Quintessential lake vacation. Pools were very nice. Billy- from the beach cabana answered all our questions and had great stories. Beach and docks are accessible and fun. Too windy to use one of the various boats available. Breakfast in the restaurant was tasty with friendly servers. Room in the lodge was basic but nice. Great for families or a get away.

Great Stay!

We really enjoyed staying at Rutger's Bay. The staff were all incredibly friendly, and there were a lot of great activities to enjoy. We also loved the views and the relaxed vibe. My kids are asking if we can go back next year.

Great place to stay. Was disappointed there wasn’t any breakfast as our reservation stated it was included in price.

Nice resort right on Bay Lake. We stayed in an upper villa and the room was spacious and clean. The bathroom was in need of some repairs and updates but overall it was an enjoyable stay.

Appreciated the room - as it was very quiet and you didn’t hear any of your neighbors.;

Very reasonably priced Villa. The building & unit were very clean & all furnishings (inside & on the deck) were updated nice quality pieces.

Love Ruttger's! We go ever summer. Its a nice relaxing getaway before school starts up. Having the option of swimming in an indoor or outdoor pool as well as in the lake is great! Food is delicious!

Finally a place where all their 2 pools and hot tub were actually open and working. loved the food options and bar. The patios and grounds were fabulous and well landscaped. Although I didn't use any of the lake toys, the options were amazing. I'll go there again in a heart beat.

The property needs updating, including the bathroom shower to justify the daily rate. No mention of resort fees during booking.

Beautiful resort that needs updating.

It is a beautiful resort on a beautiful lake. Just needs some updates. We were looking forward to the outdoor pool by the lake but looks like it hasn't been used in years. Everything closes super early but otherwise everyone was very nice!
