    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. $$$

    Apricot and Buratta Salad

    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.

    Just beautiful and the service was luxurious with a personal touch. I have recommended this place 2-3x already. Hope to get back some day.

    Breakfast: Turkish eggs the sourdough was grilled on a wood stove!!!!!

    I stumbled across this gem on google maps on a hotel search. The reviews didn't do it justice. It was so peaceful. I came mid January and the weather was perfect. Crisp air and bright sunshine. The property was well kept and comfortable, the pool is kept at a nice 80+ degrees. Derrick, Hannah, Cameron, and Brooke were great. They make you feel at home and welcome. There are also glass rooms you can stay in that are on my list for next time! 100/10 recommend and worth every penny!!!!

    This Lodge is truly one of Oregon's hidden gems. From the warm, attentive staff - Hannah was amazing- to the stunning glass River-front rooms, every detail feels intentional and peaceful. Add in the riverside sauna and the constant sound of flowing water, and it becomes the perfect place to unplug, reset, and recharge.

    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!!

    Bad food. Bad service.

    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 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

They have really fixed the place up since we were there. They have added a wonderful porch that has a hot tub overlooking the river. (The river has even moved since then and is now right below the deck.) It's a great place to watch the seals, blue herons, egrets, osprey, and the sunrise over the distant hills. There is a wooden fence between each patio, so you have some privacy. Inside has been carefully remodeled to keep a cabin feel, but also give a touch of elegance. The woodwork and decor are both very nice and give the room a very cozy feeling, along with the nice gas fireplace in the livingroom area. The kitchen is simple, with a fridge and microwave, but no stove. There are a few plates, bowls, wine glasses, utensils, etc along with a small coffee pot, but the coffee given to use is just a tea bag coffee thing, so I'd recommend bringing your own. The bed was comfortable with end tables on each side. They don't have any usb plugins, but there are outlets close to the bed. There's also a dresser and small closet. The bathroom is also well appointed with a comfortable shower, small shelf for your shaving kit, a hair dryer, etc. Overall, we were very happy to see our old apartment turned into such a wonderful, relaxing resort. It brought back a lot of good memories, and we really enjoyed our stay. This is a real hidden treasure for the Gold Beach area.

Stayed one night, June 2026 during the 3 day 90-95 degree heat wave. They are currently renovating the inside of the rooms. I'd booked two rooms and requested the rooms be side by side or as close as possible. They had our rooms in two different buildings which wasn't going to work. Kevin, who checked me in, said I could pay $80 more to upgrade and have the rooms closer, on the same floor and same building. So we paid for the upgrade, only to get into the "upgraded" room to find out it had no AC and that it was STILL in a separate building!!! It was a SAUNA in that room. Literally. I go back to the front desk, and Kevin, who checked me in and told me there were no rooms side by side available. He then also said he FORGOT that those rooms don't have AC yet. You had the audacity to charge me more, get me less, all while wasting my time. As I'm in the lobby trying to get a resolution, more guests were coming to complain that they too had no AC. Kevin then tells me he does have another room available right below mine but that he couldn't match the price I paid on Expedia, cause he'd lose his job. So now I had to book a 3rd room. Both rooms were modestly updated. AC worked great in one room and was intermittently turning on/off in the other. The next day when checking out, the lady that helped me apologized for the difficulties and said it never should've been this complicated to get me checked in. I feel bad for all the guests that didn't have AC. The pros of this place is the location. Absolutely great views and right on the water. The property needs significant updates inside and out which they seem to be working on. This place has potential to be great. I was concerned about road noise but never heard any while in the room.

The…read moreroom also felt smaller than expected, and the overall experience did not feel like a resort. It felt like an RV park with a few manufactured homes. We were asked to leave because our dogs were briefly off leash the night we arrived. My partner had an accident in the cramped quarters and got a black eye. In the commotion, our golden retriever got out while he was going to the car to get ice. When we realized he was missing and opened the front door, he was sitting there waiting. The next morning, we were walking our dogs from the unit to the car on the property, looking for their leashes, when the park manager, Deidre, confronted us about the leash rule and said our dog had been "all over the small park" the night before. We tried to explain what had happened, but she was unnecessarily confrontational and focused on the fact that we had "broken the rules." She also considered it another violation that we had stepped out from our unit to the driveway of our rented home without leashes. After several minutes of being scolded while we were outside trying to leave, she said, "I am not trying to be a hard ass." At that point, we told her she was definitely going overboard. I could not change what had happened the night before; I could only leash the dogs going forward. In frustration, I cussed and asked what the actual penalty was so we could stop having a confrontation on our vacation. She returned within the hour, knocked on our door, and told us, "The penalty is to leave." She added that if we did not leave, she would call the police. We packed up and complied. Frankly, I was not upset about leaving because we did not like the accommodations and had felt stuck with a three-night stay we had already paid for. On our way out, we stopped at the office to discuss the unused nights. Deidre arrived, intercepted the conversation, refused a refund, told us to leave, and said she was calling the police a second time. What shocked us most was that Deidre tried to keep payment for nights we did not stay. We worked through Airbnb and ultimately received the refund against Diedre's wishes. Future guests should know this is an RV park, not the waterfront resort experience the listing suggested to us. We found a real beachfront place down the road for much less money.

