We were told most rooms have AC when in fact only 3 of the 8 rooms have AC. Only 2 of 6 burners worked on stove. Oven heat inaccurate.
Screen windows/doors had holes in them.
Not as handicap accessible as we thought.
We loved how spacious it was. Never felt cramped. Pool table and fooseball was an added bonus.

This place is stunningly beautiful, dock access is close, fire ring is close and the charcoal grill is big enough to accommodate our group of 14! We had a great time and would return.

We are a group of 12-15 that has a traditional of going to northern Minnesota each early to mid October. Given the larger size of our group, we normally rent a vacation property in "cabin country." This was our first time at the Ruth Lake Retreat, and all agreed this was one of the finest locations we've had in years. It's a gorgeous property with a great number of bedrooms wonderful kitchen, pool table / foosball table, complete with amazing lake views. If the property is available next year, we'd definitely consider a return trip!

It was perfect, but only missing one thing... a boat / pontoon rental. The lake was so nice. The sunset was beautiful... would had loved to be out there. We will definitely return though because location was great and house was beautiful and big for our big family! Some minor issues with bathroom doors not closing or locking, but we made it work. It rained twice on us so the pool table & other games along with the many TVs provided kept us company inside. Had many memorkes at the bonfire too. Yard was big enough for the kids to run around. Like the basketball hoop. Overall, great experience.
