A Hidden Gem in Northern California
Nestled along the banks of the South Fork of the Eel River, with over half a mile of private riverfront, our rustic retreat offers a one-of-a-kind location to disconnect and escape the hustle and bustle of city life.
Built in the 1940’s, Big Bend Lodge was originally a small homestead consisting of 9 cabins sitting together on a rare flat parcel along the beautiful South Fork of the Eel River.

"I've agonized over how to convey how much I love Big Bend Lodge. It is truly my favorite place to be. From the cozy cabins to the beautiful scenery, it is summertime perfection. "
"The place to slow down, with family, the dog if you have em, and the slow moving Eel river. It's a place I never want to leave, and enjoy immensely."
"One of the best places to swim EVER! It's like a natural Olympic size swimming pool surrounded by cliffs, with beautiful trees on one side, and a beach and valley on the other. Breathtaking."
