• Great amenities... beautiful lake setting, water play for the teens, golf for the adults, shopping, nice dining room. – lbsch2, TripAdvisor
• The staff was friendly and courteous, the facilities were kept up nicely, and although we didn't have the opportunity to eat at Ruby's, I got the impression it would be worth the trip back to do so. When we checked out, I left with the feeling that I wanted to come back next summer with the kids, and possibly on a separate trip with dad to just go fishing. – fmbill, TripAdvisor
• The fourth generation of the Ruttger family continue to provide the best resort experience in Minnesota. The resort's grounds are beautiful [sic], the cabins are clean, the food is outstanding, the golf is great and the beach is very nice. – A TripAdvisor member
