Fresh Air, Fresh Ideas...This Lakeside Retreat Has it All!

Discover a charming Minnesota destination on the shores of Bay Lake. Ruttger's Bay Lake Lodge lets you unwind in a refreshing, natural setting away from all those pesky distractions. Here, you can settle down in a cozy cottage, villa or condo, each with its own set of amenities that will make you feel right at home. Of course, don't spend all your time indoors, not when there's so many adventures waiting for you. Hundreds of hiking and biking trails are just steps away, or you can take out a complimentary canoe or kayak from the resort's marina and explore the quiet waters of the lake. Anglers of all ages are sure to reel in a great catch of a variety of fish such as crappie, walleye, and bass. And when you need a break from the lake, grab your club and head out onto the 18-hole championship golf course, designed by Joel Goldstrand. After a long day, relax with a delicious meal at one of three onsite dining options before retreating to your comfortable home-away-from-home!
