Ruttger's is on Bay Lake near Brainerd, Minnesota. It's an old lodge that has been updated nicely. The Minnesota's summers make this a perfect, relaxing vacation spot. Bay Lake is a smaller, perfect lake that does not offer the hub-bub of nearby Gull Lake or some of the busier lakes in the area. There is plenty to do here. The... More

We tried this resort on a last-minute deal. We stayed in one of the lodge rooms - great room- queen lofted, perfect for a family. The grounds were beautiful!! The service was very personable - everyone was friendly and accomodating.They had fun children's activities. The outside pool was nice. The beach was very small, however, this was due to unusually...

Went to Octoberfest at Ruttgers and it was great! I was impressed with everything they had to offer. Great resort!

First time staying at Ruttgers. We stayed three nights this fall with our two smaller dogs in the pet friendly room in the West Lodge. Weather was not too cooperative but we were using Rutgers a base for some day drives to see fall colors in the state parks and area so we actually were able to drive out of... More

We first found Ruttger's last year. The entire resort is great. The greatness starts at the front desk with your check in. They were helpful numerous times when we called down for directions to neighboring towns & to get additional items or maintenance requests. We had a door knob not working and a maintenance worker was at our room in... More

We took our 2nd trip to Ruttgers in late June - my parents, my siblings and all our kids. Our group of 23 ranged in age from 5 to 73, and Ruttgers didn't disappoint! There is so much to keep everyone busy. There are daily activities that will please all members of your group. We stayed in the newer buildings... More

Fun spot, with both old and new accommodations. We stayed in an old lake side cabin, very fun....feels like something out of a movie. Definite shows it's age, but I think that's part of it's beauty. Room was very rustic, but had AC, and it's own deck. Restaurant lounge were nice, outdoor pool area is kinda small, but has a... More

My extended family (20+ people) have been coming to Ruttger's for over 15 years. We always go to Ruttger's because my 87 year old grandmother loves to fish and the fishing guide she likes works on Bay Lake. We stay in the new condo cabins, which are quite nice, spacious and clean. The food in the lodge is just ok,... More

This is a nice resort, I have been going here for 10 years with golf buddies and then I took my family for four years also. For going on the golf trip we have three deciding factors, 1. Lodging, 2. Food, 3. Golfing. The lodging is great for us we stay in lofted lodge rooms which have a queen downstairs... More