They provide you with basic cooking items and cleaning, along with toiletries. There's a fan in the living room and bedroom for those warm summer nights and a TV in all three spaces. The deck is huge! And the hot tub is good for 4. You're literally steps from the path to the ocean and if you walk off your deck and in between a couple bushes you'll see it. It would be nice if those shrubs were cut way down just to see the ocean and river that goes behind the cottage.

I specifically booked this place for a jetted tub so was disappointed and on top of that the room was dirty. The hotel was able to move me to a room on the third floor. Very nice view and was a little cleaner than the first room. The room I first booked was a king bed with a "soaker" broke down jetted tub, room 501 which is also right next to the laundry room and on the bottom floor. Pictures show the gross marks and hair all over the lounger. My second room was 329 on the third floor with a king bed. The view was amazing and the location is steps away from the beach. The management needs to give more time to the cleaners and once a month they should lint roll the furniture and wipe off the marks. Also dusting is very much needed in the rooms. Overall the place is run down and not clean. Its pricey. I paid $178 for one night and thats with a BestWestern Diamond member discount. Lots of damage in rooms and not clean so be-aware if you have small kids. Also note that there are only wall heaters, they are very hot to the touch and do take time to heat the room. I did not see or use the ac since I visited in April. The only saving grace is the location and views on the third floor.

The room according to the website is available at 4pm, which I have never heard of this late a check in time, but my wife had stayed there in the past and wanted to go. So, I call about 2:30 to see if we can check in, "nope, it is still being cleaned." OK, we stall until 4. 1. 4:17 after waiting 17 minutes on other guest and try and check in and the room is still not ready. 2. 4:35 "oops, the room is not unclean it is double booked. "no problem we will find you something even if we have to upgrade." 3. 4:50 here is an upgraded room w/ a fireplace, it is supposed to not be pet friendly but we will make it work. We set off to the new room, unpack out things, climb to the second floor only to discover the room has one bed instead of 2. 4. 4:55, go back, wait in line and inform them it won't work while my family is waiting in the parking lot w/ all our stuff. While I was standing in line 4 other people in front of me are there for various complaints, key card won't work, double booked and someone is in the room, 1 bed instead of 2, gal allergic to dogs in put in a pet room, etc. 5. 5:30 they have scrambled and talked to various employees trying to find a room, the check in employee is not from there and not familiar w/ the rooms. 6. 5:40 the new employee discovers the room building we were originally booked to move in has several rooms open which she could have given me at 4:17, but she didn't know the layout. 7. While I am waiting, she offers me the free breakfast, "Great what is it?" " I don't know she states. "Is the spa up and running I ask." "No that is not working." Later the staff told me the spa hasn't been opened in months and corporate won't change the website. 8. 5:50 we move all our stuff from the one originally given to our new room. We finally get in the room at 6pm. 9. The room... Have to give kudos where they are due in order for it to be a good review. Spacious, nice new mirrors, vanity/sink area is large and the bathroom is nice but it ends there. 10. 6pm we finally settle in the room. We find the pillows are only 1.5-2" thick, wrap 4 layers of cardboard in a towel and you get the idea. so my wife sends my son off to the original room to find the personal pillow they had left behind. He found the gal who was allergic to pets in the same room we had already brought our pet into. 11. Towels are so thin and dingy they are identical to what I use in my shop as rags. Coffee pot doesn't work. Toilets flush, but you need to hold down on them for 30 seconds and you have a 50/50 chance of it flushing completely. Minimal but a bed reading light is out. So much for first impressions. 12. The heat was stuck at 78d all night and we couldn't lower it, sweated all night until maint, found it didn't work in the am. Only thing to do was to turn it off. 13. The "Ocean View" is looking over a parking lot, then a large area of a broken down, beat up building that looks like it should be destroyed which is the spa area. The spa area about 30' long and 12' high making the primary view below the ocean. You can see the ocean over the top of it, not bad view but completely disrupted by the decrepit spa building. Maintenance told us of the 3 spas there, all had broken at various times in the past and none were working but the corporation owning the hotel wouldn't spend any money on it. 14. They have a balconies including chairs and a table but are so narrow if you sit in the chair anyone passing has to turn sideways or the person in the chair has to turn their legs like in a movie theater. Not as bad, but close. If someone is carrying luggage, forget it, the sitting person has to stand up. 15. 8 am. The maintenance crew start work on the floor above us, so much for sleeping in 16. Midday, we have to move our cars in the parking lot as they are spray painting. 17. Every guest I talked to there had a complaint of one sort or another. The guest next to us had urine stained carpet that smelled of urine. 18. I complained to the manager the next day and she was very nice, patient etc. citing new employees as the challenge. She even comped me a room for one night. To be honest she was quite pleasant and apologetic about the whole affair. All the staff were really nice, but not one staff member had anything positive to say about the management of the hotel. The hotel has great potential. A great location, great access to the beach, the view of the spa building could be pleasant if it was kept up but not as is. The breakfasts were biscuits and gravy, next day eggs and potatoes. Pretty good for a smaller hotel, unfortunatley they ran out by 9am. Can't change the balconies but buy some pillows and towels, clean the rooms, fix the spa, prepare enough breakfast for what you have booked and hire someone who knows how to book and is familiar w/ the hotel. Paint on the outside wouldn't hurt either. It is not nice or pretty.
