As one of Minnesota's premier resorts, we take great pride in welcoming you to Ruttger's Bay Lake Lodge.

It's here that you'll find the tranquil, re-energizing spirit that helps you relax and regroup. Whether you are planning a family getaway, reunion, or business retreat, the Ruttger family will show you what the word hospitality really means.

From our family to yours, a sincere north woods…welcome!
Since the very beginning 100 years ago, the Ruttger family has been dedicated to giving our guests the most memorable vacations possible. Through the years we've learned how to provide a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere so you can concentrate on what great vacations are all about…care-free enjoyment of quality family time.

Lakeside cottages, condominiums, lodge rooms, and villas are all designed to meet your needs for comfort and convenience. We're proud to offer accommodations of this quality and invite you to stay here and learn why we've developed the reputation that we have.

Sissebagamah, as the Indians called it, is a most remarkable body of water. With a full spectrum of Minnesota's favorite game fish, this "Lake of Many Bays" is a northern Minnesota favorite, a gorgeous example of our region's beauty…and a grand lake to boat and fish. Our beach is an enviable stretch of sugar sand, and we have ample boat docking in our marina, with many boats for rent. The view from the Lodge and the lakeside cottages and villas is a great reminder of why northern Minnesota is a remarkably soothing place to be.

Stroll along the lakeshore or among the plentiful and fragrant flower gardens. Swim the lake, or the pools…outdoor or indoor. Relax in the hot tub and sauna. Enjoy a set of tennis, or canoe our own special bay of this marvelous lake. We've got over 400 acres of playground for families to discover new adventures or spend quiet times together. Our guest's enjoyment is our only business. We've done it longer than anyone in this neck of the woods. We like to think we also do it better.

If there's one thing our guests say we overdo, it's feeding them. This is one indulgence that we believe you deserve. And so, we do it up right. With fresh ingredients and tantalizing creative recipes, we go to great extremes to offer meals you won't soon forget.

The Lakes, and 18-hole, 6,500-yard course, was carved from 250 acres of rugged north-woods terrain. With two natural lakes, water is a factor on ten holes. We also offer a nine-hole course - the beautiful Alec's Nine. Our new clubhouse tops of the major renovation we've done to our golf courses. That's where you'll find the Pro Shop and Zig's Steakhouse. All this to bring you a golf experience you'll definitely want to repeat.

From fishing to Kid's Kamp, where they learn the wonders of nature, our smaller guests never run out of things to do. For all ages we offer great shopping in our Country Store and Auntie M's Kaffeehaus. The annual fall Oktoberfest celebrates the Ruttger family's European ancestry with music, food, dancing, and an arts and crafts fair. The list of things to do is exactly as long as you care to have it be.

As one of the first Minnesota resorts to offer conference facilities, we've learned how to stay a few steps ahead of meeting planners and facilitators. We know what it takes to run a seamless meeting. When it's time for work, we've got you covered. When the meetings are over and it's time for "leisure networking," this property gives you all the options to enjoy your time together away from the flip-charts and note-pads.
