and the like, plus a hot dish to choose or just eggs and sausage or bacon. I know there's some kind of lunch offering too, but I was too busy exploring (and way too full from breakfast) to really partake. Such a great experience, and two nights there was definitely not enough for one stay. We'll have to figure our way back - worth most every penny.

Horrible customer service. We came in contact with two employees the first 20 minutes of arriving who both interrogated us asking if we're guests and questioned us using the facilities. Such an unwelcoming environment and wanted to leave within an hour of our 2 day stay. Super fun experience. Don't recommend. Save your money and stay somewhere else if you're looking for any sort of pleasant hospitality. Everyone is extremely stuck up and rude.

Heaven on earth! Worth every penny. Get a deluxe room for a magical toilet experience!

Unlike many of the guests here who are retired and can afford to stay here, I saved for months to take two days to relax and enjoy what I had hoped would be a relaxing stay. The resort has many positive things going for it, like the location, view, weather and great overall design. The interiors have obviously been updated and the food is amazing. Nespresso in the rooms, furniture by Dedon and coffee service pieces by Rosenthal are a nice touch. Bath and body items from L'Occitane are lovely. Landscaping around the property is also very well done. Customer service was horrible. When i first arrived, they said "name?" instead of "welcome, we are so glad you are here." Front desk told the other staff member to check me in because she was too busy. They then told me they had to switch me to another room on my second night because they had another couple checking in for two nights and didn't want to put THEM out...and since i was travelling alone, it should not be a problem for me! I asked if there was a restaurant and the front desk said "we don't call it a restaurant here, it's called the dining room. Didn't anyone go over this with you in advance?" and I said no.... I recently had back surgery and chose to stay here because of the heated pool, but when i went to go swim, it was freezing....front desk said it was heated, but i guess it was probably around 78 degrees....."is it possible to increase the temperature?" they said "nope" and then turned around and left. I did not know about how food service was done here and everyone seemed shocked that they had to explain it to me. yes, the food is amazing and all hand-crafted, but dinner is all about smoke and mirrors. I don't mind paying $70 for a meal, but the entire meal and all its courses were all carbs, breads, more carbs, more bread, a salad and the smallest piece of salmon I had ever seen...3 bites maximum. Lots of filler, very little protein. I went back to the room and ate a bag beef jerky. The meal probably cost them around $13 total to make + all the labor cost to put it together. It's really a shame to send out so many courses of carbs and sugar with so little protein, trying to impress the customer with so little substance and more fluff... next morning at breakfast, i mentioned to the server that the restaurant asked me many times for my food preferences and she said " we don't do that at breakfast here...you will just have to eat around it." then she went into the kitchen and at the top of her lungs said something rude about me to the kitchen and everyone in the dining room heard it...i was terribly embarrassed. They insisted in meeting my dietary requirements, not me. I had to switch rooms when they wanted me to, so i waited around until 1pm to do as they said. I then went back to the room to take a nap at 3:30....15 minutes into it, housekeeping started cleaning the room next to mine. They turned on the radio in the room at FULL BLAST and were talking to each other so loudly that I could not even sleep.....every time i was about to fall asleep, they would slam a piece of furniture against the wall. The walls are very thin. Still cleaning at 5pm. the rooms do not have AC which is fine, but there are no ceiling fans!! no air coming into the rooms...they have a very small plug in fan, which is so noisy i had to turn it off..the room is so hot at night, since the open windows cannot catch the breeze due to the angle of the hotel facing the opposite direction of the wind. Had to take a sleeping pill both nights to fall asleep.. The WIFI is incredibly weak, that after trying for 24 hours, I finally took my computer to the lobby to work. Not sure what is going on here...either the staff is overworked and overwhelmed or they are not being paid enough..... .. or they are understaffed or management has not trained them well in the art of luxury hospitality and how to speak to people. I have no doubt that the staff are all good gracious people, but it's obvious that management does not treat them well and they are frustrated and their micro-expressions around the guests and me ruined the experience. I left frustrated and exhausted with $1,000 down the drain. second night's dinner was not keto at all, so not sure why they kept telling me they were making me a keto meal.

This a great place with a wonderful caring staff. I will definitely return and recommend this place for anyone who wants to relax and take in the wonderful area.

Beautiful resort, friendly staff, amazing views. Such a nice place to just unwind and relax. They serve dinner and breakfast if you're interested, otherwise there are local places close by. Lots of wild life and I loved the garden!

My husband and I took a road trip up to Oregon from Southern California, with the Tu Tu' Tun Lodge as our ultimate destination. After three days on the road, two nights was clearly not going to be enough at this peaceful retreat, so before even checking out the entire grounds or eating a single bite of the local fresh fare, we booked a third night. Kyle and his staff are so warm and welcoming, and we lacked for nothing during our stay. Our days were spent exploring the local forest, river and shoreline, and after delicious fresh meals, our evenings were spent soaking and star-gazing and falling asleep to a crackling fire. My only regret is that we couldn't have moved in permanently (or at least stayed a few nights more). In my next life I want to come back as the house cat "Woodie." Thanks to everyone at the Tu Tu' Tun for an epically relaxing three nights. We will no doubt be seeing you again!!

