We had a great time at Ruttgers! There are definitely a few things they could do as easy upkeep— like a lot of the buildings need a good pressure wash and paint, but it’s been great to see the improvements over the years! And the restaurants at the resort are high priced for the “vibe” (flys everywhere because they leave the doors wide open) and service isn’t the best, but the food is good.

Dated

Our unit was dated and carpet dirty. There are newer options for more money.

We had a great time! The property and lake were gorgeous, the staff was exceedingly helpful and friendly. They had fantastic amenities! The condo was nice, very spacious, but a little run down. The screens were damaged, so the mosquitos came in at night, and I would recommend additional plates, silverware and perhaps salt/pepper in the units with full kitchens. I would definitely go back!

We needed to move rooms because my 90 yr old mother was unable to go up and down the 16 stairs to our room. The person at the desk commented that we made our reservation online and unsure they could find us another room. She said there was an option but it was much more expensive. I had no choice. We got to the next room and found that it only had one bed vs the two that I had originally booked. It did have a very uncomfortable hide-a-way bed. We were in the area for a funeral so had no choice but to keep our stay. The bottom of the refrigerator was filled with water which I had to clean up. Phones were out, internet problems. Light bulbs missing. Cable box missing so tv did not work in bedroom. Remote for fireplace missing. All in all, not a place that I would stay at again. Ruttger’s used to be a great place to stay on Bay Lake. No longer. It is dated, rundown, and overpriced for the accommodations.

Beautiful scene from the room. The beds were comfortable, everything was clean, and they brought new supplies in a short amount of time when we asked.

Pool Closed

When we arrived we found out the pool and hot tub were under construction. This would have been great to know before we booked.
