This was our fifth stay at Ruttgers Birchmont, and once again we found it to be a peaceful and relaxing vacation. We have a large family, and Ruttgers is perfect for a family summer vacation because everyone can choose the lodging that suits them best, whether it's a room in the lodge or a mult-bedroom cabin. The restaurant on site... More

My 8 year old son and I spent a long weekend at Ruttgers. We had a parkside lodge room. It was out-dated, but plenty of space. The bathroom is small-shower only. The best part of the resort is the Garden Grill restaurant. Walleye every night, and service with a smile! Generous free continental breakfast every morning. Includes fresh fruit, yogurt,... More

Ruttger's has a beautiful location and very friendly and helpful staff. We rented the one bedroom cabin for the weekend and the pontoon boat for a day. They made sure all of our needs were met. The indoor fitness center and pool is world class. The beach is great for kids of all ages. We had a fire pit directly... More

We have been coming to Ruttger's for 8 years straight. We started off in the main lodge and as our family grew, we now stay in a lakefront cabin. The location is wonderful! The lunch menu is good and is improving every year. It has much more variety than the standard club sandwich! The breakfast buffet is a bonus. I... More

What a dump this place is. It was dirty, the rooms were tiny. The Manager John is full of BS!!. the intire property needs an update inthe worst way! If your looking for a place to throw your things while your out on the lake and are not going to stay there, its perfect!! The people that go there annually... More

Starting with the positive features: Beautiful location, lovely lakeshore property and friendly staff. Unfortunately, we were overwhelmed with the negatives... Our room was gross, disinfectant smell combined with moldy odor, disgusting towels, poor/no ventilation, sulfurous water smell and quality, much noise from upper floor guests and horrible beds just topped it off... We had no housekeeping during our visit, alerted... More

We were very disappointed with our 2 bedroom, 2 bath 'rustic' cabin. It was very dirty. The first thing we did was vacuum. There was someone else's garbage out on the deck, including a dirty towel. The beds were very hard. The carpet needs replacing badly. Everything is dated. That would have been acceptable, but the uncleanliness was not. Would... More

The purpose of this trip was to go skiing and have a place to sleep. Overall it served the purpose. During the winter, they have a few cabins and rooms available. The pool and jacuzzi were operating. They have a workout area and a few snacks to purchase. During the winter, there is no restaurant operating. Rooms were clean and... More

My 1,600 mile road trip with two teenage girls was fun until we pulled up to the Ruttger's Birchmont. The girls were certain it was haunted and were having major anxiety just walking through the front door. They stayed on the beach until I was able to secure a room in the Cedar Lodge next door to the main (haunted)... More
