On the site of a 1970s hotel on Oregon's Rogue River, a group of contemplative cabins created by prefabricated housing company ÖÖD has been added. The hotel, which was named Tu Tu' Tun Lodge after the Indigenous Tututni tribe, increased the range of accommodations it offered as part of a site-wide renovation after Charming Hospitality purchased it.
Mirrored Cabins by ÖÖD in the Middle of Nature
Additionally, the group bought a parcel of land next to it that had previously been a trailer park, so they didn't need extra planning clearance to put semi-permanent homes there. In order to avoid overlooking one another, ÖÖD's Glass Cabins are spread out throughout the sloping terrain, offering views of the mountains, creeks, or rivers.

The mirrored cabins at Tu Tu’ Tun Lodge are experiences in themselves. From the outside, they almost disappear into the landscape. Their walls, wrapped in reflective glass, catch everything around them. Characteristics such as the endless sweep of the star-filled sky, the shifting colors of the mountains at dusk, and the steady flow of the Rogue River are part of what make this place so special. It’s as if nature itself has painted the cabins into the scene, making them feel both hidden and present at once.
Inside, the perspective shifts. The floor-to-ceiling glass that encases three sides of each cabin creates the feeling of standing within the landscape. Guests can watch the first light of morning spill across the peaks or fall asleep beneath the glow of the moon, all while wrapped in comfort. The glass is treated so that, from the inside, it offers a lightly tinted view, softening the light without muting the scenery. From the outside, it reflects the wild beauty of Oregon, ensuring privacy while blending seamlessly with the surroundings.
Some Face the River, While Others Enjoy Creek and Mountain Views
The compact footprints fit double beds, wetrooms with a shower and toilet, a separate sink and vanity, a small closet, and a side table and chairs. Each also has a small private patio or deck with chairs and a fire pit for relaxing outdoors.
A mirrored wood-burning sauna, also by ÖÖD, is positioned close to the rocky riverbank so that guests can refresh themselves with a natural cold plunge between sessions. The cabin accommodation joins 18 guest rooms of various sizes and two suites in the main lodge, which retains its rustic aesthetic with modernised interiors.
There are also four houses with two or three bedrooms that families and larger groups can rent out – two of which are newly constructed, Otter Point and Fern Creek Cottage, which join existing residences River House and Osprey Bend. With uncomparable views of the river and amenities designed to relax as a group, each charming lodge is outfitted with modern fixtures and includes expansive common areas like a wrap-around furnished deck with outdoor soaking tubs.
The main lodge includes a restaurant led by executive chef Derek Piva, which operates a 'wilderness to table' ethos that highlights Pacific Northwest farmers and businesses. Dining is available inside the wood-lined structure, beside a cosy stone fireplace, or out on a patio that overlooks the river.

The outdoor swimming pool below also enjoys views of the water and the forested mountains beyond, which offer hiking, kayaking, fishing, birdwatching, and river tours. Modelled after the natural textures of the Pacific Northwest, each element of the property is designed to envelop guests in nature.
Prefabricated mirrored cabins are popular for rural hotels because they're easy to install on most terrain and blend into the landscape, though opponents regularly voice concerns that they're potentially harmful to wildlife. Beautiful, isn't it?
