Rutgers is an old school traditional nothwoods rfamily resort. I’ve stayed there 3 times in the past year so yes I would recommend it. TheVillas on the Bay are lovely u nits. I cannot say the same for the condo units on North Bay. (On the golf course). They are tiny and old. I would not recommend them. Crosby is a nearby cute small town with some nice shops and a good brewery.

We are residents on the lake and have always felt welcome at Ruttgers. Saturday night we took the family on the boat over for dinner. The boat slips are easy to dock and we made our way to the deck for dinner. To our delight we met a friend whose nephew was playing guitar on the deck. Some great country classics, played at a decibel level where we could still talk. The remodeled deck, food and service was wonderful. We drove home to a setting sun for a perfect evening. The new log siding and Black Exterior Andersen windows are a home run! Looks great Ruttgers.

We had a peaceful weekend, and the northern lights were beautiful. We went to the spa, shopping, relaxing in the hot tub and walks along the beach. The Mother's Day brunch was delicious! Thank you to the Ruttger's staff for the hospitality and kindness.

There was no staff on site when I stayed onsite on a Tuesday during March. The TV didn't work. Tried calling the main desk and no one answered since they didn't staff the desk. Lot was not plowed. Complex I stayed in was unlocked and no other guests were around. Felt very alone and no one to help.

We booked a mini vacation to snow shoe. Unfortunately, there wasn't any snow but there are many great hiking trails nearby. Everyone at Ruttger's was friendly and helpful. The staff was great from the time we made our reservations to checkout. Our villa was beautiful. Everything was spotless. It was very comfortable. I highly recommend the Blueberry French Toast in the White Oak Grill.

We walked into a cabin that had spiders all over and a tub that had mold. We cleaned it the best we could and bought bug spray. We decided to clean it on our own since we heard when we were checking in the staffing was low. We had family staying in the lodge and did not want to ruin their stay because of our issues. We ended up leaving a day early since the spiders re-appeared. Discussed this with the front desk upon checking out. They gave me the general managers card to try to get a one day refund. I texted him, no response. I called him a few days later and he had every excuse of why the cabins were in that condition.

We were not informed at reservation time that an Oktoberfest was scheduled at the resort the same time we were there. We were not warned the pool would be closed during the day. Vendors blocked access to check in. Patio door in unit was not clean. Coffee Maker in unit didn't work with coffee supplies. We had to go out for coffee and then purchase correct supplies. We could have had similar accomodations at a Country Inn for half the price.
