    I recently stayed at a charming resort by the lake. The grounds were well-maintained, and I enjoyed watching families having fun on the water. The staff was friendly and added to the warm atmosphere. The variety of room styles catered to different family sizes, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. It truly felt like a classic "up north" resort experience. The food in the restaurant was delicious, and the service was generally nice.

    I had an amazing stay at this resort! The rooms in the main lodge were clean and the beds were incredibly comfortable. The free breakfast buffet had a wide variety of delicious options. The restaurant, right on the lake, served really tasty dinners. The hotel also had fantastic facilities, including activities like boat rentals, paddle boards, and kayaks. The staff were exceptional, especially Julia and David who made the S'mores campfire so much fun. The pontoon boat ride with John was a highlight - his company and knowledge were outstanding.

    We had a fantastic time at Ruttger's Bay Lake Resort. The staff, especially Julia and David, went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. The campfire with s'mores was a highlight of our trip. Additionally, John, the pontoon boat captain, provided us with a memorable excursion and great company. The golf course was in great shape despite the rain, and the pro shop staff were friendly and helpful. The cozy villas along the golf course provided comfortable accommodations. we had a wonderful experience and would recommend this resort.
