History
Tu Tu' Tun Lodge opened in June 1970 as a family-run hideaway on the north bank of the Rogue River, a favorite of fly fishermen and writers. Its name honors the Tututni people, whose name loosely means "people of the place by the water." In 2023 longtime guest Charles Banks bought the lodge, aiming to make it a destination hotel without losing its spirit.