I hesitate to even post a review as this spot is like a well kept secret. Kyle and his staff have carried on the good name and service of TuTuTun admirably. The Lodge is on the Rogue River, 6 miles upriver from Gold Beach. The buildings are heavy on natural wood, stones, elegance in an exceptional setting. There are gardens and kayaking and fishing and flowers. And food. A lot of food. I come here yearly just to relax and it's always like coming home.

Fabulous dinner. Executive Chef prepared a lovely dinner Pastry Chef creation was perfect to compliment the meal. The service was spot on. Highly recommend as a place to dine or stay.

Never been so sick in my life. Had told them I was gluten sensitive. Reservation clerk said 'fine.' Asked for a separate table, as we were there for our 55th anniversary and not to met and greet others at a table. They accommodated with a nice library table for two. I did NOT tell them I ate no meat as the website indicated N.W. fare with photos of fish. When we arrived the only meal was prime rib (gads, when is prime rib N.W. fare?). They offered to have the chef be creative - s/he was, with couscous. Typically that is wheat based, but I looked it up and assume s/he used the GF version. NOT. Was very sick at night, wondering if we'd be off in the morning to Portland for our flight to Hawaii. Made it, after fighting that cute but stupid toilet that only opens/closes if you walk away. Try that when you are sick! "Sorry" doesn't work for a high-end lodge. Room was ok but not incredible, location and grounds were great, but too many calls/texts before and after reservation etc. Will never return and am talking... we do live locally.

Our stay at the Lodge was simply a delightful experience. It was the only place that we stayed at on this trip that we had not been to before, and we're already planning a return. Even before we arrived for our stay, the staff at TTT floored us with their endless help and attention to detail. As this was a new area of the Oregon Coast for us to explore, we wanted to make sure we got out and did a bunch of things. They helped us get everything booked and it all went without a hitch. Arriving at the lodge, we parked alongside their pitch and putt course and the apple and pear orchard where deer grazed daily and eat from your hand. We received a warm and helpful welcome upon check in and all details of our stay, including jetboats, fishing and inroom dinner, were all confirmed. Our corner suite was called Hawkins Riffle after a stretch of the Rogue just upriver. Walking out on our deck, the spectacular beauty of the lodge really set in. Any picture or impression that you might have of the great outdoors is just what you'll see here. Wilderness at its finest. The rustic styling of the lodge is beautiful. Our room was well done and comfortable. Big and comfy bed, cozy chairs, granite two sink bath, fridge, wood burning fireplace and full deck with soaking tub on it. You'll find no tv or ipod dock here, and you won't miss them for a second. We slept with the doors open nightly listening to the river. Should there be anything that you've forgotten, say a razor or toothbrush, there is a huge basket of goodies for your use already in the room! No need to trouble calling or going to the lobby for this, they've got you covered....before you even knew you needed it. It's exactly that kind of impeccable attention to detail, foresight and service where TTT really shines. Fires built and ready to go each day, with plenty of wood to keep it going all night right at the stairwells. Everyone we dealt with were genuinely kind and they didn't miss a beat in ensuring that our stay at the Lodge, and trips elsewhere, were memorable. Staff addressed us by our first names the whole time we were here. Our inroom dinners, in lieu of communal dining in the main room, were delicious and served with descriptions that you'd expect when fine dining. While I could have gone for menu options and maybe food with a lighter touch, those are minor gripes and we enjoyed everything that they served. The grounds of the TTT are postcard perfect and meticulously maintained. If you simply wanted to do nothing, you could just play around the Lodge all day. We messed around golfing, browsing the garden and playing with the deer that come down from the mountains nightly to feed in the orchard. We went jetboating and fishing on the Rogue the two days we had here and my wife even caught a salmon. Serendipitously, elk were grazing along the side of the road back to the lodge. Wild Kingdom. Rustic elegance at its best. Our visit to the TTT was perfectly relaxing and exceeded all of our expectations. Owner Kyle and the staff at the Lodge made this a wonderful experience and their spot on and caring service is straight out of the FS/Ritz handbook. Can't wait to return.

Love this place! Beautiful setting, amazing rooms with beyond heavenly beds. Great food and friendly staff. I will definitely be back.

Carol and I spent a few days here on our Northwest driving trip this summer. We've stayed in great hotels, lodges and guesthouses around the world, but our two days here had to rank in the top three. First off, the setting - the Rogue River - is breathtakingly beautiful. The rooms are muted luxe - well designed without being at all ostentatious, just country comfortable with a woodsy, mid-century feel. The meals are fabulous - ranking with the best restaurants in California, France or NYC. Needless to say, we made reservations for a return trip before we left.. Oh, it sounds hokey, but make reservations for the Jet Boat rides. Take the all day ride, you'll see amazing things!

