This was our first time to Ruttger's, and we were NOT disappointed. Went to the Brainerd Lakes area for a wedding, and found the later summer rate for a Battle Creek Condo to be more reasonable than getting a decent hotel in Brainerd. My wife and I traveled with a 5yr old and a 5 month old, and were very... more

We recently celebrated my husband's 60th birthday at Ruttgers with 3 other couples. We stayed in "Janes Cottage" and it couldn't have been nicer. We were so thrilled with the size of the cabin and how clean it all was. We each had our own suite with bathroom. Several bedrooms have fireplaces, and jacuzzi tub. We had a dock on... more

My wife and toddler daughter and I visited Ruttgers for July 4 weekend. We have relatives nearby and so only spent part of our time at the resort. It was our first time at Ruttgers, and we had a great stay. We are happy to recommend this resort - which is a classic 'up north' family resort. The resort is... more

My golf group just completed their 10th annual outing. Once again, the staff, golf and food were outstanding. I've never seen a happier crew. We look forward to many more years there. more

We've been taking a summer family vacation at Ruttger's for several years. It is perfect for families with young kids. Our boys will remember these Ruttger's weeks for the rest of their lives. Highlights are the meals at the main lodge and the Kids' Kamp for kids 4-12. Highly recommended. more

There are lodge rooms that are basic hotel rooms, but some do have a nice screened porch overlooking the lake. The rooms are standad and are nothing too special. The... more

This was our 6th stay over a 30 year span - and with the family growing the cottages were becoming small. This year they opened 8 - 3 bedroom 'villas' keeping with the log home feel - but with all the new features other resorts are now offering - fireplaces, in room refrigerators, a full kitchen in the main room... more

We loved the beautiful grounds, the main lodge, both golf courses, the indoor pool, and all the scheduled activities (water skiing, bingo, talent show). They even built a fire for us in one of the outdoor fire pits and provided skewers for our marshmallows. We stayed in the golf condos accross the street and my only complaint was that I... more
