Ruttger's Bay Lake Resort

About

The Ruttger family owned and operated the resort from 1898 to 2020 making it the oldest family-owned resort in Minnesota history. Ruttger’s turned a new chapter in 2020 with new owner, 1898 Investments. In 2023, 1898 sold the resort to Odyssey Resorts. Ruttger’s traditions are still an important part of what we do. Ruttger’s is a traditional, cozy, up north family lake resort where guests feel at home, relaxed and comfortable because they are treated like family; not a customer.

Enjoy s'mores by the bonfire, two picturesque golf courses, a full marina, a salon and spa, three restaurants, two bars, shopping, a coffee shop, and more, plus incredible fishing, boating, and water recreation. Ruttger’s is the closest full-service resort to the Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area and their world-famous mountain biking and hiking trails.