5 stars isn't enough!.. From the moment we arrived, greeted by name, to our departure, with salted caramels for the road, our stay at Tu Tu' Tun was magical. It's the subtle details that make this place so special. From the charming and attentive owner Kyle, to the rest of the staff, all guests are treated like royalty. I spent my birthday there this past weekend with my girlfriend and I've never had a better time. When we walked into our room, they not only had the iced bottle of champagne ready for us (called in by my mom & brother), but also a nice card and gift from the Lodge. The comfort of the room cannot be beat and the views of the property and river are breathtaking. Every detail is covered. Whatever you might have forgot to bring with you is already there in your room, or available by request. A gorgeous pool, kayaks, paddleboards and fishing/ boating tours are right outside for your enjoyment. In the evening, guests gather at the bar and patio for appetizers, followed by a delicious family style meal. A great way to meet people and make new friends. We cannot wait to return next year!

This is an amazing resort. We booked there just so we could eat dinner at the lodge. We had heard it was amazing. We booked dinner with Rory about 2 1/2 months before arrival. We even had requested a vegetarian entree. She confirmed that was no problem. The day we were arriving we got a call asking if we had plan to eat dinner at the property. We told them yes we had confirmed months ago. They told us they could only sit us at 5:00. We had finished lunch at 2:00 planning to have dinner at 7:30. Upon arrival we showed Carol and others all our emails confirming our dinner. They all said sorry we can't do anything about it. We can bring dinner to your room. So we had a $360 plus dinner in our room with all courses delivered at once. The lodge handled this very, vey poorly. A beautiful place but they really messed up with dinner. Which is why we stayed there.

Magic in a bottle. I can't imagine wanting to be part of the social dinner scene, but this place models everything about relaxation, calm, and peaceful introspection that you could ever hope for. This easily fit into the top 10 places of the world to spend some time at. I know that sounds insane, but it truly represents the calm and peaceful attitude and location. There's plenty of options just down the road, if you aren't a fan of the cocktail hour and dinner time where you sit with the other guests. We enjoy a more intimate, less social experience. However, it seems that people absolutely love it, and return year after year. I believe you can have food sent to your room, however. Check ahead!

I wish I could give the Tu Tu' Tun more than five stars! My husband and I did our wedding registry through Honeyfund so that we could have the honeymoon of our dreams. We both love fishing, kayaking, hiking and just being outdoors in general. Roughing it in the wilderness is our idea of a good time, but since we were going to be on our honeymoon we wanted the outdoors minus the ruggedness for once. We loved this place because we were able to be in a rural place while still living lavishly. And oh was it lavish! The room we stayed in was absolutely gorgeous. The bed was so comfy. The bathroom was outfitted with L'Occitane bath products. We had our own private patio that looked out over the Rogue River and the hotel grounds, which was great when we felt like kicking back with a beer and enjoying the scenery. We kept our patio doors wide open each night so we could fall asleep to the sounds of the river. It was like being in a dream! Another thing we loved about this place was the personality! We arrived for our first night rather late thanks to a delayed flight, but we were greeted by name upon arrival by a really sweet woman who helped with our check in and saw us to our room. Throughout our stay all of the staff were absolutely wonderful. Kyle, the owner, was equally great and is truly a genius at what he does. We actually received a card from the Tu Tu' Tun on Valentine's Day wishing us a happy first V-day as husband and wife. Who does that?!?! The Tu Tu' Tun does that. Another thing I loves were the journals kept in each room. Guests are encouraged to write about their experiences while staying here. I spent a good two hours one day on the patio reading through journal entries dating back to 1985. People sure had a lot nicer penmanship back then! While staying here we enjoyed dinner two times. Dinner always started off with a cocktail hour. We were then sat at tables with other hotel guests, and ate our meal family style. It was a one of a kind experience with great food and great company. We also had breakfast here one day, and the steelhead hash was one of the more memorable meals of my life. Aside from all of the eating, drinking, and being merry, we also had a lot of fun putting around outside of the lodge. One day the lodge kitchen packed us a very generous lunch in a backpack so that we could kayak up the river and have a picnic on a sandbar. We also went down to the beaches and went tidepooling which was a ton of fun. We went salmon fishing another day with a guide recommended by the lodge. Another day we made a trip up to Cape Blanco lighthouse, West Coast Safari Game Park, and walked around old town Bandon. This is the best vacation I have ever had. I love everything about this place and cannot wait to go back!

Really expected a lot and it exceeded our expectations. Probably the best thing for this stay is the quality of the staff- Kyle (the owner), Mike the pm guy, Vance who got our luggage into the room. All contributed to a great 2 day stay. Only two observations- there is NOTHING to do unless you fly fish or hike or want to relax and read. Gold Beach has nothing. The portions for the meals are way to much, especially at dinner. It is served family style. Great place to stay
